Contrary to the rebuttal he posted here, the owner and CEO of JobFinders painted a very different picture in an article in the Orange County Register (1/28). He made it very clear that the company does NOT hook people up to jobs. He said the company's focus is to put "up to 200 companies" in the hands of their clients. He admitted that not he or any of the counselors for the company have any specific or academic qualifications for the work they perform. They also do NOT link people with specific jobs; they are simply marketers (and you are the product).
The sales pitch I received, which almost snared me until I read the article mentioned above, was very slick. A huge binder was tossed on the table. Though the top of the binder contained a few testimonial letters, it was stated that the rest of the pages in the binder contained the long list of jobs at my consultant's disposal ("So many that I can't keep the web site up-to-date with my available positions."). I had not answered some of the questions on their questionnaire, as I did not believe they applied to my job search, and the counselor immediately picked up on those as my "depression" that someone of my talents should not be going through. "Let us get you out there and we will get you in a position tailored to you."
Stay away from this place. They provide a service, but it is overpriced and something you can do yourself for a lot less.
