"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."

"Cultivated Culture's coaching system resonated with me as I landed all of my career opportunities over the last 17 years through networking. That said, I was looking to branch out and explore tangential industries and needed a different mindset/approach. My coach expertly guided me to develop my criteria for evaluating career opportunities, pushed me to dive deeper into my brand, and served as an objective sounding board for the second half of my career. Highly recommend CC if your looking for a career coach who is an active listener and who is going to challenge you (in a good way) to dive deeper into career aspirations."

"I have been following Austin's LinkedIn posts and blogs for years before signing up for the coaching program. I appreciate the fact that the program has taught me a very important lesson that I can apply to any type of relationship building (beyond job hunting). The lesson is relationship building works best when you shift from the mentality of "can you be nice and do this for me?" to "what I can do for you? what challenges can I help you with?". Focus on understanding the other party's needs and challenges and how you can help them solve their problems pays off in the long run. This program really drives the point home."

"Working with Cultivated Culture was easily one of the highest-leverage decisions I made in this transition. I was stepping into my first real interview process in 8+ years, and my first time ever navigating a negotiation that actually mattered. Cultivated Culture closed that gap. What stood out wasn’t just the advice, it was the clarity and timing of it. At each stage, they helped me focus on the moves that actually mattered, cut through noise, and approach the process more strategically. And their “light touch” accountability was exactly that, enough to keep momentum without ever feeling forced. The résumé feedback was also incredibly detailed and practical, it helped me sharpen how I articulate my value in a way that actually lands. End result: I showed up more confident, more prepared, and far more effective when it counted, and ultimately landed and accepted a great offer."

"I partnered with Cultivated Culture after exhausting a few other coaches and simply having an "aha" moment after connecting the Cultivated Culture team. I didn't initially realize how much I needed a program until I started learning things that I didn't know I needed in today's world of job searching. Working with my coach has given me the confidence to reach out to people blindly to network and has also prepared me for interviewing and anything else that has come my way. Having the modules is especially helpful as I can always go back to them when I need a refresher! Thank you for putting together such an inclusive program that has gotten me up to speed after being out of the loop for some time."

"I am early in my career and was navigating a pivot, which made it challenging to clearly position my experience and feel confident in my job search. The guidance I received helped me refine my story, apply more strategically, and approach networking and interviews with clarity. As a result, I started landing interviews that aligned with my goals and ultimately secured a role I was intentionally working toward. The coaching gave me structure, confidence, and direction during a critical point in my career."
