"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!"

"Despite having 10 years of experience and an MBA, I was applying to jobs left and right and barely getting any interviews. I knew I was qualified, but I felt like I was hitting a wall and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. On top of that, I was moving my job search to Amsterdam, which meant starting from scratch with a new network, since most of my connections were in the U.S. That’s when I came across Austin’s posts on LinkedIn. Even just applying the advice he shared on there made a noticeable difference. So I decided to take it a step further and invest in Cultivated Culture. I needed a program that would keep me focused, organized and give me a clear framework to follow. I also wanted personalized feedback on my resume, interview prep and a real person to answer my questions. My coach,was awesome! He was smart, responsive and genuinely supportive every step of the way. Thanks to this program, I transitioned from working at a museum to landing a job in tech, without compromising on the role, compensation, or the kind of work I wanted to do. I highly recommend Cultivated Culture to anyone starting or going through the job search."

"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 my coach, 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."

"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."

"The biggest change in the job hunt was preparing for tech interviews coming from a management consulting background and “closing” with an upbeat and informative description of past experiences. My coach was an outstanding! He was responsive, attentive and gave me real advice that upped my game and helped get the offer! He also offered great feedback with a tight turnaround in an intensive process. I think he accurately identified areas of improvement to beat out very tough competition for a position with Amazon, representing a life-changing increase in base salary."

"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."
