Comfortable payment plan
I couldn’t afford the full tuition fee upfront. I asked several course providers to offer personalized payment plans for me and Careerist offered the most comfortable option. After completing the system engineering course, I got my first job rather easily but left it in two months. It took me 11 weeks to find a perfect job enabling me become a digital nomad. I feel free and happy now. - Emmanuel MondragonGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineAug 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Max was awesome, during the course it got confusing. He had patience and helped me understand the topic clearly. My suggestion is to ask the instructors for help, don't be scared to ask.

I’m currently in the external internship phase. Careerist has done an amazing job going step by step with me, gaining the knowledge to become a player in this tech world. I started with no clue, and now I’m close to being able to apply and land a work from home job. Family and traveling is something I’ve always wanted to do.

IMHO, Job Application Service is more helpful than job boards
I chose Careerist because of its custom Job Application Service. I saw how my cousin used it and I decided I wanted it too. I studied manual QA and thanks to JAS, I finally got a job. I sent around 40 applications and had two job interviews before finding my current employer.
