I wish I had read the "consumer complaints" before I spent $6000 at Bernard Haldane Associates (BH). When I read the reports by all those client of BH, I could have written almost any of them myself. I feel like an idiot. Have you seen news reports where someone has taken advantage of elderly people and disappeared in the night with there life savings? That's how I feel. Studid and foolish.
After I had been laid off twice in a row, I felt I needed help to get to a good strong company. I meet with BH in Dallas and fell for the mumbo gumbo sales pitch. I too was told I had been under paid and could get a better job with there help in 2 to 3 months. They had to review my resume at a staff meeting and see if they could help me. I received a call the next day stating they would "accept" me as a client. (What was I thinking?)
I was told my resume needed work and they helped me with that. They also said my new resume would be posted on several web sites. That may be true, but I haven't been able to find it amoung the other 50,000 resumes in my catagory. (I was given a "discount" and was charge ONLY $6,000 by BH because I had used another agency 4 years prior.) That was 13 months ago. I have not had one company contact me due to the efforts or assistance of BH.
Scam/rip-off? You bet it is!
