"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 I hadn’t searched in a decade, my LinkedIn was outdated, my resume was a mess, and the job hunt felt hostile and broken.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."

"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!"

"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."

"Before discovering Cultivated Culture, I felt stuck in my job search in a challenging job market. Partnering with my coach, Adriana, was transformative. She helped me in crafting a compelling narrative around my career goals, tailoring my resume and LinkedIn profile to resonate with potential employers. Through insightful mock interviews and personalized feedback, she helped me refine my personal brand and develop a clear strategy for my search. Thanks to her guidance, I succeeded in securing a role that perfectly aligns with my aspirations. I am incredibly grateful to Cultivated Culture for their excellent support and expertise. *Monalisa asked us to use an avatar as her headshot*"

"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, Forrest, 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 and Forrest to anyone starting or going through the job search."
