I am sad to say that I spent money on their resume writing service thinking it to be affordable. I have yet to receive my resume and it has been about a week. Reading through this blog has me greatly disheartened. At most, I am hoping to receive a rewritten resume to post on Careerbuilder.com and Monster.com.

Thank you everyone. You all saved me alot of time and hardship. The first job I applied to I recieved an email from a HR representative Jeni Sims stating the job was filled. Now all I receive is emails from them wanting me to pay them to critique my resume. I questioned if I should move futher with this company, but after reading all your post I know to stay far away from JOBFOX!! Thank you all again .

I read this posting to late. They posted a job that was a good fit. I jumped through all of their hoops spending a lot of time filling out their application to find that the job bogus.

Do you think that Rob pocketed $300 Million in the deal? Think again. After all of the VC is paid back, bank loans, taxes, etc he probably only pocketed a small bit of that. The peeps at Careerbuilder, when it was sold, weren’t given a golden parachute. For some reason everyone thinks they did.

Are you a lackey for Jobfox?

Former Fox, suck it up, you just have post-tramuatic stress from him firing you. Needless to say, selling a company for 300 million dollars registers as an accomplishment in my book. You probably make 70k a year. Grow a pair, reTARD

I just published a blog on Jobfox based on a quick test drive I did. Many of you have had first hand experience with Jobfox and I would appreciate your comments. My blog is at http://blog.careerxl.com/

Frankly I had high hopes for Jobfox based on the company’s stated goals and vision, from your comments it looks like they are coming up short and have strayed from that vision.

Everyone here is correct. I worked there and at first, I really loved the place. However, it was run by a complete group of tards, from Peggy P, the head of sales, to Steven Toole, the name should tell you all (however, the best was his email stoole@jobfox.com, stool, casuse he is pure crap).

The concept worked, but it needed to be refined and kept to a smaller group of groups, instead of being everything for everyone. The problem is the chief tard, Rob McGovern, might be the worst CEO to date (except for the crooks from the banks). He believes he is God’s gift for everything and that he knows more than you. He can not get through a speech without saying Umm, on average 126 times in a 10 min talk. With him, lighting did not and will not strike twice. Careerbuilder was a success because he was early to market and bought another company that changed the whole playing field. He is a short, little, Napolean and he has meet his Waterloo.

And finally, for those of you above who spent money on services, I am so sorry. All of the candidate stuff came later after companies started realizing that the Fox was a steaming turd and they needed to generate revenue from somewhere. I am not sure if you can really sue, but know they just fired the rest of their sales staff, which means the end is near!!!!!

Oh and beware of their other scam, ResumePal….more hyped up garbage.

I was initially impressed by the promises and functionality apparent on the JobFox web site. I even decided to try out the more premium service for a couple of months.

After giving it a fair trial I’ve found it worthless.
Few of the “hits” I’ve gotten are appropriate. I’ve “applied” to a dozen via JobFox that looked like possible fits and have no evidence that my resume has even been received by any. I have certainly had no confirmation or even rejections — from the employers.

I’ve had much better success from Craig’s List. No job yet but some interest, acknowledgment of receipt and letters of rejection showing that they did look at the application.
