The Barrett Group is a total ripoff. When you initially contact them they make a very strong pitch and represent that finding you a job will be no problem. Then after you sign a contract with them you fill out a few questionaires that supposedly help the consultant assigned to you. At this point, I felt like I had made a good choice. However, once you have completed all the questionaires and the company has written your resume, you have a conference with your consultant who basically tells you to network. If your networking doesn't work out The Barrett Group then sends mass mailings to certain geographic areas and tells you to call these people up and "network". What's even more ridiculous is that the contacts on the mass mailings are not always correct. It's a total scam.
The resume The Barrett Group wrote for me is good, but that is the only thing the company has done that was helpful. Basically, they just tell you to do things that you read in business magazines all the time. It's very upsetting because I am in a terrible work situation and The Barrett Group took advantage of it. Now, I'm still in a terrible work environment, but I'm much poorer because of the fee I had to pay The Barrett Group.
