The following is strickly my opinion.
I wish to thank those of you who have posted here opinions regarding Bernard Haldane Associates.
I too was contacted after my Resume posted on one of the job websites, "attracted their interest".
I attended the first meeting with a VP, in one of their banches in Texas.
After attending the consultation and being "set up" to bring my wife with me to the next scheduled in a couple of days, I came away with the feeling that I was being about to have my wallet "lighten up" surgically.
The thing that keyed me, is that this company is not all that it appears to be. Their presentation is smooth, they dress the sucess look and they tell you everything you want to hear.
That's when I realized that the person I met with was just like a former boss. He was all about presentation and but his depth was about 1/4" deep. Red Flags went up...
One of the main keys to their presentation is to get you to bring your spouse to a second consultation with you, so they get them "on board" with your program. This may serve to limit their liability. This "smelled" to me to be similar to the condo timeshare sales pitches that I'm always getting, stating that I won a new car, and all I have to do is come watch a presentation about the development and claim my prize-that never seems to materialize for some reason-and be sure that you bring the spouse, otherwise you can't claim the prize, that your not going to get anyway.
So words to the wise, dance around these people carefully, if you feel they have what you need and you are willing to cash in your gold to have them help you, knock youself out and good luck, but you can bet that I'm not wasting anymore time on them.
