What our clients say...

"When I was first referred to Career Shift I was nervous about where my new career would lead. I honestly did not hold much hope of finding a positive outcome. How wrong was I! From my first meeting at Career Shift I was greeted by a cheerful, caring and very goal driven team of professionals.

Due to great guidance from the Career Shift team, I have discovered a new career path in Outdoor Education. Career Shift listened to my keen interest in working outdoors and being active utilising my survival, hiking, abseiling, high ropes and general farming skills. I am now mentoring youth to improve their lives and teaching valuable problem solving strategies as an Outdoor Educator."

Kris

"Career Shift helped me to clarify my future vocational goal and took away the concerns that I had of being stuck in an administration role due to an injury gained through physical training. Career Shift pointed out that I could work in a role that met my interests, physical capacity and analytical focus, with this in mind I soon identified that OH&S was a career that interested me and had vast opportunities for growth.

Career Shift then helped me to identify the right level of training to gain entry to this field and secured an amazing host employment opportunity with Alphapharm where I will gain in-depth work experience."

Lee

"After discharging from the Army as a Rifleman, I gained approval to participate in a transition program to re-enter the civilian market. During my program, Career Shift provided me with professional career guidance, review of training options, labour market research for earning potential, a transition CV, cover letters and canvassed and re-canvassed employers around the country.

As a result, I am now employed as an Integrated Rating within the maritime industry. I could not be happier with this outcome and I continue to remain in contact with Career Shift and recommend their services without reservation."

Ben

"When I first left the Army I had no idea what I would like to do next. I was floating around temporary, uninteresting jobs and getting more and more frustrated as time went on, but with the help of Career Shift I not only gained permanent, full time employment in a large multi-national company, but I have begun a career in a field I love.

Career Shift helped by giving me tailored job seeking advice based on my skills, personality and preferences. Career Shift also created an outstanding resume and even contacted potential employers on my behalf. I don't know where I would be without Career Shift."
