I am writing this review to warn parents and students alike of the poor service we received from the internet company called Dream Careers.
We signed our son up with DC with hopes of securing him a Summer Internship for 2019. The Website looked great, reviews adequate. We sent them our $4000.00 dollars.
The program promised resume review, interview practice, all leading to real time interviews and intern placement in the area of your choice, money back guaranteed.
In the beginning, our adviser seemed vigilant. Our sons resume was revised and phone conferences kept. As the summer approached, interviews and internships were promised, but never materialized. As time went on, communication became increasingly difficult. Our calls and emails went unanswered. What was very frustration was that phone conference appointments were made and confirmed and at the appointed time, no one was there to answer… a waste of our time and eventually our money.
My son did manage to contact the adviser at end May. Again we were strung along with hopes of interviews and internships in the making. Memorial Day came and went. No contact after that. They didn’t even have the decency to admit that they had no placement for him.
To finish, if you want to be treated with little respect, have your questions and concerns not answered honestly, and strung along with the hopes of securing an interesting and fun internship for your child for the summer and have nothing happen, this is the place for you. Otherwise, please do not waste your money or time on Dream Careers. Find another avenue.
It is the beginning of August now and we have requested our money back. A plethora of emails and voicemails have been sent out. I am not shocked that there has been no reply.
My daughter signed up for this program to find an internship last summer. They referred her to one company in NYC that was unable to interview her until after school let out in May. My daughter was able to find an internship through her college, so she notified them that she would not need any other referrals. She paid a $999 application fee (non-refundable - ok). She also paid over $8,000 for the program which included placement with a company for an internship, housing, transportation, entertainment, etc. Because she cancelled herself rather than waiting for them to fail, saving them time and effort, in the small print, it states that she is only eligible for a 50% refund. If she had not canceled, she would have been eligible for the full $8,000 refund. To make matters worse, after numerous calls and emails, they have not even sent her the 50% refund owed to her. Now, they don't even answer the phone. They are unfair in their policy and don't even abide by the small print in their own contract.
