I found the panel was diverse and provided complementary insights. The moderator and questions being asked of the panel were well thought out.

The webinar touched upon all the aspects of Board role viz skills and qualifications , conduct, committees, risks & compliance etc. it was a very good guidance.

Good coverage of the topics and done well.

Very well organized webinar!

Editing review from 1 star to 3 stars. BlueSteps refunded my membership, which is appreciated. Overall, I do maintain the service was of very limited value for me as someone who just wanted to self-service and browse available opportunities. Perhaps the cost of a premium membership is justified for someone interested in more proactive support, such as resume reviews and career counseling. -- I signed up as a premium member, but have found the available opportunities and website in general do not justify the cost. Available opportunities appear to almost entirely be crosslisted on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc, and are not unique to BlueSteps. Furthermore, the sign-up flow under Member Benefits implies that I would get a 6-month trial and my credit card would not be charged...yet I was charged +$200. This feels very misleading. I've tried reaching out to BlueSteps through their customer support flow to cancel my membership and initiate a refund, but have not received any response.

I inadvertently signed up for the Premium membership and after about 6 days, I found the content to be quite limiting so I emailed and called Blue Step to cancel. Per the Terms and Conditions of the agreement, I can cancel and request a refund within 10 days of signing up. I've reached out to them multiple times and also called them to request a refund, but have not heard anything back. I am hoping this review will flag the attention of someone at BlueSteps. As what BlueSteps is doing is tantamount to fraud. I would encourage those who have paid for membership and not get a refund to report them to the Federal Trade Commission. UPDATE: I finally heard back from BlueSteps and they did refund me the membership.

I worked with Simeon Wong for my resume, exec bio & LinkedIn profile. Simeon was incredibly helpful in helping me hone in on my 27 years of experience and identify where my strengths are and what I've accomplished, which is tough to do when you have been at the same company for that long. Since updating my LinkedIn I have received several compliments from recruiters and hiring managers on what a great profile I have...all thanks to Simeon! Separately to those who have not had success using the Blue Steps recruiting platform. I did not use it but I understood that the site is meant to connect you to recruiters for future roles, as they may not have something immediately for you in your area. I understood it that this site helps you make connections & develop relationships for future opptys and to also help those same recruiters find talent for other roles, it should be treated like any other relationship: be communicative and ask what you can do for them, be committed for the long term. The webinars they have hosted with recruiters have been very informative and have helped me as I've worked with other recruiters who reached out to me via LinkedIn....because of my awesome profile Simeon did!

I signed up to this platform to help in my CIO search. They advertise connections with leading recruiters. I sent introduction notes to recruiters listed on their site. Between 15-20 over a 2 month period. Not a single response or even acknowledgment of receipt. This site preys on out of work people with no benefit.
