Resume Viper is a very aggressive company that loads your e-mail inbox with spam of every imaginable degree... Preying upon people who are out of work and looking for the most sensible way to get their resume in front of hiring managers. Unfortunately they don't even come close to providing a service that will assist
in any type of job search.
Here is what they promise:
-Your resume was matched against a database of 1,000s of top recruiters/employers that have requested to receive resumes in your industry and region. (They sent my resume to every state and industry in the US... Although I requested FL and Sales positions)
-Your resume is NEVER SENT "Unsolicited" Registered Hiring Companies receive resumes only "By Invitation". When your resume is received by a Hiring Company, it will be welcomed and read immediately. No other distribution site offers this most effective feature. (the only task the e-mail recipient has to do is open the e-mailed resume and either delete or RANK it)
I had 2522 resumes e-mailed and 39 opened it and ranked it "GOOD" then their commitment is complete. After 3 days, I have not received even one phone call from a recruiter or employer. I have used FREE resume distribution services in the past that have generated 10's of calls immediately!
When I called to vent my frustration, a person named SAM answered the phone. After inquiring into what I actually spent my $100 on, he explained that it was my resume itself that was the problem. Keep in mind now that the receptionist is now giving me advice on my resume. SAM explained that they are also a resume writing company and have been in business for 14 years. I guess it doesn't take many people a day to get sucked into a scheme like this to stay around for 14 years. Then I asked him how long he had been with the company... He replied 14 years... That's a long time to still be answering the phones, I replied. Imagine the silence... It won't get my $100 back but I feel better. Please BEWARE of this company.
