"The biggest challenge I was facing was landing interviews for jobs that I was interested in. I didn't understand why I kept being overlooked, so I turned to Cultivated Culture for help. My coach walked me through my resume and helped me update it to highlight my accomplishments at my prior jobs with defined results. No longer was I just listing out my responsibilities, but rather showing the value that I would bring to the companies that I was applying to. With my updated resume and the tools and resources provided in the program, I received a job offer at my top company!"

"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."

"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 am a digital/product designer with over 6 years of experience helping B2B/B2C/e-commerce companies from building digital products to marketing them. I was with my previous company for 4.5 years due to the work visa, and I have been out of the job market for a while. When I was laid off, I felt overwhelmed and struggled to keep up with my job search in 2025. I joined a 2-week cohort with another career coach, but I feel helpless afterward. During the job search, I have had numerous questions about various situations. I decided to join Cultivate Culture because of the clarity Austin provided in building my career. And, the job guarantees commitment in the contract. My coach was sympathetic and gave me clear directions to optimize my materials. He is the best! I also emailed Adriana questions while my coach was on leave. She provided me with great answers and support as well. The cultivated culture has professional coaches. I recommend the team 10 out of 10. The program helped enhance my resume by incorporating mini-case study bullet points, clarifying my strengths and achievements using the Task -> Outcome -> Impact structure. It provided insights on optimizing my LinkedIn profile, including the cover photo, endorsements, and experience sections. I learned the importance of crafting specific outreach messages to improve networking success. Additionally, I gained valuable strategies for interview preparation, emphasizing the importance of researching interviewers and asking meaningful questions. Overall, the program has made me feel supported and less isolated in my journey."

"After the last project I produced had a disappointing commercial release, I found myself in an extended period of unemployment. I was stuck and frustrated with where my career had seemingly stalled, and I was increasingly disheartened and confused by the lack of traction I was getting in my job search. I decided to sign up for Cultivated Culture and hire a coach because I wanted expert advice and strategy to break through the deadlock. My coach, Adriana, was able to provide me with a solid framework and strategy in not only finding my target companies, but in customizing my resume, tracking my progress, and building a Value Validation Project to distinguish myself from other applicants in a very congested industry. By far, the most valuable part of the coaching was to have an ally in the hunt and have access to a community of fellow job seekers that were willing to support my efforts and provide any strategy and tips that they could along the way. The networking strategies, AI prompts, LinkedIn optimization, and guidance around a Value Validation Project were all invaluable strategies for me in securing a new full-time position. I would highly recommend Cultivated Culture's coaching, and can say with confidence that I would still be in a frustrated and stagnant place if it wasn’t for the framework, diligent support, and guidance provided through the coaching program."

"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!"
