There is a resumé writing service that has a big presence on LinkedIn. They launched a new program last year to help job seekers. It's a total rip off. See the screenshots from their LinkedIn page and from the BBB and TrustPilot. I tried to get a refund after getting a new "professionally" written resumé and rebuilt LinkedIn profile, assigned a coach and then.....CRICKETS.
