MCKENZIE SCOTT WARNS JOB SEEKERS ABOUT 'NO-DISCLOSURE CAREER FIRMS'

DENVER, CO - May 9, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Jan Pierce, Senior Vice President for McKenzie Scott today warned job seekers to beware of "no-disclosure firms." "The McKenzie Scott contract is full disclosure," Pierce said, "in which we specify every service we will provide. It's available publicly on our website and can be downloaded at any time.

"Every prospective client must read the McKenzie Scott disclosure booklet, our Q&A that answers over 60 questions about what we do and do not provide, and they must fill out a Client Expectation Form, telling us precisely what they expect us to do for them, before we will accept them as a client."

Pierce voiced concern about firms that do not disclose exactly what they do, and leave open the possibility that people will assume they do a lot more. "It takes only a few of these 'ripoff firms' to besmirch the reputation of an entire industry," she said. Well over 90% of the firms are careful to make clear what they do. The solid counseling firms, who provide only coaching and mentoring, and critique a resume that the client writes, will make clear the limits of what they do.

"It's the few firms who mislead people that can hurt job seekers and the industry alike. If you're looking for a job and exploring professional services to help you, make sure you get full disclosure, ask a lot of questions, and understand precisely what their written agreement says. Don't sign anything based on verbal promises or implications. Get it in writing!"
