"I am a consulting manager in a public accounting firm. I came to Cultivated Culture as I had no luck in blindly applying to jobs. I was wanting to break into corporate finance and switch to an industry role. My coach and Cultivated Culture have been nothing but wonderful to work with! My coach was an exceptional listener and has made this entire process so easy for me. His advice truly made a big difference in my search. Thanks to him and his team, I landed my dream job at Amazon Operations Finance with a pay bump that I am so thrilled about! Thank you!"

"I am a consultant who was laid off in a workforce reduction following an acquisition. After taking stock, I decided to make a career pivot into change management. My job search lasted well over a year, and during that time I worked with three different career coaches. Because I was shifting away from previous roles, I didn’t have the job titles recruiters were looking for, which made the transition challenging. One of my coaches frequently referred to Austin Belcak’s method as the “gold standard” in career strategy. After many months of frustration, I decided to adopt the “gold standard” and make the self-investment in Cultivated Culture. In addition to their data-driven networking approach, I was impressed by the depth of their resources—especially the structured, practical tools for crafting strong interview responses. I also received a thorough, thoughtful revision of my résumé and LinkedIn profile, and almost immediately began receiving increased interest from recruiters. The highlight of my experience with Cultivated Culture, however, was working with Adriana Hidalgo as my career coach. Her dependable, timely feedback and supportive approach helped me stay on the path during an often discouraging process. Whenever I needed help refining emails, her edits and suggestions were consistently spot-on. I’m happy to share that I recently accepted an exciting new role—with a substantial increase in compensation—and Cultivated Culture played a meaningful part in helping me get there."

"I had an excellent experience with Cultivated Culture. After months of traditional job searching, their unique approach was a game-changer - it was refreshing and effective. My coach was incredibly attentive, taking detailed notes and providing insightful feedback that truly elevated my application materials. The CEO, Austin, also went above and beyond. He genuinely cares about all his clients and took the time to help me create a specific plan tailored to my goals. The program was awesome, the people were awesome, and the entire experience was awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new job."

"I work in the people space and consider myself to be a solid coach. The coaching I received throughout this program has been stellar. I enjoyed every session with Adriana. This process can be challenging, not only in tactical assignments, but emotionally as well. Adriana never let me forget what I deserve and how hard I've worked. I wasn't expecting this level of coaching, and it made the program for me. I had my last session this week and while I'm sad I won't have my time with my coach, I'm excited and confident with my next moves and know that the support is still there. Fantastic program. I've learned so much not only about my dream job, but myself, as well. *William asked us to use a pseudonym and stock image for privacy purposes.*"

"My biggest challenge when it came to the job search was that I was doing exactly what everyone else was: applying to 100+ applications, waiting to hear back, adjusting my resume constantly, and maybe getting 1 or 2 phone screens a month to positions that didn't even align with my goals and values. I finally decided to pull the trigger and invest in myself and signed up for the CC coaching program.  The most valuable part of the course for me was the consistent support from my coach. He was extremely knowledgeable through every step of the process and had great advice and recommendations as I had to consistently navigate difficulties. There was also a ton of value that I gained from the DJS course as well, especially the VVP. At the end of the day, I really think that going the extra distance and creating a specifically-tailored project to present to the hiring team to address their current challenges or showcase specific skills I have was the final push to get my interview to an offer. Overall, I'm forever indebted to the CC team and wouldn't be where I am today without their help. The course, mentorship, and overall professionalism and expertise is priceless and if you're willing to continue to put in the work, you will be successful and get to where you want (and deserve!) to be."

"I work in Corporate Finance. I was laid off for the first time prior to starting with Cultivated Culture, and it really shook my confidence. I struggled reaching out to contacts and getting past just applying on LinkedIn and hoping for the best. My partner used Cultivated Culture in the past, and the Dream Job System got him out of a slump and into a job that jump started his current career. I decided to go with the extra step of coaching to keep myself accountable and also have a third party sounding board. The most valuable part of coaching for me was how much tools like ChatGPT can be utilized to revamp your resume, LinkedIn, create cover letters, and VVPs. I always saw AI as a crutch, but in reality it just streamlines and saves so much time. The content is still yours, ChatGPT just pushes it that extra mile. The three biggest strategies I used were: reaching out to hiring managers after applying to make sure I was top of mind, looking at company employees to see how long of a tenure they had, if they were getting promoted, etc, and finding that balance of personal and professional narratives when interviewing. I would not have landed the position I currently have without their help and support."
