If you had the same phone call from the company and they're helping you then you're either a minion for that company (lying) or you're high.  This company is a scam!!!!

I got TWO calls from this company yesterday.  I knew right away that it was a scam but was bored so decided to listen to their sales pitch.  They said the same thing about my resume being elevated, I was a top candidate, blah blah blah.  I waited until she was done with the part about me meeting with their financial guy about the FREE 401k advice.  So, I said what the hell, sure I'll meet with him.  Fortunately for me the guy was available this morning.  He would come to me.  I told her I was out of town and could he still come to me.  She said they'd send someone to wherever I was.  Ok, told them I'd be there at 7:00 a.m. - gave them a fake address.  I was enjoying my coffee, in my jammies and smiling as I envisioned the minion driving around for an hour looking for me....... :D

Yeah, boy, CPR My Career smelled bad from the first contact. Every other sentence was "Retirement Planning" - I repeatedly answered with "under control - this issue is off the table - just looking for a job", etc. My Financial Planner guy is looking into their credentials in the field. Betcha he won't find any!

Look up the Trident Group and Work Save Retire. They just change up names. John Schrup, Jason Weise. All pretty terrible people and they are trying to scam you into giving up your 401k.

re: CPRmyCareer:  I too concur with above opinions.  Company not really interested in discussing jobs or qualifications but rather learning your personal financial holdings and getting you set  up with a local financial advisor.  Do not take the bait.  Unsavory.

CPR My Career is a FRAUDULENT company preying on unemployed people or people who have their resumes posted on Monster.com and other sites. They are POSING as a job placement company and poaching contact info from Monster.com, Career Builder, Beyond.com, etc. so they can sell people investment products. There is NO career help; it's just a scam to get people on the hook so they can sell them annuities.

Avoid these con artists and report them to Monster.com and the other job search sites.

This is at least the fifth name this phony operation (John Schrup) has used since 2008 - Trident, Outplacement Services of America, Strategic Financial Partners, Work Save Retire, CPR  My Career.

I too recently had the barrage of calls from CPR My Career.  I received a phone call at around 9:00 on Sunday night to verify that I had an appointment with them.  The 'caller' let it slip that it was for a "financial advisor".  I subsequently went back through my e-mails and found the appointment verification.  I was running late to make the 'appointment' and sent the person I was supposed to meet an e-mail sating so.  He kindly replied back saying that he had no knowledge of our appointment.  Unfortunately he replied with his 'title':
Norhill Wealth Strategies
1-877-476-5051
I am NOT looking for Wealth Strategies... I am looking for a job.  

CPR My Career is a TOTAL SCAM!

Scam artist who only want your money. There are no jobs just greedy hands in your wallet. My guess is the company hires people to read their scripts and the real job is to grab your 401k and ship it off to India

I too got the call from CPR.  Same sales pitch as previous posts only this was a guy named John at (925) 273-6615 and then another follow up over the phone from a guy named Andy at (952) 479-6348.  See a pattern in the phone numbers there?  Almost fell for it by agreeing to a one on one with other fella (financial advisor) named Tony in Scottsdale  (909) 223 0891 which would have required me driving a 60 mile round trip.  At the last hour I changed my mind and reschuled.  Tony or who ever he is will be deservedly disappointed when I blow him off!  After reading all these posts I'm glad I did not waste a trip.  They claim to have been in business for 10 years starting out in the eastern US and and trying to gain a foot hold in the west side.  Beware to anybody out there in Phoenix AZ!!!!!  

I applied to a job posting on one of the aggregator employment sites (Indeed.com or SimplyHired).  CPRmyCareer appeared as the recruiting firm. I received calls from "Gabby" (925-273-6615 x 1135) and from "Russell Dupuis" (925-273-6615 x 1120), each following the script mentioned in earlier posts here (your resume has been elevated, openings in your area, etc.).  I looked at their website to try to determine if their fee was paid by the hiring company or by the job seeker.  Info on their website was very vague. Now after reading these posts, it all makes sense.  What a deplorable business, preying on the jobless, particularly on "experienced professionals in transition."

I got a phone call from 952-479-6340 (CPR My Career) and Ms. Robyn Johnson asked me return her call at 952-563-3219 ext. 1110. I returned the call after 15 minutes and got an answering machine message which is quite typical for a non-existing office.

Engineering Manager
I applied online and interviewed at CPR My Career.

Interview Details – I interviewed with this company in December 2013 for multiple positions they were placing for. Now that some time has passed, I've finally looked up other's impressions with CPR My Career and see they had a similar experience.

I'm not certain if CPR My Career is looking to place people or sell financial services. I'm also starting to wonder if the positions they list are real or if they are just to attract candidates for financial services. I have this impression because I have applied to multiple CPR My Career positions that are a *direct* match with my skills and experiences and followed up with my assigned recruiter by email and phone and have not received any responses.

My experience with this "recruiting" company is as follows: after a brief phone interview and an online webinar, I was setup with an in-person "screening" interview with a local financial advisor. I was told that CPR My Career needed to verify candidates were not misrepresenting themselves by having an in-person interview. I was also told that since CPR My Career did not have offices across the US, they established a relationship with a financial services company who had representatives in my area. The financial advisor would initially screen you and then offer their services.

Ultimately I did not pursue their financial services, however I have found and applied for multiple CPR My Career positions and followed each of these applications up with a phone call and email to my assigned recruiter (a different person from the local financial advisor.)

While I still haven't received a response from the recruiter on any of the positions, I have received a call from a CPR My Career representative who spent over 90% of the phone call asking about the financial services meeting. I initially thought the representative wanted to verify the financial advisor was representing CPR My Career well, however despite my insistence that the meeting went well, the CPR My Career representative still wanted to set up a meeting with another financial advisor. Another meeting is really unnecessary because the first financial advisor already screened me as a candidate, unless of course they wanted another chance to sell me their financial services.

I'm not certain why CPR My Career wouldn't put more focus on placing candidates in positions since there is a finder's fee that would generate revenue for their company. Because of my experience and lack of response regarding positions I'm left with the impression that their core business is actually finding candidates for financial investments.

Unlike the other reviewer, I still do not have a job. I would change my opinion on CPR My Career if I were to receive a response or lead on a job, however at this time I question the true focus of their business.

loooooooool thx for posting this

Wow. Glad I found this site. I got the same pitch After Responding to some too good to be true job ads from a 952 area code. Caller id was 'strategic financial'. Wondered why they were asking about my retirement savings and setting up an interview with a financial advisor.

I got the same 'elevated' bs. looks like I will be cancelling those interviews!

Just a note to let everyone know that CPR My Career is still at its con game.  I noticed that all of their advertised positions have a preference for people with 20+ years of experience.  It makes sense if you're running a scam to get at someone's retirement money as people with that much experience would be expected to have a decent retirement account.

Thanks to all who have written comments.  It saved me the pain of listening to CPR My Career's canned speech.

Phone calls received from a Robyn Johnson at 952-479-6356 that appear to be connected. Similar message about my impressive resume they would like to discuss. Caller ID: Strategic Financial.

I got the same call from Robyn Johnson at 952-479-6356 today. Thanks to this feed, I will not be returning her call.
