These guys are really pretty good at what they do. I had went for my first interview with them and came home feeling hopeful, because at least someone out there thought that I had some marketable skills that would land me a job. They had set my second interview with my significant other just two days away, and I only had the next day, so there was not a whole lot time I could spend thinking or researching their sales pitch.
My significant other and I rushed ourselves out the door, and did the 2 hour drive over to Bernard Haldane to the second interview with Ted Cambell. He was just as cordial the second time as the first, and I can understand why, he had his fee for services rendered set for $10,525.00 of which I had to pay $5000 up front before they would work with me and get my "guns loaded" for all these interviews I was going to get.
Several things bothered us about the second interview. First off, he had a few books that supposedly had jobs listed that would not be found anywhere else except in these books. He never showed us a single advertisement of the type of jobs he was talking about from the book, so as far as I know, the book could have contained blank pages but I doubt it because when he left the room to allow us to "Talk it over" he made sure he carried those books out of the room with him.
Another thing, Ted told us that "He was not a good salesman, that he could never do a salesman job and snow people over." This I find untrue, because he had both of us going. And we were hyped up all the way home and that night too. Then came the reality the next morning.
The next morning, my significant other hit the Better Business Bureau website to check them out, NOTHING THERE. Makes ya feel good, Right? Wrong!!! We then hit this website, and our balloon went "POP"!!! After finding this website, we found that if the company "buys into" the Better Business Bureau. The bad info on the company does not get out there. Guess this has to be considered a "Lie By Ommision". And so this is what you get by trusting an organization like the BBB when they are evidently into the same tactics as BHA
We also remembered the name of the company that contained these supposed jobs, Sterling Hightower. We researched and found their website.interesting. You could research the objectives of the clients, but when you clicked on the client information, you had to contact Sterling. Only an employment staffing firm can contact Sterling. Now this being the case, it makes me wonder if the staffing firms have to pay a fee to access their database of clients. Sounds like a catch twenty-two to me. Potential employee pays BHA and potential employer pays Sterling.
Thanks Guys, not only am I not going through with this contract, you guys saved me $5000 at the minimum.
