But the proof is in the people that have been assisted. In the recent tough times of the Global Financial Crisis, Barnes took on a case load of about 100 retrenched workers in a six month block. His statistics in helping these casualties of tough economic times by getting them back into work in a tough job market were nothing short of staggering;
39% re employed in 30 days and 87% in 90 days.
Several that did not get re employed in 90 days opted for extended holidays, a motor bike trip around the country, a five month trip around the world were some examples.
Here is what one of them said;
I was offered four jobs in a week, so took the one closest to home. Thanks for preparing me for this, in all of the interviews they said I was the best prepared they saw.
