Careerist Bewertungen 

I am regretting attending Careerist instead of another boot camp. The program guarantees that one can break into tech with no prior sales or tech experience needed. Moreover, it guarantees 1:1 mentorship, specifically to improve my resume and practice mock job interviews. As of today, even after Graduation on March 3rd, these guarantees have not been delivered.

I have been assigned to Aigerim Yerzhan as my mentor. In attempting to schedule a meeting with this mentor, I noticed that her availability will be either between the hours of 12 am-5 am or 10 pm - 11:30 pm CST. These hours are not conducive to my schedule. Nevertheless, I went ahead and scheduled an initial meeting on February 3, 2023, to discuss Careerist and what I can expect with mentorship. During our meeting, I asked very specific questions about how we will proceed, and how my resume should be curtailed for the Sales Engineering position, and Aigerism could not answer the questions. All she kept communicating to me is to send her my resume and never addressed my concerns. At the conclusion of our call, I did not feel confident that she could adequately assist me because she never answered my questions. On your website, it states that Careerist has qualified mentors. My experience with Aigerim does not prove that she is a qualified mentor.

Then, on March 7, I had a demo + interview session with Farhan Awan. During this session, he stated that I did a bad job with my demo. He did not give me any constructive criticism as to how I can improve my demo. Additionally, during the interview portion of the session, he was critical of my answers; his body language was coming across as negative to me with Farhan constantly shaking his head from side to side and rolling his eyes, indicating disagreement or disapproval. He offered very minimal tips for improving my interview techniques. At the end of our session, I left feeling less confident, not encouraged, and more so, I felt penalized and was put in a place of judgment for my responses. Before this demo session, we never received any practical hands-on training in the classroom to successfully prepare and complete a good demo and ace a tech industry interview. Once more, my experience with Farhan does not prove that he is a qualified mentor. I found Farhan rude, dismissive, and distressing.

I, now realize that the current structure and personnel of the Careerist Sales Engineering program is not the same as when Cyrus Harbin went through the Curriculum. He received hands-on interviews and demo practice in the classroom to successfully ace his interviews. That is how he was able to confidently pivot into tech, and that's why he recommends Careerist to his 100,000+ followers on social media. I feel that after my financial and time investment into Careerist, I have not acquired the adequate training and skills to become a Sales Engineer. I am left to seek other avenues and boot camps to learn how to demo, learn to interview successfully, learn how to optimize my LinkedIn and resume, and learn to effectively seek a Sales Engineering position.
I am highly disappointed with my financial investment and time in the Careerist program. Since starting this program, I have not received an adequate return on my investment. I have connected with other former students who encountered similar experiences to mine, and they have enrolled in other boot camps and as a result, now have jobs in the tech industry.

My hope that in the future is that Careerist will address these issues and really deliver on their training's guarantees. At this moment, I am asking for a full refund of my investment. The course lacks structure. The instructors pretty much read from the slides every night and do not prepare you adequately for the demo and job interview that you must pass in order to successfully pivot into tech. The Careerist program is a scam. The internship is a joke. It is just you calling potential students to get them to sign up for Careerist. During the internship, they do not train you with any technical skills to be a Sales Engineer or to do a successful demo presentation. There are so many students that I have spoken with that have graduated from Careerist, and have not found jobs as Sales Engineer. They, like myself, wish we could get our money back.

I signed up and went through their course. While I didn't get a QA job, I did appreciate the introduction to a new field of work. However, my current career path is such that I will not be working QA, but they keep calling me from spoofed numbers relative to my phone's area code. I've filed a complaint with the BBB to stop the constant calls, but haven't heard any acknowledgement yet. I can't take the constant calling and blocking; I must have about 50 different spoofs blocked now. I just want the constant contact attempts to STOP!

