For the past couple of years Mike Podesto of Find My Profession has been diverting traffic from hundreds of resume writers and using false claims along with fake reviews to drive consumers to his company website while diverting them from legitimate established companies.
He is currently being sued by Wendi Weiner of the Writing Guru for libel, defamation, deceptive or unfair conduct and material misrepresentation. https://writingguru.net/wendi-weiner-reviews-the-writing-guru-fights-fake-reviews/ He has also attacked multiple established writers with fake 1 star reviews while using those same fake reviewers to give himself 5 star reviews. To this end he has posted and continues to post fake reviews on TrustPilot, Jabbersite, Google, Yelp and Facebook. In a number of instances these reviews have been submitted under or by existing employees, friends and family members who make it appear that they are customers of the company when in fact they are nothing of the sort.
In addition he has attempted to destroy the reputation of other competitive companies in North America and internationally by creating and posting false lists of these companies on his website, outlining their pros and cons without ever having done business with them, using their company images or website links without authorization, besmirching their reputations and claiming his company as the Best XXXX in each category.
Previously, prior to be censured by the BBB, he was claiming his company as the #1 XXXX in each category with no justification or third party backing for this. Following his censure by BBB he stopped referring to his company as #1 and began posting a notice on each page that the reviews he wrote were written by an employee of the company (aka himself) and that they were somewhat biased (a complete understatement).
A number of established companies and consumers have already been harmed financially or emotionally by his behaviour which is both predatory and psychotic in nature. Numerous impacted companies have requested he remove their company name from his fake lists which he has all but ignored or worse yet started mocking them by writing demeaning articles about them and posting them on his website which then gets ranked at the top on Google https://www.findmyprofession.com/career-advice/avidcareerist-donna-svei-executive-resume-writer-review, https://www.findmyprofession.com/career-advice/donna-svei-avid-careerist-internet-troll, .https://www.findmyprofession.com/career-advice/chameleon-resumes-lisa-rangel-executive-resume-writer-review, https://www.findmyprofession.com/career-advice/the-writing-guru-wendi-weiner-executive-resume-writer-review
Some of these companies have been forced to write counter articles on their own website after he has refused their requests, diverted business and directly attacked them through fake reviews or threats of harm to their businesses https://www.fivestrengths.com/2019/01/21/5-best-resume-services-in-salt-lake-city-ut/ , https://avidcareerist.com/avidcareerist-donna-svei-executive-resume-writer-review/, https://writingguru.net/wendi-weiner-counternotice-mike-podesto-fake-reviews/
In addition to all this he continues his geographic slog by calling himself the best of each category in multiple countries where he has never had customers nor has he any way to verify these claims. BBB has since updated their report on him to reflect his compliance with their requests but this has in no way stopped this behaviour of making false claims, creating fake lists and attacking other writers with whom he has never done business.
There is a plethora of information on the Internet in which Mike Podesto of Find My Profession has slandered his competition and outright lied about his qualifications and those of his company. There are lawsuits, BBB compliants, and complaints with the PARW/CC -
the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches - regarding Podesto's illegal, fallacious, and criminal misconduct to slander his competitors, all while charging $10,000 and up for career document services, a ridiculous amount for what he provides. Just google "complaints against Mike Podesto" and you will find loads of information about his deceptive practices, and problems with the products and service he provides his clients.
As the links and points below will show Mike Podesto the Founder and CEO of Find My Profession is guilty of many of the things including:
1) Harassing competitors in order to harm their business and divert traffic to my own company through the use of paid backlinks, false and/or misleading reviews and numerous other Blackhat SEO tricks which he used in order to game Googles algorithms.
2) Leaving fake 1 star reviews on competitors and placing fake 5 star or conflict of interest reviews on multiple review sites (including his own website) in order to make it appear that I have more positive reviews and experience than my competitors (having only been in business less than four years).
3) Carrying out illegal and even criminal activities including hijacking traffic from hundreds of competitors around the world by using the good names of established companies and their copyright or website images on his website in order to boost rankings on Google.
4) Using vulgar language with respect to certain competitors and writing deragatory articles on other competitors in order to damage their businesses and reputations. These include ones listed in the links below as well as others which are no longer available online or have been removed by various ISPs.
5) Berating customers and sending them inappropriate emails or messages when they complain about the quality, delivery of my services or guarantees (see Sitejabber and BBB reviews and complaints).
6) Lying about or embellishing his qualifications and using fake personas in order to make it appear that he has experience which he does not; in addition to ranking himself first on lists of articles which he wrote and posted to his website outlining the pros and cons of competitors he has never done business with.
7) Using contractors (which I refer to loosely as employees) to build business, as he does not have the necessary depth or breadth of experience to do the work himself, and failing to disclose to new customers that he is in fact using contractors or outsourcing their resumes and job searches to individuals whose qualifications are not properly disclosed prior to customers paying for services.
8) Shaming the entire industry with his egregious and outrageous activities including but not limited to fabricating lies about competitors, creating fake top 5 and top 10 lists which place his company at #1 every time, tricking competitors into placing fake awards that contain hidden code on their sites (which have been issued by himself and have zero external backing or credibility), falsifying information on his website, creating libelous websites in order to harm the businesses of his competitors and uploading or installing (through trickery) malicious malware tracking software on competitors computers which then give him access to their confidential emails and/or files.
As the links below will clearly show Mike Podesto has a long history of improper and illegal behaviour reaching as far back to his days in university when he had his own little grow-op (he has since given up the weed and turned over a new leaf; one which is much more profitable). He is currently being sued in federal court for illegal actions against one of his competitors Wendi Weiner of the Writing Guru. You can find most of the links below by typing in a combination of Mike Podesto, Complaints, Find My Profession Reviews, Find My Profession.com Reviews or Find My Profession, Employee Reviews.
Find My Profession did not deliver viable resume service and did not respond timely to concerns with draft. In the end viable resume was not created nor received within the 3-5 business day model they advertise. When escalated and later disputed the service stated the entire service is non-refundable even when they can't complete service in advertised time frame. The service states you will have resume in 3-5 days and should read you will have a poor quality skeleton draft in 3-5 days. Initially when seeking the service I was excited to see the quick turnaround only to be left with missed career opportunities and poor resume draft. The kicker in this "service" is that I was organized and provided prior resume, job descriptions, and annual reviews and still got a skeleton draft and $800 bill. Extremely disappointed in the service, there are multiple issue here: advertising, poor advertising specific to refund policy clearly stated on site vs. "fine print buried in contract", and service delivery being at the top. Quality was sub par, I don't mind paying for quality!
