Career Pro

The CareerPro Inc. team helped me build a new network, connect with people in and outside of my industry. I live in Washington state and I needed some helping in getting my career up and going. It had stalled and I needed a number of things polished, prepped and built, including my confidence on interviews and LinkedIn. Actually I am writing this as a second generation client as my dad hired CareerPro many years ago and has hired them since to help him on his executive career path.

When I needed help he immediately suggested I take the same success route. I am glad I did. Through great insights and coaching I landed a fantastic opportunity locally where I live. The CareerPro Inc. coaching and assistance works anywhere in the country and I am happy to give them a great recommendation.

The team at CareerPro, alumni and speakers have been a great resource to me over several months. I've made tangible improvements towards personal career planning and branding goals. As an accomplished business strategy and marketing executive, I hold high standards for delivering value. John O'Connor and his team have always been available and responsive -- from answering simple (but important) email inquiries to where a decision required an hour or so to discuss.

My experience surfaces options beyond what I'd typically see and objectively consider. I needed an experienced career 'coach' who: 1) knew my industry, 2) had instincts about roles and evolving leadership needs, 3) had a keen pulse on the Raleigh region and 4) was entrepreneurial. John has a forward-looking mindset, is decisive and offers creative ideas without overplaying risks.

Great resource for career movement, job transitions, and networking with other professionals. I came to CareerPro Inc. as part of a job separation package, but have continued to semi-regularly participate with CareerPro Inc. events to continue to learn, network, and give back to the team and the group that assisted me between jobs.

As someone who knows a lot about branding, marketing and e-commerce strategies (my main focus!) I needed to find a firm that could assist me in creating my own career plan and that thought creatively with me to help me. Through networking and professional referrals I found CareerPro Inc. and hired them to assist me on a number of fronts. This support included collaborative ideas and career strategies that have helped me win new business and create better career options - documents, research and more.

They helped me answer some difficult questions, stand out from my peers and talent that is out there. In essence there is a lot of competition for the better roles. That preparation and the willingness to answer even the smallest strategy and content questions along the way has led me to work with them for the past several years. I highly recommend CareerPro for you and your company.

This is a great service and very helpful for anyone in career change and for any company that is serious about talent alignment, recruiting and outplacement. I personally decided to work with CareerPro Inc. from a referral from one of North Carolina's top entrepreneurs who I trust. This was a winning referral because I have received excellent career counseling, networking advice, LinkedIn assistance and brand improvements.

As a brand person myself in the world of photography and video I am very aware of the quality needed to give this advice. This is why I turned to CareerPro. The small team at CareerPro also holds a weekly seminar with established speakers, trainers and teachers on every subject. Even though I am an experienced pro I have picked up on many important nuances that have already helped me to land opportunities.

The subjects range from interview advice, networking secrets and interview coaching. The team takes its time to help you and answer every question about things that come up during the process. I also want to shout out to their network for providing inspiration and encouragement as they have been positive cheerleaders and great listeners which is uncommon (uncommonly good) these days. They get my highest recommendation!

For more than 15 years I have turned to CareerPro to recommend their services to my closest friends and business associates. I have hired them multiple times for my own career and they have never let me down. In turn I have been able to provide networking assistance and encouragement to their business and individual clients. This relationship has been a source of invaluable inspiration and advice for me.

The ecosystem created around CareerPro is about help, advice, insight, ideas and critical networking connections that will help build talent and career. The people I have referred to CareerPro have been similarly affected in a positive way. Brent Davis

I was able to connect with John and his team at CareerPro through a trusted HR Business Leader and they were able to help me to continue to build my network and create a new strategy to brand myself within the HR world. In just a few short months I am pleased to say that through this collaboration I have landed in an ideal role with a great company.

With the advise and guidance of CareerPro I now have a long lasting network that will help me in the years to come. If you need leadership development, coaching, career insights and the advice to create your best brand this is your company.

