"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."

"Working with Cultivated Culture was easily one of the highest-leverage decisions I made in this transition. I was stepping into my first real interview process in 8+ years, and my first time ever navigating a negotiation that actually mattered. Cultivated Culture closed that gap. What stood out wasn’t just the advice, it was the clarity and timing of it. At each stage, they helped me focus on the moves that actually mattered, cut through noise, and approach the process more strategically. And their “light touch” accountability was exactly that, enough to keep momentum without ever feeling forced. The résumé feedback was also incredibly detailed and practical, it helped me sharpen how I articulate my value in a way that actually lands. End result: I showed up more confident, more prepared, and far more effective when it counted, and ultimately landed and accepted a great offer."

"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 came into this program having already coached hundreds of people through their job searches. I knew resumes and cover letters inside out. What I hadn't cracked was the closed job market, and that's where everything falls apart if you don't know the rules. Austin gave me the framework: research the company, find the pain point, build everything around that. I landed my dream role as a regional lead supporting a youth employment program, and now I can actually teach my own clients how to do the same thing, which I couldn't before."

"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."

"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."
