"Because I allude to the wisdom of the man Bernard Haldane in this book, some readers have assumed that this means the agency which bears his name must be recommended by me. Nope. Nada. Never...Bernard gave up ownership of that agency years ago. And, for my part, I have neither gone to that agency (as some of their counselors have claimed) nor recommended them."--Richard Nelson Bolles in "What Color is your Parachute?"

Testimonials about Bernard Haldane:

" I believe that I was sold a bill of goods that was inappropriate for me, at an astronomical price. I believe that Haldane's services were not delivered. I am sure that the conduct of Haldane's representatives ... were substandard, humiliating and pathetic. They are an embarrassment to your organization."

"A couple of years ago I met with a representative from Haldane. It was like meeting with a used car salesman--D.D."

"They imply guaranteed jobs at very high salary. Then refuse to put it in writing. They did not seem to be knowledgeable of the market I am in--J.M.V."

"...with the information they gave me and what they delivered I feel that I have been ripped off...--Skip"

"...they used a real hard sell approach..--J.G."

"I would not recommend Haldane.--A.C."

"I believe Haldane is overpriced for what they purport to do."

"...my experience with them was a ripoff in terms of getting a job.."

"This is supposedly a career counseling firm, but they have done little more than take my money...It is a scam in my opinion!!"

"..it's a scam, they charge you thousands of dollars for information that's either worthless or available on the Internet for free or at much lower cost."

"In my opinion, one could get the same results by buying a $10 book on job searching.--C.R."

"I put in my time, followed their supposed formula for tapping the 'hidden job market' and did not get even one inquiry or interview after 6 MONTHS.--R.R."

"Bait and switch is Haldane business. They advertise all over the place specific jobs available, then when you show up they try to sell you their outplacement service. I was given psychology 101 browbeating. Your resume stinks. You have been out of work too long, and probably unemployable now without Haldane's expert help...I wish they were honest. I have met a number of people who have had the same experience--J.V."

"My gut reaction was 'there is something uncomfortable about this organization'"

"...companies like Bernard Haldane lead you to believe that they have access to confidential information when in fact 99% of what they sell is available at any good library."

"In hindsight...bad decision. Their network is nonexistent... the bottom line is my Visa card has over $4000 still on it from their fee, and I am doing all the work myself. I am dealing with an attorney to see what my options are.--Keith"
