I was reading the other reports about this agency and I recalled my experience with them in 2000. I also filled out their online form (lure) describing my disappointment with the job scene. Here is an excerpt of my email to friends about the experience:
I dressed up for the Haldane interview but it turned out to be a cheesy leech agency. I waited 30 minutes filling out a simple form/application (that is geared towards getting you to think that your interview/resume/etc needs work). I talked to the receptionist for a while and I noticed a guy walk out and then back in. The receptionist apologized and said that the guy was busy with someone else and had been running late because of a late interview after lunch. Yeah right. I could hear another guy in one of the offices with a lady so I assumed I was waiting for him. Yeah right. The original guy I had seen walk out and back in finally came and escorted me back to his office. Gee, where
was the interviewee before me?
I got to the interview and this guy is selling me on his inside contacts. After playing the game for a while and sounding each other out, I finally got the sales pitch/negative response. It was like, "hey kid come back when ya' got some cash for me." One positive part of this experience. The hour cost me less than it did him. But then again, I am sure he was quite comfortable sitting in his suit in that fancy nice glass building looking out towards the other buildings and the court yard. Remember: used car salesmen wear suits, too. All that glitters isn't gold — but it sure must be nice.
So, as you can see, reading these other complaints about Bernard Haldane are like deja vu all over again for me.
