"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."

"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 I hadn’t searched in a decade, my LinkedIn was outdated, my resume was a mess, and the job hunt felt hostile and broken.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."

"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!"

"Earlier this year, I was determined to make a career move to the United States while still employed in Germany. When I first signed up, my biggest challenge was navigating a career transition to a completely new geography. I wasn’t sure how to reposition my experience, how to build a U.S.-aligned job search strategy, and frankly, how to keep my confidence intact amidst so much change. A few months into the journey, things became even more complex when I lost my job in Germany due to shifting geopolitical and economic conditions. Suddenly, I was not only steering my career transition but also managing visa risks and financial uncertainty. Through it all, Adriana was a constant anchor. She didn’t just give me job search tools, she gave me perspective, encouragement, and speed when I needed it most. Every time I reached out, she responded quickly with resources, fresh ideas, and new angles I hadn’t considered. She reminded me of wins I had overlooked and helped me reframe challenges into opportunities. I truly valued our camaraderie, I could share my fears, failures, and dreams with her, and she always held space with kindness and grace. Three of the biggest strategies that directly helped me land my new role were: 1: Personalized outreach and networking, I built authentic relationships and opened doors I wouldn’t have reached otherwise. 2: Creative storytelling in applications; from tailored resumes to innovative pitches, I learned how to showcase my value beyond traditional formats. 3: Resilience and mindset shift; guided by Adriana’s support, I stayed grounded and motivated even during setbacks, which made me consistent in my job search. I am extremely grateful to Adriana for her knowledge, her grasp of the profession, her kindness, and her timely support. I’ve already recommended her to others, and I would happily do so again, whether you’re starting your career, navigating a change, or aiming for a new environment. Adriana is resourceful, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in your success. I also highly recommend Cultivated Culture as a platform. I plan to stay engaged with the community and the Wednesday check-ins to continue learning. This journey has shown me the power of structured coaching paired with genuine human support, and Adriana embodies both."

"Adriana was wonderful in coaching me through my professional career change. She taught me so much about how to structure my CV, how to highlight my experience on LinkedIn, how to be concise but impactful and ultimately all her experience and the program suggestions help me land my dream role at Google! I even got the job offered during the interview. Thank you so much for all the support! "

"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."
