`Getting the little people out of the way of the “better people“…. something tells me these pretentious losers are going to be the one gotten out of my way, because anyone with a legit claim to a 6 figure salary doesnt need a scam site to get job leads in the first place, they are already being agressively pursued by headhunters and recruiters who are going to get a `cut` for placement from the EMPLOYER.

Anyone who signs up for this junk is almost certainly NOT a 6 figure hire, but a silly self important snob, who cant get a job but is being parted with their money by opportunists, who based their shceme on the “emporers new clothes“.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor’s_New_Clothes

“This cloth, they tell him, is invisible to anyone who was either stupid or not fit for his position. The Emperor is nervous about not being able to see the cloth himself so he sends his ministers to view it. They see nothing yet praise the cloth. When the swindlers report a suit of clothes has been fashioned, the Emperor allows himself to be dressed in their creation for a procession through town. During the course of the procession, a small child cries out, “But he has nothing on!” The crowd realizes the child is telling the truth and begins laughing. The Emperor, however, holds his head high and continues the procession.“

Go to 6figurejobs… way better and open & honest…

I did recently meet with a recruiter, a real human being, in an actual office, who looked at my resume, had me alter a couple of things and didn’t charge me a dime. With her advice, I now have a posted on-line portfolio and a strong resume that should work fine in my industry, anywhere in the country.

Marc Cendella, please quit pontificating or your little blog from whatever little getaway spot you’re at on a Sunday afternoon, because I’m sick of hearing how great your life is because you bring dream jobs to so many people. You are no better than some of the flim-flamming, no talent corporate career climbers I have met and worked with over the years.

I enjoyed reading the comments by those that are active in the recruiting industry but would also like to have some input from those that have had success in using “TheLadders”, et al.

It is my opinion that the best advertising is a good reference or multiple references from those that have had success from their association with an individual or a business operation like TheLadders.

BTW - The free sites should earn a lot of money to augment their earnings and profits if the advertising appearing on their webpages is effective and results in many click-throughs. It is likely that the original product or service advertiser, or the agency that placed the advertising, are the real decisions makers as to the sites in which they participate. If they are not financially rewarded for their efforts, they will either cease doing business or convert to another model.

Regards,

Which made me think…I have paid in full for the Premium service, which is supposed to garner A-team job postings. I also took advantage of the FREE resume service, twice. The first time, I sent in my circa 1990’s resume, got advice the first time, then six months later, upgraded my service to Premium and sent the resume back in, corrected. That’s when I go a nice note from Michele Goitiandia, Executive Resume Analyst of GETINTERVIEWS.COM (which I guess is part of the TheLadders Resume Team, chastising me for not having looked hard enough for a position, and still trying to charge me $695 to redo a resume I had just redone myself based on their last batch of suggestions. Oh, Michelle did offer to throw in the cover letter for no additional charge. $695 for both. Ahem, but isn’t that a bit steep? Then I got another note from them stating that the offer was being revised, along with the following admonition: “Avoid further delay. Job prospects are not improving with the current state of the economy.”

My analysis of all this is that I think Ladder.com is making a lot of money on getting people to pay to see listings that don’t exist in reality, while constantly sending the message that if you haven’t gotten a nibble, then maybe your resume is not-so-good. The scare tactics are supposed to inspire you to act with great haste to use their service. Personally, I think my resume will stand up to anyone’s with my credentials, so, no thanks to Michelle. I figure I threw away my money on the membership, but at least I can safely say that I have not spent almost $700 on a new resume.

A final note, google TheLadders, and you will see that they have paid to have themselves show up for over two pages before you find sites like this one with people offering critiques on them. Hmmm.

If you are not happy about being poor or unemployed or dont make $100k and you make a gripe about it, the Government will think you un American for not being a Team Player and then spy on you. They will then find you with your GPS imbededed Cellphone, and arrest you and then more than willing to lock you up if you dont like it being poor or unemployed….and this will create more $100k jobs for Marc to advertise as they will need more prisons, courts, lawyers and judges, FBI, NSA and police to lock all the poor people like you that complain! …YAY… so be happy that jobs are created by being poor and that Marc is doing his part as an Americanin ensuring that $100k jobs are created

Its about it what were are supposed to do shut up and be poor and be happy or get tiwth the Team and tuen in yuor neoghbors for anything you find on them!…..the American way is to screw the everyone, and the poor ae easy targets, and now the middle class..so get with the Team, be a paid snitch, become a cop or lawyer or shut up like be happy ilke me, or go to jail …you can always kill yorself or go rob a bank, whuch of course… creates more $100k jobs for Marc!…..

if you have a job now Be Happy that your boss can turn your brains into an emotional mess everyday for less than last year! His boss does the same thing to him..Corporate & Government trickle down theory……to screw everyone, create more poor people and keep all the profits…… a never ending cycle of poor people is great for the country.!!!! being poor is a true Patriot…take one for the Team, go ahead and complain….

Now go get your kids piggy jar and send Marc & The Ladders your money for $100k jobs and find out that you probably don’t qualify for them and never will. They need the money to fill up their Hummers and Mercedes,, buy a new corporate tax free yacht every year and then go fishing and golfing in Los Cabos or Maui YAY!

I am happy for them, aren’t you!!!! you are un American if you are not! II have learned to be happy being poor
