Spent $600 on a career coach and got burned

Paid $600 to a guy named Mark from Career Elevate. First session was fine. Second session he just read off a PowerPoint about LinkedIn. No real advice. I could've spent that on a certification that actually helps. Anyone else get scammed by one of these coaches?

Man I feel your pain. I once paid a guy $400 to teach me how to "network better" and he just told me to smile more. Real bang for my buck there.

My buddy Chris dropped $500 on a guy named "Career Coach Carl" and got a binder full of printouts from Google. The guy spent two whole sessions telling him to change his resume font. @miles277 at least you got bad advice in person, Chris got a stack of paper that looked like it came from a middle school printer.

Lol the "middle school printer" line got me. I lucked out and found a guy on Fiverr who actually helped me fix my resume for like 50 bucks. Sometimes the cheap route works better.
