"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."

"I'm a marketing professional with experience in customer retention, omni-channel campaigns, and conversion optimization. I specialize in developing data-driven marketing strategies that nurture customers throughout their journey. My biggest challenge was prioritizing tasks and coming up with a strategy to target specific companies that offered both competitive compensation and growth opportunities. I needed expert guidance to navigate the market efficiently and effectively. The most valuable aspects of Adriana's coaching were her approach to overall target company strategy and offer negotiations. Her guidance helped me leverage the offers I received into a better overall compensation package. Her ability to provide real-time feedback during critical moments of my search was invaluable."

"Cultivated Culture was very helpful, I was able to receive a 68% salary increase with their help. I get anxious and lacked confidence, my coach 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 proof!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."