One of my best friends raved about CareerPro Inc. when I was living in Pennsylvania. I was stuck in a job and happy to be working, but there was certainly something missing in my career. CareerPro and the team really supported and encouraged me from day one to pursue my goals and not settle for average. Even though I jumped right in and listened to the advice of the coaches and the recruiting team advocates, I felt I wanted to be near my friend and thought why not move down to one of the hottest places in the country, so I decided to move to the Triangle area and the core CareerPro team and I'm sure glad I did.

The one on one coaching, Zoom training and networking connections led me to start immediately building a trusted network. None of the work was easy but to know the team I had behind me helped. As an engineer, I'm very detailed and demanding and I was not let down. John, Dana, Rachel, Holly, David, Paul and a number of networking connections, too many to mention, absolutely rallied behind me every step of the way.

This edge and this hope led to networking connections that has opened the door to my dream role, one that I initially held little hope in landing. But I had support and great advice, nailing my interviews and fortunately winning! This whole process took me approximately 3 months from when I started to work with CareerPro until I got the offer for the position. Thank you so much CareerPro team.

Not only have I presented at the well-known CareerPro Inc. networking meetings, but I have helped create content for some of their top clients. I have watched CareerPro help professionals with career development, leadership, and outplacement so these individuals can find their next career adventure. CareerPro uses generous outreach measures and alumni assistance to inform their clients.

In addition to assisting their individual clients, CareerPro is able to create unique offerings for each company they serve. I am happy to be associated with CareerPro Inc. and look forward to serving their individual and organizational clients for years to come.

My multi-year relationship with CareerPro Inc., their team and entire network has been an indispensable part of my career journey. A few years ago, I took a leap of faith and moved back to the Triangle with no professional network in place. Although the team at CareerPro will probably never suggest how important they are when promoting someone who is facing career change or thinking through their next phase of leadership, I will.

I needed a new network, a new perspective and a thought process even beyond the work they did to promote resumes, LinkedIn and the network. I got that and more. If you are considering services for you or your company you can rely on CareerPro to tailor their work to meet your needs, help you with compassion and be with you as long as you need them to help you or inspire you.

I endorse the the methodology, the attention to detail and the nearly endless care for their clients. They invite "alumni" to continue to benefit from them long after a contract has finished. It is clear that they want to reach back out and help others because it is all about the heart for people that matters here. If you need motivation, you got it.

If you need a tactician, they will help you. If you want encouragement and a clearer path to your people and personal goals this is the place. I recommend them to everyone and highly endorse CareerPro Inc.!

For many years I knew the people at CareerPro Inc., what they did and supported in the North Carolina community. When I needed to transform my brand and begin a more serious career search I asked them to help me build out my early career brand. They did and they supported me through excellent advice and insight. I now work in the field I want and have accepted a fantastic role. Even after acceptance they have supported me and assured me that they would be there every step of the way in the future. The future looks really good.

John O'Connor makes a personal investment in the people he serves. He is sincere, driven, and compassionate, traits that push him to find the right fit for his clients. John helped my son navigate a complex and often confusing job search by getting to know my son on a personal level and listening--it was not a one-size-fits-all approach to a job search.

Perhaps the competitive instinct he honed as a collegiate wrestler is what fuels him to support his clients and guide them on their career journey. John is a winner. He has my highest recommendation.

TL;DR - I quit my job in Chicago and landed in Raleigh suddenly. Career Pro helped me with coaching and support. Career Pro is an amazing team that helped me land a dream job of making new ice cream flavors in California! This was both a career move that I wanted to make and one that I didn't believe I could do. Thank you, Career Pro! I really appreciate all of the personal attention and advice that the team at Career Pro has given me!

I am a young professional - only 3 years out of college and left my job in Chicago to relocate near my family in Raleigh because of a family emergency. It was quite difficult to find a way to write my resume and cover letters to address this sudden gap and John and the team at Career Pro were so helpful in finding ways to address this. I found their services in resume building and cover letters to be useful, but what was more helpful was their advice on networking.