Personally loved the Manual QA program. It's not overly difficult, but is still a challenge! You learn a lot of intro tech things and of course in depth about QA. I love QA because it has a pretty high salary and it's a challenge but not impossible to land a job – and QA is a necessary function for tech companies. And from what I see, there is a lot of career growth potential.
I think really important is the internship as this gives you enough experience to mention in interviews (and honestly there is no way to even land an interview without some experience). This really lets you jump the curb. They've helped a lot of students get jobs and really know what it takes. The questions we practiced were definitely in the interviews. My mentor helped me along the way and kept me going!
If you stick to the program and work you can really boost your income (from about 50k-75k here. – and I know people made even bigger jumps) in just 4 or 5 months.
You might be able to learn on your own - but honestly you would waste more time – and time is money. There's no way I think you would land a job this fast on your own and because they really know the industry you get your money worth.

Хорошая обучающая программа. А именно, вам помогут стать профессиональным инженером по продажам.Инструкторы и наставники оказывают всевозможную помощь, поэтому дистанционное обучение становится очень эффективным.

You ladies and gentlemen at My constant and trustpilot are really grate at your jobs,you all are nice and really helpful,

Waste of money. They over promise and waste people’s money.

This company is a total SCAM ARTIST run by scammers, upon calling them to inquire about QA education program, the rep PRANAV immediately began to argue about the price and asking for an application fee worth $800? what ? have you lost your mind, scamming and robbing students. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE BEFORE THEY SELL YOU FAKE DREAMS, I am also reporting this scammers to FBI to take a look into their financials,

Great platform if you are looking for a new job. I took the Manual QA course (class of July 2020) and the instructors and mentors were really supportive and patient. Normally I find remote learning a bit challenging, but it worked really well because of how practical and rich the program was. I feel ready to start my career in QA and considering taking the advance course (QA Automation) in the future, when I feel ready to learn some code.

Great! I don't have to search for positions and apply your CV, they do it for me. Awesome and it s cost almost nothing

I've never completed a course like this before (remote instruction) and I cannot express how great the instructor was and the overall content of the material. I would defintely recommend this to my co-workers as well as friends. I will be looking into taking more of these classes through Careerist in the near future. Thank you.

This is like a very compressed knowledge base for start. You feel that each part is precious. Even if you know some theoretical basics you can repeat them in a different way and you can fill your knowledge gaps. I've found many interesting things here - in one place. No less important is a very nice atmosphere.

I landed my first job as a QA because of this course

When they contacted me, I thought it was a scam after researching and seeing their competition. I However, can tell you that I had previous failures in technical interviews and did not have much confidence in my ability to pass them.

After going through the lessons and getting their support, They were able to turbocharge my resume, and I was able to get a lot of interviews quickly. In addition, I was able to master both the technical and behavior parts of the interview and gain the confidence to land a position.

If you want to go to the next level of your career and pass those technical interviews, give Careerist a try.

Great experience working with them. Remote tech work is my goal and they're giving me a great opportunity

I wasted my money.
I spent a large chunk of money to be trained how to do software quality assurance only to not get any job leads and they were super stubborn about getting me my exit interview. which I still never got, and I've had some company's laugh at my skills taught to me by Job easy.

A great place to start your career in technology. Well-organized approach towards the main goal. Worth investing your money. The best course by far. My dream came true. Can’t thank enough.

Very frustrating. No jobs or interviews after 4 months. Just enjoy my 499 dollars and please leave me alone. Thanks!

ISA opportunity looks great.
I've just finished learning Careerist's courses - QA one. I was choosing between some alternatives, but I've never find an opportunity with paying after result. Everything looks great. Good luck Careerist as well as good luck to me on my new work!

I was always living with a FAANG dream. I was working in middle-level company (don't want to write name) with salary about 3 times lower than NOW. Half of a year with a jobeasy and I have realized my dream.

There’s no magic bullet when it comes to finding a job, so I think people have to set their expectation right from the get go. If you want to find a job you either need to get lucky or work hard, especially during the pandemic.

What I like about careerist (so far) is that they offer “entry level” classes that don’t require coding or complicated math. I original tried studying coding, but I think it takes too long to get to a point that I’m hireable. But if I study something like technical sales or quality assurance (manual) it is pretty fast to get going and apply for jobs. I’m happy careerist offer these courses, because I can’t spend a year studying and another 6 months looking for a job.

I didn’t find a job yet but careerist team (shoutout to Julia!) helped me get an internship and my resume and LinkedIn look good. So I feel ready for applying and interviewing for jobs.
