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.

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.

Not as I expected
Not as I expected. They only give some information about job hunting. Resume and cover letter writing is cost extra.

My experience has been been excellent…
My experience has been been excellent with timely feedbacks and replies. I loved that my career coach Ally was there to guide me and support me when I was losing motivation. She has been a great help and I really appreciate it. With my CV curation to job search strategy, she did an excellent job. I am happy to have come across shift.

I signed up based on their money-back…
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.

Just what I needed...
I found access to the various personality and career profiling assessments helpful to get clarity of my own strengths but also where they might fit better, in a changing job market.
My 1:1 session and following email exchanges, with Ally my coach, was really helpful to bounce ideas, get feedback and receive expert advice on what I should start and stop doing.
If you commit to using all the features and services and put in the time to focus on this, I believe everyone will get great value for money and ultimately results.

I am deeply disappointed with this…
I am deeply disappointed with this service due to misleading pricing and underwhelming content.
I was led to believe the subscription was $0.42/day. However, after paying, I received a receipt indicating a second upcoming payment that more than doubles the advertised price. Furthermore, the 'Basic' material is extremely elementary; anyone with a small experience will find it redundant. To access anything remotely useful, you are forced to pay hundreds of dollars more. I have already requested a full refund.

Dear Kajal,
We’re truly sorry to hear that this was your experience. That’s never the impression we want anyone to have after joining us.
We completely understand how frustrating pricing concerns can feel. The $0.42/day reflects the introductory promotional rate, and the renewal terms are presented during checkout before confirmation. That said, we take feedback about clarity very seriously and will continue reviewing how this information is communicated.
We’re also sorry to hear that the content didn’t meet your expectations. We’re continuously working on improving the depth, clarity, and overall value of our materials, and feedback like yours is important in helping us do that.
Your refund request has been received and is being handled by our support team, and we’re committed to resolving this promptly and fairly.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Great Customer Service
I am increasing my rating as Shift responded to my review immediately and refunded the subscription amount. The customer service was impeccable.
The adverts are misleading and suggest the app contains job opportunities which is does not. I didn’t receive one email or notification from Shift when I signed up, and they have just taken another $39.99 from my account. I have now cancelled my subscription but am upset there was no reminder or correspondence at all to remind me the payment would be taken or any initial confirmation of an account. This just seems like a money grabbing exercise, targeting people who are out of work. Also it sees impossible to contact them to try and resolve this. No contact email or forms anywhere. I used the bot on the app but that is just for career advice.

Hi Samantha,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. Shift is designed to provide career guidance, advice, and support to job seekers rather than direct job listings, and we apologize if this wasn’t clear from the advertising.
Regarding your subscription and notifications, we normally send confirmation emails upon sign-up and reminders before payments. It sounds like these may not have reached you, which we sincerely regret. We’d like to review your account and ensure you’re fully supported, including processing any eligible refunds if applicable.
Please reach out directly to our support team at contact@shift.careers, so we can resolve this promptly.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

They charged me and I immediately contacted them for a refund because I still had a day to renew, I never used the service, emailed them to bring a resolution, no reply from them.

Ally is a ***FABULOUS*** coach!
I was on the point of backing out, thinking Shift wouldn't help with entrepreneurial careers, but Ally changed my mind. She really listened to me, heard my hopes/plans/conflicts, and is helping me to chart a realistic course that makes sense. I feel heard, supported, motivated, and hopeful for the first time in a long time. Highly recommended!

After getting this service
After receiving this service, I canceled it the same day. It is more focused on helping you figure out which job you want, rather than getting you to that job. The "instructor" I was chatting with never sent a single message; the bot handed me off to them, and I was left on read three to five times over the course of 40 minutes. I won't be using this service at all.
Edit. After the initial review, the coach did respond. Turns out even though the chat is there 24/7 and the messages will show "read", a coach isn't there except for Monday through Wednesday during hours. The refund policy was okay, but I would like to see a dedicated section on the site to initiate this process, rather than having to email support and wait for a response. This would also reduce their workload. So far, I've seen improvement, and I will update as I go.

Hi
My name is Mansi. I am struggling in finding out a better job for me. Whenever, I had interviews, the manager used to tell me that something is missing in my resume. They are looking for something unique. Then, I contacted Shift careers. Honestly, they made one of the best resume for me. And, I really felt happiness after reading my skills and experience. Now, I will post a review once I get a better job. Let’s hope for the best!

Great experience with Ally
I only had one session with Ally, but she was great and is so supportive throughout what is a really challenging process in applying and interviewing for jobs. I give her 5 stars as a coach, but I didn't really spend too much time on the Shift platform. Some of the tools were helpful, and Ally also provided me with helpful resources. I highly recommend Ally as a coach to anyone looking for guidance in their career path.

Exceptional Career/Resume Service
This is the first time I have utilized the services of a career/resume service. However; I am pleased that I did. Ally worked with me. She is very skilled and knowledgeable. Having an employment gap, Ally brought many useful tips to my arsenal. Most that I had not even considered. She also assisted me with updating my LinkedIn profile, which had me stumped for weeks as to how to update it. She has exceptional customer service skills and answered emails quickly. Very pleased with the Shift service!
