I lost my job in March and by May, I was feeling pretty low about not working. I found the ad for Bernard Haldane in the Providence Journal, claiming they can help find a job.
I went in to meet with them, to check their services out. A "Senior" person there met with me, Bill Weidermeyer, and literally wowed my for 2 hours, raising my spirits and encouraging me to let them help me.
In the midst of it all, after wowing me for quite some time, he mentioned the fee, he said "forty nine ninety nine. Being a bit naive, I actually thought he meant forty nine dollars... He didn't. He meant forty nine hundred... I really had no time to think and say no way, feeling encouraged and having faith that they could help, I gave them my credit card. Yes, I was wrong.
They have helped me re-write my resume, information I have also found in a job seeking book, that is all. They have never provided me with leads for any jobs and the site they gave me access to has never given me leads either, in fact, it is quite outdated.
I do feel I was misled and ripped off from Bernard Haldane... And although I also feel responsible and know I am, I also feel they wrongly promised help in finding a position and used coercion in convincing me to sign up for their services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
