Jobtest.org Avis 

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.

I discovered jobtest.org after seeing an ad for a similar service and searching reviews for it. I've always felt that I could do so much more than what I have up to now. I've worked basic jobs for basic pay, and most recently found a decent warehouse job. I still feel like I'm missing something in my career life and I feel like jobtest.org has helped me see my potential. Reading through the reports and learning that there are multiple opportunities for me not only made my day, it fuels me to set higher goals and keep working on myself to achieve them.

I had such a great experience working with Erin Howard. She is a wonderful listener, she is personable and friendly, down-to-earth, and professional. She offered constructive solutions to my questions, and was an absolute delight to work with. I would recommend Erin wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

So far I'm really liking this site! It's helping me to drill down with my skills to figure out a career change. The test was quick and very easy to navigate. Highly recommend!

I am very satisfied with the detailed analysis I received from the company. The report provided helped me to look at other careers as a possible next chapter. I wanted to know what other type of work would be a great fit for my personality, skill set and qualifications. Jobtest.org does a great job of presenting you with options you may not have considered based upon those criteria and others.

I came across Jobtest.org after a stunning rejection from an organization I had been with for over a decade. After all my years of hard work and dedication I just wasn't advancing. I got to the point where I just couldn't take it anymore, but I had no idea which way to go. My job coach, Linda, really took the time to get to know me and talked through so many details with me. She helped me figure out the best direction to go in, and helped me polish up my resume so I could start putting myself out there for jobs. It took longer than I wanted it to, but it's finally all coming together. I left my teaching job last week after 16 years. Monday I start my new career in Real Estate! I can't wait! I am so grateful to my job coach for helping me navigate this transition!

From the initial test to the coaching I’ve received, I’ve always had a positive experience. My coach is professional, insightful, trustworthy, and just a really nice person. The coaching I’m receiving is making a difference.

The details in the results provided an outside perspective that truly helped me not feel so narrow-minded about my experience and the space I may know but do not want to be in forever.

Very thorough questions and analysis. Helped immensely in my career change, just with free reports

Nothing is more annoying than completing/providing data to someone and them not disclosing the pricing first. Regardless if the data is “destroyed” there should be full disclosure and consenting first. Sorta basic rights…

The coaching process with Coach Linda Leake has far exceeded my expectations. Her approach to writing my resume, updating my LinkedIn Profile, and interview coaching has been top-notch. Prior to working with Linda, I had not received a single interview. Within a week of receiving my finalized resume, I received multiple. I recommend JobTest and Coach Linda Leake to anyone who needs help during their transition period.

It is a bait and switch. You have to pay for results.

Most sites provide the test. Jobtest's assessment was an easy yet comprehensive experience. Personal interests, personality, and career options were seamlessly integrated in the questions asked, along with research supporting some of the responses. It was very personalized and human-centric. As I waited for my responses to load, I was engaged by a coach who explained the process and next steps. Then, the free report provided great information to begin my personal exploration. The site provides resources and tips to help along the career journey.

Jobtest Coach Linda Leake has been invaluable in helping me navigate my career transition. Her wealth of recruiting experience and her honest, no-nonsense advice have enabled me to quickly adapt to the modern job market. Thanks to her mentoring, I'm shaping the next chapter of my career with clarity and confidence.

It was a very accurate overlook at my strengths and weaknesses as a worker. It opened a lot of ideas for jobs I never considered. It was easy and efficient.tons of resources.

I have met with Shannon Ring for several months now, and I cannot think of a better suited individual for this job title. She has been a wonderful mentor and coach during my career search! Her love of helping others truly shines through, and I cannot emphasize how helpful she has been during this entire process!

I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into but I just kept going step by step which led me to a coaching session with Erin. She was super positive and encouraging and helped me identify some immediate steps to take. She gave me the encouragement I needed to begin taking some action toward a new job direction. I found the personality test to be affirming and the jobtest job suggestions to be eye opening.
