"I joined Cultivated Culture after feeling completely frustrated with the job search process. I was overwhelmed and unsure of my next steps, but Adriana’s guidance helped me gain clarity on where I wanted to work and what my dream job truly looked like. The 1:1 coaching sessions have been the most valuable part of this program, providing me with personalized support and actionable strategies. The biggest lesson I learned was how to showcase my experience in a compelling way—through a Value Validation Project that set me apart from other candidates. The positive feedback from recruiters and hiring managers has been incredibly validating and has brought me closer than ever to landing my ideal role. Beyond the coaching, the entire DJS community has been an incredible source of encouragement and support. The way everyone leans in to uplift each other has made all the difference in my journey, and for that, I am truly grateful!"

"I was lost and had tried everything, but my job search was clearly hitting a wall. I needed support, accountability, and a framework with clear steps each week so I could actually see progress and rebuild confidence in myself. I needed a process and someone who could help me trust it. All of that (and more!) I found at Cultivated Culture, working with my coach and Austin's team. Their framework, spreadsheets, videos, materials, tips, and suggestions cut through all the noise out there and helped me focus on what really matters. They helped me learn as I went, stay grounded through the lows, and keep moving forward. It was a humbling, inspiring, and incredibly positive experience that I would recommend to anyone. Having Austin and his team in my corner was huge and helped me eventually land three offers! (And yes, I read stories like this before and didn’t believe them, but trust me… I did it!) 10/10 for them, super recommended!"

"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."

"When facing my job hunt, there were plenty of challenges. I'd given it a shot in a tough tech job market with what I'd already learned from my business graduate program and the general knowledge about networking, resumes, etc. and I wasn't seeing results. I wanted to invest in CC's coaching because I saw the rigor and time-tested best practices; I felt that this program would help me optimize and maximize my chances. I appreciated that they advocated for getting your dream job and not settling regardless of the circumstances. My main goal with my job hunt was to not have any regrets and know that I did all that I could, and I'm confident with the program's support that I did. The most valuable part of the coaching I received was the care and consistency of the support I got from my coach - he shared plenty of knowledge, wisdom, accountability and encouragement in a process that can be demoralizing at times! I'd also mention the DJS course and general CC content; there were countless nuggets of wisdom and principles that I'll continue to use throughout my career - like the "double nope". The program changed my approach to job hunting and networking for life, and I know it'll continue to pay dividends."

"When I was laid off after six years in a senior customer success role, I found myself thrown into a job market that felt totally unrecognizable. I hadn’t searched in a decade, my LinkedIn was outdated, my resume was a mess, and the job hunt felt hostile and broken. I’d been given a career service by my former employer, but it ended up wasting months of my time. The resume rewrite I paid for was generic and ineffective, and I was getting almost zero responses despite applying to hundreds of roles. That’s when I found Cultivated Culture. Austin was the first person I’d come across who clearly laid out how the job market actually works today, why it’s broken, and what strategies you need to break through. That perspective alone was game-changing. And within just two days of working with Adriana, my resume was dramatically better than what I had gotten from an entire team elsewhere. The structured coaching, real-time access to someone who deeply understands the market, and clear strategies made all the difference. The networking strategy was especially helpful, as was the interview prep. which gave me the tools to craft compelling, personalized answers and a strong narrative I could feel proud of. Being able to bring those drafts to my coach and get direct, actionable feedback took things to the next level. Honestly, Cultivated Culture did more for me in two weeks than traditional career services did in two months. I finally felt like I wasn’t alone in the search, I had a team that understood the market and had my back."

"The biggest challenge I was facing in my job hunt was networking. I just didn't know how to do it, what to say, how to reach out, etc...The success stories of other students made it very easy for me to give the coaching program a try! The most valuable part of the course for me has been the LinkedIn profile buildout and the network strategies. The network strategies in particular have given me a new skill set! If I need to, I now know how to reach out to anyone from any company and what to say to introduce myself. This skill set alone is worth the price of the program!"
