USOFA, you have portrayed the exact scenario. i have just been through the shit. exactly the same. i learnt all those bull shit softwares winrunner, loadrunner, QTP .. everything. You seemed to really knowledgable in this area. I have a question for you. I joined a consultant about six weeks back. I stayed with them for this period of time. They changed my resume so outrageously that you won't believe it until you see the resume. I had six years of experience and was working in US for past 5 years in companies whose name I can not even pronounce. I could not bear it anymore and decided to go back to continue for my PhD. When I went to tell them this thing, they got really serious and tried to convince me to stay. But, i did not wanna stay. Then, they threated me that they will charge me 5000 for the training. They told me they would send me a bill of $5000 and if I didn't pay it, it would be in my credit history. They are doing all this illegal business of changing the resume and using false references. Do you think they will really send me the bill and I will have to pay it or they are just threating me? I am broke. If I really have to pay that sum, I will be in a deep shit. Please help me out. Thank you.
