"Before I found Cultivated Culture, I was feeling stuck and frustrated in my job search. Despite having over a decade of HSE experience and tailoring countless applications, I was barely getting interview calls. I was really struggling to stand out and navigate the Canadian job market effectively. Working with my coach Adriana completely changed the game for me. She helped me shift my focus from just applying online to building real connections and showcasing my value through tailored outreach and value validation projects. Her guidance on how to position my international experience and align it with Canadian industry expectations was incredibly impactful. That led to a renewed sense of confidence, higher response rates from hiring managers, and a more strategic, data-driven approach to my job search."

"I was navigating the challenges of working in a niche market. One of my biggest hurdles was crafting a resume that truly captured the complexity and impact of my job functions. To make matters tougher, I was stuck in a toxic work environment with a boss who made staying in the job intolerable. I knew I needed a fast and effective strategy to jumpstart my career search. That’s when I turned to Cultivated Culture for coaching. The guidance I received helped me identify the right employers to approach, and I even built a personal website to showcase my projects clearly and effectively... The process took about six months and the results were worth it. I landed a role with a $35k raise and found a much healthier work environment. This journey reinforced a powerful lesson: the way you present your technical skills directly defines your value. A huge shout out to Forrest for helping me reflect my expertise in a way that truly resonated with employers! If you’re in a similar spot, remember: your skills have value—sometimes you just need the right tools and guidance to highlight them."

"A “squiggly career” probably best defines my professional path as a generalist, having worked across many (albeit related) industries and roles in my 20s and early 30s. The challenge I faced in my job search—following a postgraduate degree and relocating back to the UK post-pandemic—was navigating a newly stratified workplace, where job descriptions had become more specialized. Additionally, as a mid-career professional, I also encountered the challenge of workforce juniorization. Through very thoughtful sessions with Forrest, along with the online material provided by Austin, we crafted a strategy that was clever, well-evidenced, and ultimately worked like a charm. I cannot recommend this course highly enough if finding a great job is important to you—you are in very good hands."

"I’m a digital marketer focused on transitioning from corporate to a high-impact startup role where I’m compensated for the real value I drive, with over five years of experience managing large-scale growth and performance programs. When I signed up for coaching, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to truly stand out with my resume, build meaningful relationships through networking, and clearly identify what a genuinely great opportunity looked like so I could commit to it fully instead of second-guessing myself. At 27, I knew I deserved more and didn’t want to stay in my role forever—I felt strongly that I needed a strategic pivot to put my career on the right long-term path, but in a tough job market I wasn’t confident I knew what actually worked, so I invested in Cultivated Culture for the accountability, structure, and guidance of experts who had successfully helped hundreds of people do exactly what I was trying to do. The most valuable part of the coaching for me was learning that networking is ultimately the foundation of any strong career and that it needs to be an ongoing, intentional practice, not something you only turn on when you’re actively job hunting."

"I work in advertising as a marketing manager and account lead. In my job search I struggled to find clarity and had "dream job" ideas but didn't understand how to get there. I was discouraged in my search and felt like I had no one I could ask questions to or depend on.  After some frustrations, I decided to invest in the program. I had followed Austin for years and used some of his strategies in my interviews but never landed an offer.  Working with Adriana was more than a game changer. She was thoughtful, proactive, and extremely experienced. She helped challenge me to do my best. I thought I was a strong interviewer, she helped me identify blind spots and win multiple offers! I would recommend her and this program to anyone who feels stuck. "
