What is absolutely insane about this disease is the Tasmanian devils that have this do NOT have cancer in the way you'd think about. They have an invasive parasite.
So, my understanding (layman who reads about these things), is that, long ago, one particular Tasmanian devil got cancer. This devil bit another and transferred some cells, which grew on the recipient. Note that these cells belong to the original donor. ALL of these cells, on all of the affected devils, genetically belong to the donor. It's literally a separate parasitic life form that reproduces parthenogenetically. Like "Henrietta Lacks", the cells are still alive, long after the original being is gone.
So, none of the recipients cells has cancer. They have someone else's cancer living on them!
There used to be many of these, but they became mostly scams that preyed on desperate job seekers. By the time I started job hunting, many years back, this industry was viewed about like nigerian princes. No sensible person would deal with them.
There are career coaches to be found these days, I'm not intending to include them in this rant. I've had a few friends use them, and I've talked to one and he was reasonable.
As an individual, I'd avoid anyone that wants a percentage. Specified fee for helping with resume, linkedin profile, etc., fine.
