Career Pro Inc.

I purchased John Conners services in 2005 when I was trying to get a federal job or an upper level position. He made promises of developing a greatly enhanced resume - much better then the one I showed him. This was a false promise as the resume was no better then the one I had already and in my opinion not as good. I ended up using my own because I thought it was more professional. In Hindsight I was very foolish to believe he would be able to come up with fantastic resume that would help me. He charged me 1,000 dollars with the promise that I would have unlimited help from career pro for as long as it took while offering career coaching, networking, and other things which I can no longer remember. He talks a good game, but way too good to be true in fact. He tells you what you want to hear and plays on your vulnerabilities, as he is ultimately after only one thing- YOUR MONEY!!\r I think of him now as kind of a legal con artist. Like some other reviews have stated- he seems more interested in getting your money and then his interest in your situation decreases rapidly and he will try to do the bare minimum while being polite, but seemingly trying to get rid of you quickly. I came back to see him in 2006 since I was already paid up for his so called services. At that time he seemed more interested in getting me to join his home based multi level marketing business, where I would purchase products and he would get a percentage, then he was in my professional career or in helping me. As a Military veteran who served honorably in the USMC I expected more, much, much more, and am greatly disappointed in Johns greed, and how he financially capitalizes at the expense of others. I am motivated to write this review so other hard working Americans, who are trying hard to further themselves, ESPECIALLY VETERANS, wont be taken advantage of! I saw these other reviews and felt bad that others had been taken advantage of like I had so I wanted to post thisl I paid 1000 dollars basically for having my resume redone which was a cut and paste job of the resume I already gave him. I also received a book on how to get a federal job- a good book, which while useful probably was well under 100 dollars. I\r \r Again, I am just trying to help prevent anyone else from falling victim so you can email me at sdj.securpro@yahoo.com and ask me anything you want. My name is Steve Jackson. Thank you veterans!! more

?Career Pro Inc. offered me a paid internship this past summer. I had been aware of the business for a number of years through neighbors and friends, as well their support of our local swim team. I felt like it would be a great opportunity to learn and grow, especially having seen former interns and employees go on to work at successful companies such as Google, Deloitte, and many others. CareerPro Inc. has allowed me unprecedented access to career insights that I would have never received. I was treated like a valued asset to the business immediately and throughout my time. \r \r My experiences these past few months have been outstanding. I have been able to gained firsthand knowledge about executive career issues, mid- career challenges, and what it takes to engage with human resources and many professionals from a variety of industries, as well as the inner-workings of a successful small business. \r \r John O?Connor has truly changed the standard for customer service and quality of care in the career consulting space, approaching each client?s situation from a personal level and providing them with the guidance necessary to help them reach their career goals. This is something I will take with me throughout the rest of my education and career. I am extremely thankful for John and Career Pro for giving me this opportunity.? more

I used Career Pro services in 2013. I was laid off from a company I worked at for 13 years so I was looking to have my resume professionally written to capture employers attention. I met with John and I was not impressed with the services. I did receive a updated resume but I ended up editing it myself. Also, I felt this company was only about money and not very helpful. I did find employment shortly after I was laid off but it was because of my own networking. I really wasted my money with Career Pro. more

The team at Career Pro Inc. embraced me, understood my brand and provided coaching beyond my expectations as a corporate outplacement client. Their work with me helped me clarify my brand proposition and build a powerful network. John and his team pushed me outside of my comfort zone to better network and create value. Career transition is hard enough but to have a company that can support you through this and into your next career move remains priceless in my estimation. more

The Career Pro Inc. team with John’s leadership help build a brand around you, assist you in the many problematic details or branding and search. They have also created a very positive environment around you while you search for new and challenging opportunities. It’s very important in search to provide interview insights, resume writing, LinkedIn advice and research; they certainly provide all of that. But they also try to understand your work purpose and encourage you to take calculated risks to stand out and not compromise your goals even as the search seems to wear on and on. All the while it feels like a team atmosphere with this company. That’s what I needed to successfully land and that’s what you can expect from this company and the people associated. more

I met John O'Connor of CareerPro at an education event for CPA's in Greensboro where he made a presentation about using Social Media to market both ourselves and our businesses. \r \r I was unemployed at that time and was searching for someone who could help me in finding a job and/or redefining my career. John was the right choice for me. \r \r The first thing we did was rewrite my resume. I always knew that my resume needed work, but my skill set relates to numbers more so than to words, so I seriously needed help. John guided me through the process of defining what I had done in my previous jobs and made a number of suggestions about how to present this information in a meaningful manner that helped me get a number of interviews while I was working with John after having gone several months without a meaningful interview. \r \r Further, he helped me to define what it was that I wanted to do. I'm now working steadily as a financial consultant. I have greatly expanded my network through wor more

A few years ago, I enlisted the services of Career Pro. For the amount I paid (1,500), I would have to say that I did not get the help that I expected. I got a resume, cover letter, a little career coaching, and a few names of professionals to network with. Overall, I had a good experience, but it was not worth the money that I paid. more

When I first came to Career Pro, Inc., I had been actively searching for a new job for about a year and a half. I'd had no real success with my career change and was a little discouraged. John and Amanda were awesome to work with. Armed with their advice and guidance, I went back to the job search with renewed energy and an improved resume. Within a few months, I received the job offer I'd been hoping for. I am extremely grateful for John and the folks at Career Pro. I highly recommend them. more

I cannot begin to say enough about John O'Connor and Career Pro Inc.! When I discovered Career Pro, I was not only in transition but completely oblivious and overwhelmed when it came to Social Media and Cyber Networking. But working with John makes me feel understood and validated, and his coaching in areas of creating my personal brand, marketing myself and building my network are really paying off! But the best thing about Career Pro is how very personal their services are, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I know I will be in the Career Pro fold for many years to come! more

Not impressed with Career Pro! Last year, I contacted Career Pro to receive help writing a resume and also to provide me with the tools I would need to make a career change. I scheduled an appointment to meet with John and I felt like his main objective was about money. I signed up to receive a updated resume and some career coaching, I did receive a resume but I felt like it was just the bare minimum. I met with John two more times and I felt it was a complete waste of time. I would not recommend this company to anyone. You can update your own resume. more

John and his team at CareerPro get six stars from me. Not only does John understand fitting the right candidate to the right career, he takes into account the candidate's professional and personal goals. John keeps a keen eye on the hiring market, networking with the proper organizations and business leaders. But most important to me, is John gets to know the challenges a person is facing and provides both the professional and spiritual support that is required at the time. more
