As someone who worked with Career Pro Inc. for 10 years I know their commitment to quality and service. There are professionals in the careers industry who provide a plethora of theories. John O'Connor is not a theoretician, he is a practician. As a person friend and long time employee of Career Pro, I know their standard of quality, and I know the personal stake John O'Connor takes in representing each client he serves. If you find yourself in need of career transition services and you want someone who takes person pride in representing you to potential hiring authorities, contact Career Pro. If you need more than theories and ideas, I would suggest calling Career Pro today, ask for a free consultation, and tell Mr. O'Connor that you are serious about taking action to progress your career and find your worklife mission. From 1998 to 2008 Career Pro faithfully employed me - we had loads of fun and met countless wonderful clients! However, there is a catch to the story. John O'Connor is a natural trainer and coach. He teaches people how to recognize their worklife mission and how to take the action steps to realize that mission. John believes in helping someone reach their worklife mission so completely that he was willing and eager to help me when I was searching for mine. I am now the Senior Pastor of a progressive ministry and missional church in Virginia called Generations Church of VA. In fact, as my employees begin to advance their careers, I will recommend that they contact Mr O'Connor. As a past employee of Career Pro Inc and a personal friend of John O'Connor, I heartily recommend their services and their company. You owe it to yourself and to your career to work with the best. Ask John how he can help you hone down your worklife mission and start chasing it today! Paul Willis Pros: The tag line says: personal, powerful, and effective. YES! Cons: None more

I was introduced to John O'Connor of Career Pro, Inc. through the Financial Executives Networking Group. I am in a job transition and began using John's services in July. John and his team are top notch and have helped me immensely during my job search. First thing John did was rewrite my resume. I was skeptical at first because I had received a number of favorable comments about my existing resume. I couldn't see how it could be improved. Well, John made a believer out of me. My new resume is 100% better than my former one. When you put them side by side it really pops. I'm confident now that my resume will be noticed in that stack of resumes. As a test I asked a senior HR professional of a prominent company to review both resumes and give me her feedback. She told me that she didn't normally like "professionally" done resumes but she really liked the one John's team put together. In addition to rewriting my resume, John taught me the value in identifying my brand. Ones more

I was first introduced to John O’Connor and his company CareerPro Inc. approximately five years ago when I needed professional help to generate my resume. The end product was unbelievably successful for me, so when I needed an updated and “refreshed” version this year, I immediately went back to John and his team. The resume he designed for me this year even exceeded what he had previously done for me. I have received very favorable feedback on the product he produced for me. An example of the responses I received came from an HR professional and international recruiter for a global IT company I have known for over 15 years. I sent the updated version of my resume to her for feedback and she informed me that it was one of the most visual and quality resumes she has seen. My resume is manufacturing / operations focused, but she put my resume on a conference table with eight other executive-level resumes she had received and asked her staff to select the one they felt was the most impressive. Three of the four individuals selected my resume. Four years ago, I e-mailed my CareerPro resume to a company that had received over a thousand responses to their ad for a Plant Manager in a start-up venture, and received a phone call from the VP of HR literally 20 minutes later. In other words, John O’Connor and his staff create a very visual and effective instrument for presenting an individual’s brand and credentials. They also host an Executives in Transition meeting every week and that search support group interaction has been incredibly helpful to me. In all, I was taught many years ago that presentation is 90% of selling, and I honestly believe that Career Pro Inc.’s product competes on a national level and I look forward to engaging Career Pro Inc. on even more branding and outplacement help. I trust them and you can trust them too. more

Not worth it. I went and committed 1500 and thought I would get a few leads for a new job. All I paid 1500 for was a resume, nothing more nothing less. I never felt so taken advantage of. I left initial meeting excited and encouraged. Over a year later, nothing but a resume that is copied and paste of what I sent in an e-mail interview. Sad. more

I went to have a consultation with John at CareerPro when it looked like my company would probably be failing soon. I have 12 years of experience in the IT field, with several certifications. He said that if I decide to work with him he would have several interviews with me in order to get enough information to write an effective resume. John also said he would give me inside info into companies that I'm interested in working for, and that he has contacts at several of the companies I wanted to work for. He would also do some mock interviews to help me see what weaknesses I may have in the interviewing process. I was to pay $500 up front, and he would charge the remaining $295 to my card when I was satisfied. This fee was for two different resumes (two different positions I was targeting). I would have the drafts by the next Tuesday or Wednesday, and the final resumes on Friday of the same week. He knew I was waiting to apply for a position that was open. I went in once for an information-gathering session with John and after asking a few times, I finally had the ROUGH draft for ONE of the resumes on Friday (when I expected to have the FINAL documents for BOTH of the resumes I paid for). He explained that he wanted another week to ""bake in the quality"". Pros: Sounded great from the beginning Cons: Didn't get what I paid for, untimely, unfriendly more
