Careerist Reviews 2023

 

A review of 2023with Careerist’s cofounder Max Glubochansky 

Max Glubochansky will reflect on the year that has just passed, or 2021, in this interview. He'll discuss some significant developments that took place, the development of teams, and what the future holds for Careerist. Let's begin straight away!

What was the last year like for Careerist?

Well, this past year has seen exponential growth. And the reason for that is that in only the last four months, more than 200 graduates secured employment in 27 different states. This is more than ever before, and it demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach.

Our graduates are employed by more than 400 organizations in 37 different states as a whole.

We make every effort to look after our graduates, and one way we've achieved this is by appointing mentors and trainers who have practical experience as instructors. We want tutors to be able to respond to inquiries utilizing their knowledge and experiences.

Additionally, we've grown the team that assists grads with job applications. As a result, recruiters contact our grads more frequently. These responses then assist in demonstrating to our students the value of finishing our course(s).

Has 2023 been a great year for you too?

I think this year has been successful for me as well as for many of our graduates since Careerist is a part of who I am. As a team, we are always excited to see the fruits of our labor, and we are thrilled when one of our graduates secures a high-paying position in the field.

In February 2023, ‘Job Easy’ became ‘Careerist’. Why did you choose to rebrand the company?

We learned that the moniker "Job Easy" was occasionally misunderstood and wasn't always taken seriously as Job Easy evolved and began to draw more people. And, I suppose, we reasoned that some potential employers might not take some of our grads seriously if they included the moniker "Job Easy" on their résumé.

Within a few hours, we had chosen a new name. We also came up with a new domain name that sounded similar to "jobeasy.ai." We wanted this one since we anticipated focusing on artificial intelligence in the future. After some time, we stopped pursuing this notion. Not all of our prospective customers liked the domain.

In the end, we decided that "Careerist" was the best option.

After extensive deliberation, we determined that this name best reflected our beliefs because it refers to an IT career and demonstrates our concern for ours.

Our alumni typically land jobs within a few months of graduating, so their experiences are generally comparable. Graduates can obtain employment in three to four months if they follow the recommendations. The resources—I mean time and effort—of those who disregard the advice are wasted.

Five percent of jobless individuals have issues with either their English proficiency or obtaining a visa. Some graduates have difficulty picking up certain soft skills, but we always do our best to assist them. Additionally, there are also outside-of-our-control variables that make it difficult for graduates to find employment. For instance, if someone starts crying during an interview, we can't do anything about it right now, but we may afterward think back on it and draw lessons from it.

But I do recall one individual, and she shared her tale a week ago.

She was only a high school graduate when she first came to us at the age of 56 and had no prior experience with technology. She recently obtained a job in Chicago, earning $85,000 a year, along with all the benefits and income you could hope for. The annual compensation is around $97,000 in total. She also works from her California home remotely.

I don't find it odd to hear stories of this nature. Her background, age, and what she has accomplished in such a short time, however, are what really stuck out to me.

The idea that computer jobs are only for young people has been disproved by the woman you just described. Do you often hear tales like hers?

I want to emphasize that our graduates can work at any age. It makes no difference if they are 19 or 60. The issue is confidence, not age.

Yes, many businesses favor hiring young people between the ages of 25 and 35, but because we educate everyone equally, age doesn't really matter. Everyone is treated equally. In class, anyone may raise a question, and everyone may participate in the discussion. It doesn't matter whether you're 29 or 55, actually!

Of course, having access to a laptop and a smartphone is a plus.

What does 2023 look like for Careerist?

Because there are more jobs available in the tech industry than ever before, we have great expectations for the upcoming year.

We'll begin offering new courses in 2023 that cover the fresh subject matter. We wish to assist more people in finding employment in a variety of fields, including system engineering, sales engineering, and other fields.

The fact that more than 200 people have found employment in the past several months gives us a lot of inspiration. In 2023, we want to keep working to help thousands of people find employment and a place in the world.

In your opinion, how will the tech field develop over the next year?

I guess that as new sectors emerge, the quality assurance industry will need to grow and advance.

Before, we tested things on phones and websites, but now people are working on self-driving cars, flying cars, Siri and Alexa systems, as well as new virtual and augmented reality gadgets.

In other words, things that we previously didn't use as much are suddenly coming to the fore. And as a result, new jobs and possibilities to use the most recent technology enter the market.
