>> Paragon One – Career coaching from real professionals
>> Families spend a fortune on sending their kids to college......Families pay $7500 up front, and the kids get coaching over video chat. Paragon One says 100% of students who completed the program got job or internship offers.
Wow, so the for-pay college application coaching is now becoming for-pay jobs&internships "coaching?" I suspect this will be limited coaching and more so selling access. Wouldn't this essentially incentivize insiders to "sell" internship opportunities at prestigious firms? Certainly families paying $7500 up front are going to want results, even if it is a for-show internship at Google reviewing release notes that gets morphed into entry level resume gold. I'll be surprised if companies dont ban this outright (but then, TeamBlind seems to be successful...)
