Subscription Fee for Nothing

You pay a subscription fee, and then inside the subscription area, there are more, larger fees to do anything potentially useful. It seems designed to extract the maximum amount of money in the shortest time. They might be hiding the secret to becoming a billionaire, but they'll charge you $2 billion to find out.

Big impact

Made a real difference. I thought a CV update was enough, but the coaching helped me rethink my whole approach. I now feel ready for senior roles I didn’t think I could reach.

Dear Brenda, this is wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing! A polished CV is a great start, but realising your own potential for roles you hadn't even considered is exactly the kind of shift we hope to help people make. Those senior roles are well within your reach and we have no doubt you'll get there. Go get them!

Great coach Olivia

Olivia really gets it. I was nervous before my session, but Olivia immediately made me feel comfortable. She helped me organize my job search, refine my profile, and gave tips for interviews. I feel much more confident now.

I was switching industries and didn’t know how to position myself. Olivia was great and offered some fantastic tips for my CV and LinkedIn page. In the short session we had, she helped me so much and gave clear actions I could implement immediately. Talking to someone knowledgeable really made a difference. I enjoyed Olivia’s open and honest communication, and her understanding of the current job market was impressive.

Ally is very knowledgeable

Ally is very knowledgeable. Her questions were on point and her observations were insightful. She made the session interactive and practical. It felt so good to speak with a real human who understood my concerns. She was empathetic, and I felt comfortable discussing all my questions. I loved having the opportunity to bounce ideas off someone specialized in job searching.

Wishing you all the very best!

Ridiculously bad platform

I took the subscription as I thought it would help me but I was so wrong. I would get 1 response daily after sending so many messages. Also the so called career coach always asked me to pay more for every service like to review my cv, LinkedIn and everything. She was like go to LinkedIn and apply for jobs but shit I was already doing.
Very pathetic and wasteful service.

Dear Durvesh
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience.
We understand how frustrating delayed responses and unmet expectations can be. Our goal is to provide timely support and clear guidance, and it’s clear we fell short in your case.
Regarding additional services, we aim to be transparent that more in-depth support (such as CV and LinkedIn reviews) may be offered separately, but we recognize this may not have been communicated clearly or felt aligned with your expectations.
Please reach out to us at contact@shift.careers so we can look into your case in detail and work toward a resolution.
Kind regards,

Navigation issues

The assessments and career materials are insightful, but I struggled a little with navigating between sections. Once I got used to it, it was very useful.

I signed up based on their money-back guarantee, which gave me confidence in their service. However, when I asked for a refund, they refused to honor that promise. A guarantee should mean something. In my experience, this was misleading, unprofessional, and deeply disappointing.

Dear Maryam,

Thank you for sharing your experience – we’re very sorry to hear this.

We understand how important trust is when it comes to a money-back guarantee, and we take concerns like yours seriously. Our refund policy includes specific eligibility criteria, which are outlined during signup, but we recognize that this may not always feel clear or aligned with expectations.

Please reach out directly to our support team at contact@shift.careers, so we can resolve this promptly.
We’ll also continue improving how we communicate our policies to avoid situations like this in the future.

Thank you again for your feedback.
