Management Action Plan

I couldn’t give a zero so I gave a one. They called me this morning and I caught one to what they were doing due to a similar incident in Dallas. When I started the pressing the lady, she started backtracking. I said I was not interested at all in their service and what they try to do to people is BS. Stay away from folks like this. You should never have to pay a dime to look for a job.

I have to agree with Heather from Katy, 3 years ago, I was in the «Job Search Market» I was also contacted by a couple of Employment Counselors with a similar approach.
They really criticized my resume and told me that it was no wonder I was still unemployed. They told me my search approach was all wrong and that I would never land my dream job unless I signed up with them for their assistance. They were connected with the right employers and would refer my resume over to them once I came on-​board as their client. Better yet, once I retained them as a my consultant!
So the interview turned into more or less a qualifying session. They were asking all kinds of questions about money. How much I had, How long could I wait to search for the «right job» 2 months 4 months? 6 months?
I am in sales, and I knew I was being qualified. And he lied about the companies he had so called connections with. He knew nothing of the companies nor industry I was applying for. Furthermore I had my resume reviewed by a HR professional. After I paid to have it redone! So I was very confident that he was saying anything he could to instill fear.
Once they think you have the money to pay for their services they proceed to so call help you! I definitely had the money but I smelled a rat. And he knew it too…
So even though I was more than qualified and experienced, and I had the references and previous performance and W2s to back that up. He still proceeded to tell me how inefficient my job search was as well as how my «past performance has no bearing on my future performance» Are you kidding me? This was from a seasoned consultant with over 25 years experience! If that was the case why in the heck do employers ask for resumes?
I got out of there mad, and really discouraged, but with my pocket book in tact. A good friend of mine also reminded me that good head hunters will be very honest and forward, they receive compensation from their clients, the employers. The are also helpful in your own job search. Assisting you with any areas that may need a little polishing without the discouraging attitude.
Stay away from MAP career Counseling. I also found this. I am not the only one who experienced this.
