AMERICAN CAREERS RIP -OFF BALTIMORE, Maryland

I see a lot of negative comments on here about a company that helped me to find employment.  I guess most would say why are you on here if you have a job or truly found work with the help of this company.  Basically, because I was one of the suspicious ones.  I thought how can a company actually help me to find work.  I didn't send in a money order or anything to the company at first.  I sent in my resume and wanted to see what the company would do.  They sent me back an email stating that there was a $39.00 charge for the services, they also told me that there was a # that I could call if I had any questions.   I called the # and spoke with a guy named Kevin.  He told if I mailed in the payment that I would receive an email within a week with my applicant id# on it...and that I should read through the information that was provided to me.  After that I was contacted by a career counselor.  (Kevin, he was my career counselor).  He went over airlines that were hiring and what I should do in an interview.  I am very impressed with the amount of help that I got for the $39.00 fee.  Yes, it is information that you can find on your own.  But, you have the time and know where to look to find the information.  You also cant get the personalized help that I was given on how to interview and what to expect when going to the interview.  I am very impressed with the help that I received.

...you are charging money for information that is abundantly found for free all over the internet!!! Well done! <insert sarcasm>

OK folks, please let me try to shed a little light on this thread.

First off, my name is Yvonne Foxworth. I'm a Career Counselor at American Careers (NYC offices). 
For the doubters out there, I must say sorry for any confusion or misconceptions about us, but we certainly are NOT a scam. I've been here for 6 yrs. Indeed, I'm very happy with the results I have personally obtained from the many Applicants I've assisted to gain employment at various airports/airlines across the USA. Success stories with many different types of Positions, at varying pay rates, anywhere from $14 to $22 / hour. 
 
Regarding our Service, we simply assist Applicants obtain employment through the information that we email/mail them to get them started with the Application Process. We then follow up with phone support via our Career Counselors to assist them in every aspect of the Application Process (Application, Resume, Cover Letters, Thank You Letters, Interviewing Techniques, etc) through our Airline Career Development Guide & our Airline Hiring Update, which includes current listings of Airline Positions & descriptions which the Applicant may then apply for at various Airlines. We will attempt to obtain as many interviews for the Applicant as we possibly can. The $39 one-time fee we charge is refundable in the event we are unable to obtain employment for the Applicant.  Details are included in the paperwork the Applicant receives.  This is a vast amount of information & assistance which could potentially require many hours to perform individually. This Service will soon be available to Applicants via a new website now under construction:

We have many success stories here with regard to Applicants who have taken the time & effort to read / follow the instructions listed in our Program, and have indeed obtained employment at various Airports across the USA. Obtaining employment takes time and effort. If Applicants are not willing to follow instructions or contact us for help, we can't possibly assist in those efforts. I will gladly personally assist anyone out there in their efforts to obtain employment. Please feel free to view our BBB review in MD.


Sincerely,

Yvonne Foxworth
