The Executive Professionals
Stay away from The Executive Professionals in Irvine & San Diego, Advertises like recruiter, but takes your $5k, promises interviews, and returns nothing back. No job!

Initial ad on monster.com was misleading. After signing up, I saw someone go into their office, heard Barrie's pitch, the $4,860 (I paid), and walked right out. I signed because I felt it was a good investment on their claims of placing 30 to 40 people a month etc. Barrie told me that they can't promise me a job, but he did guarantee me an interview in 30 days. He said I would have to work hard for that. I worked hard, and completed what they asked. I did not get an interview from anything they did or taught me to do. The seminar they gave was reasonable information, but not very helpful. I was supposed to do mock interviews; never happened. I did my reports, used their "tools" for research, but was told I was also not taking advantage of some other tools they had. I went through a majority of tools that took more time to go through and I was not able to look for jobs. So I concentrated more on networking and looking for jobs. I was given a bunch of links where I had to do hours of research. They do nothing but meet with us every two weeks and talk about whatever; we do all the work. Bob Cunningham my coach who now retired, (and did not tell me until I gave up on them 3 weeks later) used an outdated resume template for everyone. Barrie told me I need customized resume for every job. I got 1 resume. I sent them an email on Dec. 9,06 saying you are just like Bernard Haldane Assoc., I want my money back. Reply: just give us a chance first. They had a chance. Emailed them 2/22/06 ask money back.

I took them to small Claims because the Arbitration is $2500. I lost because I filled out surveys saying they were doing ok, but I was under duress when filling them out. Bob was sitting right there, the guy I was evaluating. The judge felt bad, but she had to go with the law. Don't ever sign contracts with these frauds or other companies like them, CMS, or Quest Jobs in Long Beach and Huntington Beach.

Don't waste your time!
