"One of the biggest challenges for me in job hunting is how overwhelming it all is. I felt so unmotivated. My coach worked as the perfect accountability buddy. As someone uniquely acquainted with the hiring process, he helped me break down my to-do list in a way that made it more manageable. Together we perfected my resume and LinkedIn and did a mock interview to get me started again. He was also a sanity check and a voice of compassion when I was overthinking outreach and rejections. It helps to have someone who knows what it looks like on the hiring side of things. The most valuable part of coaching was having someone to report to and give me feedback on my outreach emails, resume, interview answers, as well as answer my questions no matter how silly they seemed. I'd absolutely recommend this program."

"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."

"I was lost and had tried everything, but my job search was clearly hitting a wall. I needed support, accountability, and a framework with clear steps each week so I could actually see progress and rebuild confidence in myself. I needed a process and someone who could help me trust it. All of that (and more!) I found at Cultivated Culture, working with my coach and Austin's team. Their framework, spreadsheets, videos, materials, tips, and suggestions cut through all the noise out there and helped me focus on what really matters. They helped me learn as I went, stay grounded through the lows, and keep moving forward. It was a humbling, inspiring, and incredibly positive experience that I would recommend to anyone. Having Austin and his team in my corner was huge and helped me eventually land three offers! (And yes, I read stories like this before and didn’t believe them, but trust me… I did it!) 10/10 for them, super recommended!"

"I am a consultant who was laid off in a workforce reduction following an acquisition. After taking stock, I decided to make a career pivot into change management. My job search lasted well over a year, and during that time I worked with three different career coaches. Because I was shifting away from previous roles, I didn’t have the job titles recruiters were looking for, which made the transition challenging. One of my coaches frequently referred to Austin Belcak’s method as the “gold standard” in career strategy. After many months of frustration, I decided to adopt the “gold standard” and make the self-investment in Cultivated Culture. In addition to their data-driven networking approach, I was impressed by the depth of their resources—especially the structured, practical tools for crafting strong interview responses. I also received a thorough, thoughtful revision of my résumé and LinkedIn profile, and almost immediately began receiving increased interest from recruiters. The highlight of my experience with Cultivated Culture, however, was working with Adriana Hidalgo as my career coach. Her dependable, timely feedback and supportive approach helped me stay on the path during an often discouraging process. Whenever I needed help refining emails, her edits and suggestions were consistently spot-on. I’m happy to share that I recently accepted an exciting new role—with a substantial increase in compensation—and Cultivated Culture played a meaningful part in helping me get there."

"Adriana was wonderful in coaching me through my professional career change. She taught me so much about how to structure my CV, how to highlight my experience on LinkedIn, how to be concise but impactful and ultimately all her experience and the program suggestions help me land my dream role at Google! I even got the job offered during the interview. Thank you so much for all the support! "

"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."
