Thank you

The career test helped me reflect on my strengths, though some of the suggestions felt a bit too broad.

Insightful

Shift definitely gave me a new perspective on my career direction. Some of the recommendations felt a bit generic at first, but once I spent more time on the platform, the insights became more useful.

Shift honestly feels like a career…

Shift honestly feels like a career coach in my pocket. I’m not even someone who usually leaves reviews, but this actually helped me land a job interview in under two weeks!
What I love is that everything’s in one place - helpful templates, solid guides, even tests that made me rethink how I talk about myself professionally. It really takes the pressure off. Highly recommended!

Shift just makes it easy

I started using Shift after I graduated. The product is full of colorful, easy-to-understand content. I appreciated this approach of "making things easy for me". Customer support was very nice and cooperative. Generally in my opinion worth a buk. Give it a try!

We believe career guidance shouldn’t feel overwhelming, so it’s awesome to hear the content felt clear and helpful. And we’ll be sure to pass your shoutout along to the support team.

Appreciate you giving Shift a try (and the “worth a buk” made our day 😊).

Good for job hunting

This tool is helpful when job hunting - it's effective, easy to use, and has an intuitive user experience. I only canceled since I found a job.
