Showerthought: I paid $200 for a "career coach" who just read my resume out loud to me
Six months ago I was trying to get out of retail and into an office job, so I found this guy on a job board who charged $200 for a two hour session over Zoom in San Jose. He looked at my resume, read it back to me word for word, and told me to "use more action words" before the time was up, and when I asked for a refund he sent me a link to his podcast instead. Did anyone else get burned by a so-called coach before they switched fields, or am I the only one who learned this the hard way?
