Do not trust Did not provide any of the services I was supposed to get. Neil said his placement success was 96%, so I could be one of the unlucky 4%; however I got 4 positions on my own with my resume. He provided countless excuses to defer accountability and never met deadlines. Even the resume he rewrote for me was a literal copy paste with a new format.

DO NOT USE NEIL, WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY DO NOT USE NEIL. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND IS A COMPLETE SCAM. I signed up for Neil's most expensive package which at the time was $6,000. What I needed most out of the package, which Neil made very clear to me he would focus strongly on, was the job search, connecting me to hiring managers, and using his "connections" to help me network and get interviews. First we worked on Linkedin/resume/elevator pitch etc. which was also USELESS. Complete waste of time. He did not provide ANY knowledge that wasn't common sense. I had worked with career coaches before and I was SHOCKED about how useless his information was. Then, we got to the point of the "course" to start doing the job hunt and using his "connections". For the job search we used a platform called Hunter just to keep track of jobs applied to and the progress of each application, where Neil said he would upload many jobs with use of his connections, while I also would upload and apply to my own jobs of course. I would apply to many jobs a week, and upload them to our job tracker, and he never had any input, never had a single connection at any company, which he claimed he would. In the months we worked together, Neil NEVER uploaded a single job, and never provided me with a single connection at a company. When I called him out about his absence of work and how I was basically paying $6,000 to do my own job search as I normally would do for free, and him not following through on what the $6,000 service I paid for offered and he personally promised me, he actually apologized and admitted he had not been doing his job, and promised he would do a better job, and that he would start uploading jobs and providing me all these connections. He never did. He then uploaded 1 SINGLE job for me to apply to, which was completely out of my league, out of my field, and made zero sense for me, and literally just looked like he found the first job on LinkedIn and uploaded it. I then called him out again, very frustrated that I paid $6,000 to just do my own job search and find my own connections, which I already do on my own for free, he agreed again he had not been doing his job, agreed to void all remaining payments I owed on the $6,000 because it was EXTREMELY CLEAR he had done NOTHING, and he got CAUGHT. After that, I just stopped talking to him. I made it VERY clear to him from the beginning that the reason I am signing up for this expensive $6,000 service is because I need his help with job search, networking, and connections. HE DID NONE OF THAT. I FEEL COMPLETELY SCAMMED. HE DID NOTHING. In the nearly 8 months we worked together, I never received 1 interview, 1 phone screen, 1 phone call, or 1 connection with Neils's assistance. DO NOT USE HIM. SCAM DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. DO NOT USE HIM. SCAM

Career Upgrader has been awesome! I reached out for a resume review on LinkedIn which is how I met Neil. My position had just been eliminated at my company and I felt it was about time to get someone to evaluate my resume. Neil reached out to me, I could not be more pleased with him! He has been a sounding board, a mentor, a career coach, and a million other things to me over the past six weeks. His recommendations are insightful and extremely helpful. We have worked together to ensure that I am getting what I want out of this partnership in my career. You only get out of something what you put into it. I have read the other reviews and I have not found them to be true at all. Neil has been incredible to me through one of the most difficult times I have faced so far and I cannot say thank you enough!

I really wanted to like Career Upgrader… I really wanted to like Career Upgrader and Neil's service. However, there were far too many areas that fell flat - especially for the higher-than-average cost I paid. 1. I did not ever fully receive the active job placement service as promised and paid for. At the beginning, this wasn't 100% Neil's fault as it seemed he had a troublesome employee. After said employee was let go, Neil promised me that I would receive this service, however I was still never sent any leads as was promised. 2. Communication was very clunky. I purchased 4 coaching sessions total - and I had to proactively reach out to Neil to ask what the next steps were each time. A little bit more direction and guidance would have been very much appreciated. 3. The process was very unclear. Specifically with the active job placement, I had to ask several times what is happening, and what is supposed to be happening. The process wasn't explained to me until I asked. And by the time we discovered that Neil's recruiter was not working on the job placement service for me, it had already been over 4 weeks. In the world we live in now where the job market is so tight and competitive, timing and speed is crucial. So this delay was totally unacceptable. 4. I had one un-used coaching session, and had no plan on using it because I've been so disappointed with this service. I asked for a refund, to which Neil replied that all sales are final. I understand that each business has the right to their own refund policy, but as a customer that paid several thousands of dollars for services that were not received and underperformed, I really wish that Neil would have provided some sort of recourse. --- I highly encourage anyone who is considering hiring a "professional" career coaching and job hunting service to consider the level of professionalism (or lack thereof) from this experience.
