CareerExcuseReviews 88

I lost out on an 80k a year job because of bad references. Repeated promises and reassurances were made and never kept. I wasted months and hundreds of dollars I'll never get back. Avoid CareerExcuse at all costs.

I've been using careerexcuse.com for some time now, skeptical at first, but Jennifer and Amey made me feel right at home. They treated me with respect and answered all my questions with utmost care and priority. When it comes time to the background check, theyre on top of their phone lines. Easy to contact, and trusted company. I would recommend them to anyone.

They made promises for job references, put an urgency to get your money, once they got it, they ignored emails, and text messages. When you persist, if they respond (Amey) they will attack/call you annoying and accuse you of not paying even when I sent copies of my receipt and the email sent to them requesting references. I've obtained a job without their help, but just beware-it's pretty shady operation. Luckily, it as a lesson to me. Don't let them take your money, they are not providing the services they promise or advertise. I'm in the process of reporting them to other venues also.

If you need something like this, this one is really good. There were no issues what so ever, pricing was fair, customer service was very friendly, and everything was taken care of quickly. I have never been charged anything other than the fee we agreed on. I would recommend them.

They took $250 from me and provided no service and no refund. I cash app Jack Staten for my payment. This is due to the fact I worked with them in the past and thought I could trust them. I spoke to Jennifer who sounded very intoxicated. She promised a refund but it never happened and she no longer answers the phone.
I can't lay out all of the details due to agreements with my legal team but this company will be under investigation very soon. The owners have willfully created fraud on a federal level. I encourage others to report incidents of giving money without receipt of services to contact the Federal Trade Commission.

I think at one time this company actually delivered services. That time is not now. I initially started working with Amey. I sent the money and no website. Their reference doesn't work and I lost my money. $250. I called Jennifer and she seriously sounded like she was indulging her drug of choice. I didn't give my money to support someone's habit. I could easily go to a seedy gas station and give out money if I wanted to do that. Jennifer says she's the owner but she did nothing to furnish my service and I did NOT get the job from a very excited prospective employer. DO NOT USE. You're better off paying asking trusted friends to vouch for you. These two are worthless and will actually meds up your career.

It's not much fun to admit to being scammed - but sometimes your life can only serve a warning to others. CareerExcuse.com has been around for 12 years and seems to have some credibility in the reference for hire market. Unfortunately, past performance is not an indicator of future results. My experience, after paying out $200 to CareerExcuse.com, is, FORTUNATELY, no results. I say "fortunately" because each time I spoke with Jennifer Hatton, "senior partner at careerexcuse.com", she was slurring her rabbling words while insisting I listen, yet again, to... I don't even know what she was saying but If you have ever ended up sitting next to the drunkest person at the party, then you have heard Jennifer's story.

The websites used by CareerExcuse.com, as well as their wildapricot portal, are hallow marketing ploys. After wasting a few days of my time promising a professional, well supported reference, Jennifer offered to "sort everything out by text" - but she was just too busy to actually do it on that day, or the next... - not that I would ever want Jennifer to speak with a prospective employer.

As far as I can tell, the service consists of Amey and Jennifer personally fielding a call from your prospective employer and reading off some boilerplate reference. CareerExcuse.com is a drunken mess that will beat you out of 200 bucks, waste your time and make you a sucker!

Amey lytle saved my home my marriage and my well being as a whole. She helped gain and maintain employment to save my home for my children and keep my family together. I will forever have her in my thoughts prayers. Thank you girl!

Careerexcuse.com has been a life saver for me. Having career gaps in my resume was a major hindrance to finding reemployment. Careerexcuse helped level the playing field and provided me with amazing customer service and support all through reemployment processes.

This company is a SCAM, I paid my money and my potential employer reached out to then and was not able to get through! They do not provide references! They take your money and run! Please save yourself! I paid my money and got NO SERVICE!

Where to begin with this "company"… they claim to be able to return your request within 72 hours for an expedited fee. Won't happen. They claim to "give you their word" that they'll have references for you. Again, won't happen. They'll come up with every excuse in the book about being busy and will get back to you, still won't happen. It'll come down to the eleventh hour and people calling your references you paid a hefty sum for. Will they answer the phone? Nope, won't happen. Don't waste your money or aggravation with these two people.

CareerExcuse have changed my life so dramatically, from being poor to financially stable. Words alone can not express my appreciation. I am so grateful and appreciative.

I decided to use Career Excuse after having a small gap in my employment history. They proved to be excellent and I was able to land my past dream job. The service is professional and I never had to worry that I was going to be presented in a wrong way. Thank you!

I was a little desperate and I tried it. I was surprised that there was such an attention to detail. Amey helped me out with all my questions and profiles and I had a peace of mind. Great for somebody starting out!

I have used this company multiple times the last few years and they have not let me down. Solid websites as well as good references. Amey/Jennifer are always responsive and will answer any questions you have during the process. I would highly recommend using their services,

I would have given zero stars had that been an option. CareerExcuse's sole objective is to lie really really well. So I wasn't all that surprised to see that they lied to the consumers too. They provided me with 2 fake job references fairly quickly. The fake companies even had a website so it looked pretty legit. I was impressed... at first. But then I started getting calls and emails from perspective employers who were attempting to contact my fake references and were unable to reach anyone despite leaving multiple messages. I spoke with the public relations specialist, Jennifer Hatton, who assured me that she would resolve the issue. Clearly she didn't because NOT A SINGLE inquiry was successful in obtaining a job reference for me. NOT 1 SINGLE perspective employer out of probably 10 or 15 different companies. I ended up using friends for references. Jennifer Hatton, the public relations "specialist" dropped off the face of the earth with no explanation. I paid approx $290 for absolutely nothing. I attempted to get a refund however I couldn't reach a single person at the company ever again. I gave up trying after a few weeks of intermittent calls, texts and emails went ignored. I was skeptical at first but they were so attentive prior to receiving my payment that I went against my gut feeling. I guess that's my bad for believing that a company based in deception would themselves be honest.

For anyone with gaps in their work history due to the ubiquitous "fly by night" startups that pop into and out of existence, this is a lifesaver. Would highly recommend as it's easier and cheaper than hunting down AWOL managers and CEOs who have no interest or intentions of validating your work history. Lost several positions due to lack of response from former colleagues. This service is a necessity when up against the clock and your contacts from work six years ago are MIA. Highly recommend and appreciate the attention to detail

Very prompt & professional service, staff was friendly & helpful. I definitely recommend! Worked as advertised, monthly plan being renewed.
