"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."

"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."

"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 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. "

"I would describe myself as an Economist or Economic Analyst. Most of these positions are in the public sector. Due to the situation at my government agency, I realized that I needed to target a transition to the private sector, but I have very little previous private sector experience. I knew the current job market environment was a tough one, and I needed to use some different methods to stand out. I chose Cultivated Culture because I really liked the part about not just applying to a bunch of positions online. I liked that laying the groundwork with career clarity, company research, cold networking, and Value Validation Projects were all ways that I could stand out from the crowd. By receiving the coaching, reviewing the training modules, and implementing the strategies and techniques I learned, I received an offer for a Fair Lending Analyst at a large bank. And when I received the offer, I already knew the company's values aligned with mine because I had completed the research up front. Finally, the biggest long-term lesson I have learned from Cultivated Culture is that networking is a lifelong tenet, similar to learning or exercise, and it does not stop when you receive an offer. Relationship building makes it easier to find that next opportunity, especially when you least expect it!"

"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."
