I disagree.... I got three different jobs all while under 1000TT... then again it occurred during the hiring frenzy. On the other hand again... I have had several opportunities to interview for other jobs during the slowdown and furlough phase including two standing job offers.... I suppose it all depends on the type of resume you have built and the experience to back it up.
Personally, I think it is money well spent... but thats only my opinion.
