Executive Options contacted me indicating they have excellent results marketing executives. They even gave me a few names of satisfied customers to contact. I then had a conversation with Howard Nestler, the president who spins a great story. After agreeing to pay $4,900 he has several phone conversations with the candidate and has paid independent consultants work up a profile.By the way, after I started the process I was still called numerous times by solicitors for Executive Options trying to sign me up.
This is a resume focused on accomplishments and every recruiter I have sent it to has asked for a conventional resume. Executive options then e-mails the profile to thousand of e-mail addresses. After four or five of these mailings over about six months I have not generated even one interview. They keep telling me I am the only one with such results but that is a line of BS. Search them online and see - here is an example: http://www.cenedella.com/stone/archives/01/resume_spamming.html
The only calls I received as a result of their efforts were a few recruiters calling to ask how they can get off Howard's mailing list and a few expressing hope that I didn't get ripped off as my background had absolutely nothing to do with their business.
$4,900 and all they did was repeatedly send the same profile to the same people who had no interest in it. This is an absolute rip off. Save yourself the trouble and just flush your money down the toilet.
