Threw $300 into a "career coaching" program and got generic PDFs back

I paid this career coach $300 for a package that promised to help me "find my passion" and get out of my dead end admin job. All I got was a bunch of PDFs with basic advice I could have found for free on Google. One said "update your resume." Like wow thanks man I never would have thought of that. They also gave me a list of jobs to apply for but none of them were in my city. I asked for a refund and they said no because I already accessed the materials. Did anyone else get burned by one of these coaching things or is it just me?

Did they actually show you any proof of success stories before you paid?

$300 is honestly cheap for career coaching. I know people who paid $2000+ for basically the same thing. @wood.noah the success stories are always cherry picked. My buddy paid a coach $500 and got a job in 3 weeks. Sometimes you just gotta treat it like paying for the push, not the info. The PDFs are just the starter pack.
