My Mom Gives PC Pro a Shout Out!

Yesterday at work my mom came upon a computer issue that she couldn’t fix on her own. She called the company that services her organization. My mom was greeted by a nice woman named Joanne. Joanne proceeded to troubleshoot her computer and my mom was immediately impressed at how quickly Joanne figured out the issues. As they talked further on the phone she learned that this was Joanne’s second career. She learned that only 2 years ago, Joanne herself didn’t even really know how to turn off her computer correctly! Of course you know where this is going……… Joanne tells my mom she went to PC ProSchools and my mom says, oh my daughter works there! What a happy fun moment because it’s my signature on her diploma! My mom was so happy to report to me that my school really works because Joanne is so happy and loves her job and is making great money and overall Joanne saved the day and fixed her computer. We all know… mother knows best!!!

The Luck of the Irish Comes to PC ProSchools

Published by kpelchat under Miscellaneous

Stephen Moffit hails from Ireland so isn’t it appropriate that on St. Patrick’s Day he accepted a position in the IT industry with Centurion Data Systems! He is so excited to get started and while his salary has to remain confidential, I know it and I would say he has found his pot of gold!!!

PC Pro Grad Lands Job at Triple his Pay in 3 Years!

Published by kpelchat under Miscellaneous

Hello Kate,

I was told in my latest interview that they had contacted you for a reference. I would like to thank you for whatever you said – I was offered the job!

I’ll be working as a support desk technician at Columbia College – Chicago.

Just to let you know, and I’m sure I’ve said this several times, I can’t begin to tell you what a positive change in my life PC Pro Schools has made. Prior to attending PC Pro, I was the owner of three small businesses, worked all the time, and took home less than $20,000 a year as everything was going back into the businesses. After starting at PC Pro, I took the advice of one of Laura’s job search classes and “got my foot in the door” at a company for $10.00 per hour. Within three months (and while I was still in classes at PC Pro), I was offered a help desk position for $21.63 an hour. Not only that, but I was much happier with what I was doing for a living.

The position at Columbia is at $33.00 per hour. I’ve literally tripled my income within the last three years, and I can honestly say that it would not have happened without my training at PC Pro Schools.

Again, thank you very much.

John Danovich
