I was taken for a sizable chunk of change by a "career counseling" firm. Often times these firms represent themselves as recruiters. Unlike recruiters, they charge the job seeker a fee. They promise to provide you with access to contacts/the "hidden" job market and usually bundle things such as resume re-writes and "career marketing plans."

I recommend strong caution before you ever pay someone to assist you in your job search. For more information see: Jobscams.com

My site Jobscams contains information about some of the same companies (i.e. Geneva Search Consultants and Wellington Burke) as the execcareer.com site.

I speak from personal experience when I tell you that these guys are using every trick up their sleeves to try and silence consumer advocates. Wellington Burke has filed suit against me and recently contacted my ISP trying to get my service disconnected (I host my own site). Fortunately, my ISP (DSLextreme.com) after reviewing the contents of my site told them that nothing there violated their TOS and told them to go to hell.

It's amazing that your site can be featured in national news organization's reports (i.e. CBS national news, NY Times, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, etc), but that so many of these ISPs will shut you down in a second as soon as they receive a threatening letter.
