Professional, Rehab, & Occupational Services

What Professional, Rehab, & Occupational Services does

Professional, Rehab, & Occupational Services, LLC (operating as PROS / Life Works) is a privately held vocational rehabilitation and career consulting firm headquartered in Lewes, Delaware, with an operational base in Baltimore. Founded by Mary Sherwood Sevinsky and active for more than two decades, the firm delivers career coaching, resume and LinkedIn profile development, cover-letter writing, interview preparation, and specialized vocational services including workers' compensation case management, ADA assessments, ergonomic evaluations, labor market surveys, transitional employment assistance, and critical incident stress debriefing. The company's primary client segments are individuals navigating career transitions or returning to work after injury/absence, employers managing workplace claims and compliance, and insurance carriers and attorneys requiring vocational rehabilitation documentation.

The firm's competitive position rests on state-level credentials (Maryland State Provider #0112, MCRSP #N1079) and approved-vendor status with CEIWC (Maryland's state-fund workers' comp insurer), combined with a subcontractor relationship with GENEX and an affiliated consultant network spanning the Mid-Atlantic region. There is no proprietary technology platform; all services are delivered by a small in-house team supplemented by affiliated consultants via phone, email, video, and in-person channels.

Revenue is generated through unit-priced professional services — hourly coaching at $75, individual disability management at $50, litigation/insurance services at $110, resume development at $150-$350, LinkedIn profile creation at $150-$250 — alongside a $10/month email subscription and free initial consultations designed as funnel entry points. The go-to-market combines direct-to-individual sales, B2B relationships with insurance carriers and employers, and inbound leads from content properties (JobSearchForTheRestOfUs.com, InjuredWorkerHelpDesk blog) and Twitter engagement.
