CareerExcuse

Internet's Most Trusted Job Reference Service Since 2009!
I myself signed on after a 15-year stint as a mortgage loan underwriter and a nasty divorce because I believed in the company's mission.

Most of our clients are people who are either trying to cover up huge résumé gaps or who've had too many short-term employers and are trying to fake stability.

"Our main clientele right now is IT executives, and they're pretty high-level," citing 6-figure salaries. The average customer, I would say, is looking for something in the $60,000 to $80,000 range.

Since we've started this company we have landed 1000s of members full-term steady employment, "As a matter of fact, I landed 5 people a job this week! And its only Tuesday!

Our current client database has more than 2,000 names of people trying to fake their previous employment. Most of which are clients whom "life has just been completely cruel."

In my mind, CareerExcuse is less a fraud than a for-profit lifeline."There are many things that happen in people's lives, with [employers] going out of business, being laid off, managers just unrightfully firing you, sexual harassment suits — you name it, it happens in the workforce."

We make it very clear that CareerExcuse can't compensate for lack of talent, and if you couldn't actually do the job you're trying to get, you'd be wasting your money to enlist our services. But if you do have the experience and skills to complete the job, "then I don't see why you shouldn't deserve a shot, just like the next person."

I guess I see it as a warped kind of vigilante justice. Lol... "Without our services," there are deserving people "who might not be able to get a second chance." The people we work with "work just as hard" as people that have developed real reference networks. However, there are lines we won't cross. We will not take on clients looking for work in government, medicine, childcare, or law enforcement — nothing where your employment would "put other people in danger." should you not actually have the skill.

I always discourage people just out of college from signing up for our service. "You don't want to start off this way,". "Go get a realistic experience, and then stay with it." Should life throw a curveball your way Then, we will be happy to help. I also won't take people that I get a bad feeling about, or if I sense their "services are being used for anything other than an honest second chance."

CareerExcuse may not always be the best answer, but the problem we are trying to address is a real one, and for me, the ends justify the means. "It does make me feel good about myself to be able to help [people get jobs], whether I have to make a phone call and act like someone else and lie to help them do it."
