"I joined Cultivated Culture after feeling completely frustrated with the job search process. I was overwhelmed and unsure of my next steps, but Adriana’s guidance helped me gain clarity on where I wanted to work and what my dream job truly looked like. The 1:1 coaching sessions have been the most valuable part of this program, providing me with personalized support and actionable strategies. The biggest lesson I learned was how to showcase my experience in a compelling way—through a Value Validation Project that set me apart from other candidates. The positive feedback from recruiters and hiring managers has been incredibly validating and has brought me closer than ever to landing my ideal role. Beyond the coaching, the entire DJS community has been an incredible source of encouragement and support. The way everyone leans in to uplift each other has made all the difference in my journey, and for that, I am truly grateful!"

"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."

" Forrest was very helpful, I was able to receive a 68% salary increase with his help. I get anxious and lacked confidence, he was there for me every step of the way to provide much needed guidance. The methodology really works! If you follow the guidance, results will show, I am the proof."

"I was navigating the challenges of working in a niche market. One of my biggest hurdles was crafting a resume that truly captured the complexity and impact of my job functions. To make matters tougher, I was stuck in a toxic work environment with a boss who made staying in the job intolerable. I knew I needed a fast and effective strategy to jumpstart my career search. That’s when I turned to Cultivated Culture for coaching. The guidance I received helped me identify the right employers to approach, and I even built a personal website to showcase my projects clearly and effectively... The process took about six months and the results were worth it. I landed a role with a $35k raise and found a much healthier work environment. This journey reinforced a powerful lesson: the way you present your technical skills directly defines your value. A huge shout out to Forrest for helping me reflect my expertise in a way that truly resonated with employers! If you’re in a similar spot, remember: your skills have value—sometimes you just need the right tools and guidance to highlight them."

"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."
