JobShadowHQ

JobShadowHQ is a web + mobile AI-assisted platform that lets people “test drive” roles through structured, real-world shadowing simulations and short projects. Instead of vague day-in-the-life videos, it offers role-specific task packs (e.g., write a SQL query from a messy prompt, triage a customer escalation, draft a PRD) sourced from vetted professionals and employers. Users complete tasks in 30–90 minutes, then get rubric-based feedback, time-to-complete benchmarks, and a realistic fit score (interest, aptitude, tolerance for role pain points). The app also shows common career paths into the role, required baseline skills, and what entry-level hiring managers actually screen for. It’s not a magic career changer—most people will still need months of learning—but it prevents costly mis-switches by exposing the unglamorous parts early.
