I first ran into the Phoenix Executive Group after I lost my job to off shore outsourcing in 2003. At a job fare, I had the worst misfortune to run into Phoenix Executive Group posing as an employment agency with a big banner advertising Professional and Executive Positions $55,000 - $250,000. I handed in my resume and got a call next day asking me to go in for an interview. The woman claimed PEG wouldn't just take on everybody and they wanted to screen to see if I would qualify for their selective clientele. Off cause, I tried to be qualified and got the interview. The interview was by design misleading and deceptive. The counselor lied through his teeth made and promises that PEG had no intention to deliver. He claimed that PEG had direct contacts with hiring managers and decision makers who send their opening positions to PEG to fill, that PEG had the experts to help me get you that desirable position in the hidden job market. He presented various cases of how PEG placed the client who came to PEG because he was board with his job and kept on turning down offers found by PEG and how one client, who had two offers at the same time, turned down the better offer because he did not want to be associated with certain products. Only after two hours of this kind of wonderful presentation, did he tell me that PEG was not an employment agency and there would be a fee for their service. He claimed that PEG's success rate to place their clients was 95% and he was confident that PEG would find me a good job in two a couple of months. I signed a contract with PEG to help me find a job which would pay $10,000 a year with one time a sign-on bonus of $7,000. The charge for their service was more than $6,000. He claimed that PEG usually finds their client jobs in two or three months. Their clients usually put the charges on the credit card and just pay the monthly minimum. After two or three payments, they would pay off the balance with the sing-on bonus when they got jobs. On my first meeting with my advisor who was supposed to help find me a job, I was asked to sign an evaluation sheet which denied all the wonderful claims from the first two meetings, the claim for which the client sign and paid thousands of dollars. It even states that PEG would not even guarantee to provide any leads. I would not sign it and tried to back out of the deal but was told that I had signed the contract and couldn't. The service from PEG was completely a waste of time. The advisor's work was full of errors. We spent almost all the time going through the 107 trick questions for interview and little time on looking for a job. PEG never provided any leads say nothing about an interview or offer. I never got any reply from the resume mailing PEG claimed to have sent out for me. After five month, PEG stopped the weekly meeting.
You found this page. Most likely, you want to find some info on Phoenix Executive Group. Probably you just had your interview with PEG and want to find out if the wonderful stuff the PEG counselor presented is going to be true. Well you are much luckier than me. I did not find anything on PEG through Google.com before I signed up with PEG. I have read all the posting on PEG on this site. I basically have gone through every bit of it. Many people would say this is the only one or two case. If you have interview with PEG and trying to find the truth, you must go to the PEG User Group on Yahoo and see what the PEG clients say about the service they are receiving from PEG. This is a site set up by the client of PEG to share their experience. Many got scammed and lost their last savings. DO NOT make sign up until you see what the current PEG clients say about PEG.
