She found my resume on an Internet job search engine and contacted me saying she could help me find a great job in the Chicago area. At that time I was in deep financial trouble and a single mother of two young girls.

This woman invited me to her office in Schaumburg on a Saturday morning. I went with my youngest daughter and she did not let us leave until I signed a long agreement for $3,000 dollars.

She repeatedly said she will get you through the back door for interviews. That Saturday morning, I gave her $500 dollars as an initial payment. She did a resume makeup and sent me a huge package of standard letters samples and other job search information. Nothing I could not find by my self on the Internet.

Every time I called her to follow-up on her promises she will ask me for more money, until I gave her half of the total amount she demanded in her contract.

Atherton Consulting never sent me a single lead, never gave me personal assistance on my search, never advise a job campaign. In other words never did anything except for rewriting my resume and putting up excuses.