I needed some hand-holding because I am naturally an introvert (and I'm still quite new to professional networking!) and the team at Career Pro was so helpful and thoughtful with their advice! They responded promptly to emails and hold weekly check-in meetings. After all their advice and coaching, I was able to network my way into my dream job.

I was previously an engineer and have always wanted to enter product development, but wasn't sure I was ready or had the skills needed. I also love working for Fortune 500 companies, but after a gap on my resume, I wasn't confident anyone would take me. Not the case! I have landed a product development job at a Fortune 500 company with Career Pro's help!

I am so happy and so grateful! Obviously, they will not do the work for you and cannot promise to find you a job. But if you need a partner to help you stay motivated in your job search and someone like a mentor/coach to offer friendly advice (or sometimes much needed tough love!) THIS IS THE PLACE.

I was invited to speak to and do training for Career Pro clients in August of 2017. During my visit, I connected with Career Pro founder John O'Connor and several members of the team, including alumni client of CareerPro Inc. I found everyone very competent, professional and well connected. I continue to network with John and his team and they continue to impress me with the number and quality of tools that they offer their job search and corporate clients as well as the depth of talent within their organization.

I have referred colleagues to them for assistance with career changes and will continue to do so. If you seek a caring, talented and professional group to aid with your career search or with your company's talent planning, then I highly recommend CareerPro Inc.

John has hosted the American Marketing Association Job Fair for the last two years and been a cheerleader for career-focused professionals in the Triangle. In particular, my AMA colleagues and I have found a lot of value in his expertise on LinkedIn and resume writing. Recently, John offered me a boost to my personal job search--offering encouragement and counsel. I'm grateful for his assistance!

Excellent resource for any professional in transition looking for guidance with next career steps. John is a strategic thinker who is well connected in the industry and he puts his clients' needs first.

John at Career Pro set me up with valuable networking practices and helped me connect with the right people to propel my career in the triangle.

Career Pro has helped and encouraged me to pursue excellence in my career path as I work with customers from all walks of life. The company cares about the community and supporting North Carolina companies. They have helped me and will help you as well. I am happy to recommend the team at Career Pro Inc.

As I have worked with CareerPro Inc. and their clients, alumni and friends I found it to be an encouraging and positive experience! People and companies facing career or life transition can feel pressure and feel alone and creating effective LinkedIn, interview, resume, marketing and networking strategies for today's workplace isn't easy and CareerPro has helped so many people through these struggles and transitions to find successful jobs! Positively helping companies and people through change is what this company does best and it is a joy to work with them and the many clients I have met.

Career Pro, Inc. is the go to place for executives and professionals in transition. Also look for their podcast, blogs and events as resources along your career path. I have referred people to them for years and had a pleasure speaking at their events. One of the added things I like about Career Pro is if their clear commitment in finding new way to support our veterans as well

Was not impressed with the amount of money spent and the product received. Spent several hundreds of dollars for an out of date formatted resume and cover letter. Be advised that their standard package costs $6500. The reviews on here and on google seem suspicious. Not sure if they are real. I paid for these services for my husband. And reviewed the products received.

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.

John and the team at Career Pro have consistently gone above expectations. They listen and spend the time needed to understand each client's specific strengths and needs for career transition. They've helped me build networks, offer introductions, professional guidance, and have always been available when needed for questions. Career Pro provides direct networking events and brings in expert speakers with relevant content. I highly and confidently recommend Career Pro to anyone looking for a positive career transition or direction.

John is a great career coach who has one of the strongest network of contacts and business relationships in theTriangle area and beyond. He provides sound advice and helpful career services that will help anyone enhance their careers, improve their job search, develop their networking skills and more. Highly recommend Career Pro Inc.

Today's executive placement and recruitment can be exciting. a little challenging but exciting. With over 20 years of success John has the professional pedigree to strategically assess profession skill levels, behavior characteristics with employer implementation requirements that guarantee success. Having witnessed this success over the last 10 years, I must say that John is as good as it gets!

Great services. John has been helping with my career for 10 years now. Any time I change jobs and/or do need career advice he's been there for me.
