No one cares to support me even after multiple follow up on their BOT. Always a standard user replies that they have taken over the chat but no real time assistance. While taking the subscription, it was informed that they have 24/7 support which is false and no one available.

good coaches but no results

I genuinely recommend Olivia. She is highly professional while also being warm and approachable—something I found especially valuable, considering that those of us on the receiving end are people going through a pivotal moment in our professional lives.

What I'm still not clear about, however, is the unique value of Shift's job search strategy. I rewrote my CV and optimized my LinkedIn profile, but just as before, I haven't received a single interview invitation for roles that are a 100% match for my background and experience.

To be honest, I'm feeling somewhat confused and disappointed.

This website is such a scam

This website is such a scam. If you cancel your subscription they are not gonna refund you. Firstly they will show you some subscription options and then after the payment they will ask you to add other things and at that time they don’t show any amount. But when you click on add to cart they will deduct huge amount from your account. Same thing happened with me and when I’m asking for my refund they are saying these are against our refund policy. Such a scam website I am never gonna recommend shift careers to anyone. People are coming here to get hired not to pay you these much amount. Guy’s please don’t you this website they are doing scam with us. I lost my 10000/- INR. I believe others don’t want to do this.

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

I approached Shift with curiousity but with much needed work on my documents because I felt I had the wrong approach. Not reading much into this intention, I received a bundle of support, advice, guidance that continues to this point from Mheanry, Faye and Adrian. They have checked in, kept in contact, extended themselves Above and Beyond the Call of Duty for which I remain very grateful. I look forward with much expectation from Valerie.

Dear Mohammed, thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're moved to hear that Mheanry, Faye, and Adrian have gone above and beyond for you - that continued care is exactly what Shift is about. We can't wait to support your next steps. Wishing you every success!

1⭐ Worst experience

1⭐ Worst experience. I was charged ₹7,281.86 during signup and cancelled everything within 30 minutes after noticing the multiple charges. Despite not using the subscriptions, every refund request was denied. The purchase flow was misleading, and the ₹1,909 Interview Guide was never made clear to me during checkout. Support kept repeating their policy instead of resolving the issue. Please read every charge carefully before making any payment

This is misleading and i paid for nothing. I have expected an AI auto apply agent instead i got a day by day plan which i need to follow in my job search. I am not at all happy with this.

Hi Ancysha, thank you for the honest feedback, and we're sorry for the mismatch in expectations. Shift is built around personalized coaching and a structured plan rather than an auto-apply agent, and we understand that wasn't what you were looking for. We'd like to make this right - please email us at contact@shift.careers so we can help.

Team helped recreate my resume so I can apply to jobs other than teaching. We both agreed I need help with technology. Great to work with and great turnaround on answers to questions.

Website is Decent but Coaching is Fantastic

I found the website only moderately useful as I already had a pretty robust CV and I personally didn't learn much from the exercises. (Others' experiences may vary.) So only 3 stars for the website. However, the job coaching session was excellent. Thanks to the advice and materials she provided, I've really upped my game and LinkedIn profile. I look forward to my second session at the end of the month.
