"I have been following Austin's LinkedIn posts and blogs for years before signing up for the coaching program. I appreciate the fact that the program has taught me a very important lesson that I can apply to any type of relationship building (beyond job hunting). The lesson is relationship building works best when you shift from the mentality of "can you be nice and do this for me?" to "what I can do for you? what challenges can I help you with?". Focus on understanding the other party's needs and challenges and how you can help them solve their problems pays off in the long run. This program really drives the point home."

"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. "

"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 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. I worked with Forrest. He was sympathetic and gave me clear directions to optimize my materials. He is the best! I also emailed Adriana questions while Forrest 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."

"One of the best programs out there to get you a job with real structure, proper planning, and true confidence. This program will prepare you so well for your interviews, projects, and salary negotiations that you'll think you've just gone through a bootcamp on life's most important skill: clearly communicating your value to get the income you truly deserve. I'm a Data Engineer who decided to go back into Accounting to pursue his CPA. Originally, I started my career as a Financial Auditor, then transitioned into the Data Science field as a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer (think Python, SQL, PowerBI, Tableau, Machine Learning, etc). After 2 years of greatness and several not so good moments and an unemployment period that seems to last forever, I decided to join Cultivated Culture. Adriana welcomed me right away and made me feel right at home. She has the ability to make you feel comfortable and cared for as a person every time you're on a coaching call with her. I appreciate how organized Adriana was for every call. There were clear expectations before and after each call, so I always knew what to do.  And of course, the Weekly Coaching calls added extra support to my eventual success. The support is second to none here at Cultivated Culture. I had several rounds of final interviewing before landing my current role. During one of them, after going through 3+ weeks of preparation, 30-60-180 Day planning, and interviewing, I did not get the final offer... I felt sad, frustrated, and ready to give up. But Adriana and the entire community helped me through that tough period. I got back up and prepared again. Several rounds of interviewing later, I landed my current job, and I was so happy! Thank you Adriana, Forrest, Austin, Taylor, and the whole Cultivated Culture community for what you do daily. I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart."
