Career Pro Inc.

I hired John in July 2010 to strengthen my interviewing skills. Since my first point of contact, I was impressed with John. He served as an excellent coach and mentor over the months we worked together. John delivered honest and sincere advice, worked to strengthen my delivery, and improved my overall messaging. John went well beyond the call of duty in his commitment and time, spending several hours in preparation for each of our one-to-one meetings. I would gladly serve as a reference on his behalf and can highly recommend his services. more

I started working with John O'Connor and his team at Career Pro Inc. after an 18 year career with one company. My supervisory work and running the operations for a business took a lot of energy.

They want what is best for you and will help you through e more

I recently moved to Raleigh from Detroit and began the difficult task of starting over and trying to find a job. I have extensive retail management background but have found that there are many people with these skills competing for the same jobs that I am. I have known John O?Connor since college days and turned to him and his career service company, Career Pro Inc, for help. He was able to take what I thought was a good resume from a kindergarten level to a document that looked elite professional, highlighting my strengths in powerful ways I couldn?t. He then helped me practice for interviews and how to effectively reinvent myself, networking properly to find meaningful leads. I am much more competitive now in this market and have fielded several offers. Without John?s help I would still be fumbling around trying to find a career. Turning to Career Pro Inc was the smartest thing I have done. more

Career Pros was terrible! I went to them looking for some assistance in reworking and tuning my resume for a new field I was interested in entering. They were friendly and told great stories about how they could help me out. I would receive multiple revisions of my resume, interviewing assistance, videotaped interviewing sessions with personalized feedback. John spoke of how he had connections with almost every organization I was interested in. The upsells came quickly, but I decided to start small. What happened? So the resume writing service... Well first the entire office was late for my second appointment--when my brand new resume was to be revealed. While sitting in the waiting room I look over to the personal assistant who had come in and started working on his computer feverishly and notice he was retyping my resume as I was sitting there. Way to put in the effort. Needless to say it was simply reformatted with the addition of new spelling and grammatical errors. After complaining, John asked for another week to work out a few kinks and put some final polish on it. I eventually received someone else's resume with some of my experience pasted in. They didn't even bother to remove swaths of text and experience from the previous client. It wasn't even a good example resume! They stopped responding to my calls and emails. In the end I cut my losses, rewrote and reformatted my entire resume and cover letter. Never had a private interview session or any other service. All that insider contact info? Well I was given an HR name and number that I could have (and had) gotten from the company phone directory. Dropping John's name did absolutely nothing...they could have cared less. His insider company intelligence consisted of printing useless public information from the web about public disclosures of board members, shareholders, etc. Now look at the Career Pro reviews...what other local organization has this many verbose 5 star reviews. Look at the all the responses outraged by the negative reviews and how many mention personal relationships of knowledge of John and Career Pros. Weird, they've only written reviews for Career Pros. Astroturfing at its finest. I really can't think of a single shred of value I received other than perhaps hardening my scam senses. Stay clear... more
