I worked with Nicole Ellis and she was fantastic. She packed a ton of feedback and actions for me in every session. She has a ton of experience from working as an HR recruiter to coaching for C suite to entry level. I would highly recommend you check out her profile.

I really appreciated how they included so many careers in their database and the survey showed me a top job that I didn’t even know existed that I think I’d really love! Services are a bit expensive but I’m glad they allowed me to learn about myself a little more!

I had the pleasure of working with Shannon during a challenging point in my job search, and her support made a real difference. She brought clarity and energy to our sessions, helping me reframe my approach and identify concrete strategies I could put into practice. What stood out most was how personalized her guidance felt, she took the time to understand my background, listen to my goals, and tailor our conversations to what I truly needed. I left each session feeling more focused and equipped to move forward. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your career, I can’t recommend Shannon enough. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely committed to helping you find your next step.

After 17 years in the retail grocery industry, I was ready to take the next step and transition into a new field. I wanted to put my best foot forward in the job search, and Marlo played a key role in making that happen. She expertly translated my experience and skill set into a resume that clearly demonstrated how my strengths could apply across industries. She also helped me revamp my LinkedIn profile to better reflect my goals. Within a week of updating my profile, a local financial services company reached out to discuss an opportunity. In the weeks that followed, my resume opened doors to conversations and interviews with two additional companies. The job search process today is completely different from what it used to be, and thanks to Marlo, I was able to navigate it with confidence. Instead of spending hours writing resumes and cover letters from scratch, I focused my energy on preparing for interviews. It was absolutely time and money well spent—I'm thrilled to say I start my new job in just two weeks! Thanks again! Amanda

I was working with Shannon to make a slight career shift when an opportunity at my current employer came up. Our sessions provided an opportunity to share my thoughts out loud, and get to the bottom of what I felt would make me truly happy. Her questions and insights were very helpful and I'm grateful for our time together.

Arrived on the site after a family member offered to finance 2 months of coaching for me. Saw the career personality test before signing up for the subscription and thought it would be fun to try! The test was interesting. You have a mix of career-relevant questions and fun ones like asking whether you see a rabbit or duck in the famous ambiguous shape. The test will ask for your personal information throughout, such as zip code, phone number, and email address. When you complete the test, things are a little unpleasant, so heads up. You will sit through fake loading bars for a couple minutes while a video plays. You can't skip it, because that would ruin the loading bar immersion. (Tip: You may be able to spot fake loading bars in the wild by their progress being too regular with no stalls, or if their completion perfectly lines up with the end of an unskippable video.) Finally, after that, I was threatened "You will lose access to your report in: [countdown timer of about 15 minutes]" and shown payment options to access my report. Payment options ranged from $29.90 for minimal results including 5 recommended career paths and your career personality, to $99.90 (supposedly they took $50 off of a $149.90 normal price for today) for 10 recommended career paths and coaching. I chose not make any purchases since the countdown pressure made me too uncomfortable, so I can't tell you what the actual result or coaching quality is. Spent time, gave away personal information, didn't feel good about it in the end. EDIT: I received access to results for this test in an email later, even without making a purchase. Results included personality analysis, strengths, and a career recommendation (ironically for me, I was recommended the career I already have and am trying to branch away from). Star rating has been increased accordingly.

They offered a free career test when I searched for one on the web, but after 45 minutes of doing it, at the very END they finally said it would be $30 for a test. What scumbags lure you into taking a super long test, saying it is free, but then rope you into +$30 at the very end? Very horrible experience. If they would tell you that payment is required BEFORE you begin the test, there would be no problem.

I didn't come to Jobtest to explore new options, but rather to break my same bad habits that cause me to spiral away from work/life balance and becoming a go-to doormat. Taking the test was moderately insightful, but I did really appreciate some of the references it gave because I can easily incorporate them into future job descriptions, reviews, and resume, since I struggle to make certain statements about myself and my work (hello, imposter syndrome!). But the best part of this whole process has been the opportunity to work with Linda Leake; her background aligns with mine, but her advice and guidance is invaluable. I have a half dozen sticky notes with Linda quotes around my desk to remind me how to get un-stuck, how to set clear boundaries, and give myself permission to explore options and grow my confidence for whenever I'm ready to move to my next adventure. My time with Linda has been well worth the investment, and the resources in the site are valuable if you take the time to process, save, and leverage them.
