"I was laid off from my job at a startup right before New Years. Cultivated Culture's strategies helped me land a new job as a Marketing Director in under 3 weeks."

"I work in Corporate Finance. I was laid off for the first time prior to starting with Cultivated Culture, and it really shook my confidence. I struggled reaching out to contacts and getting past just applying on LinkedIn and hoping for the best. My partner used Cultivated Culture in the past, and the Dream Job System got him out of a slump and into a job that jump started his current career. I decided to go with the extra step of coaching to keep myself accountable and also have a third party sounding board. The most valuable part of coaching for me was how much tools like ChatGPT can be utilized to revamp your resume, LinkedIn, create cover letters, and VVPs. I always saw AI as a crutch, but in reality it just streamlines and saves so much time. The content is still yours, ChatGPT just pushes it that extra mile. The three biggest strategies I used were: reaching out to hiring managers after applying to make sure I was top of mind, looking at company employees to see how long of a tenure they had, if they were getting promoted, etc, and finding that balance of personal and professional narratives when interviewing. I would not have landed the position I currently have without their help and support."

"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."

"I work in the people space and consider myself to be a solid coach. The coaching I received throughout this program has been stellar. I enjoyed every session with Adriana. This process can be challenging, not only in tactical assignments, but emotionally as well. Adriana never let me forget what I deserve and how hard I've worked. I wasn't expecting this level of coaching, and it made the program for me. I had my last session this week and while I'm sad I won't have my time with my coach, I'm excited and confident with my next moves and know that the support is still there. Fantastic program. I've learned so much not only about my dream job, but myself, as well. *William asked us to use a pseudonym and stock image for privacy purposes.*"

"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!"

"A “squiggly career” probably best defines my professional path as a generalist, having worked across many (albeit related) industries and roles in my 20s and early 30s. The challenge I faced in my job search—following a postgraduate degree and relocating back to the UK post-pandemic—was navigating a newly stratified workplace, where job descriptions had become more specialized. Additionally, as a mid-career professional, I also encountered the challenge of workforce juniorization. Through very thoughtful sessions with Forrest, along with the online material provided by Austin, we crafted a strategy that was clever, well-evidenced, and ultimately worked like a charm. I cannot recommend this course highly enough if finding a great job is important to you—you are in very good hands."

"One of the best programs out there to get you a job with real structure, proper planning, and true confidence. This program will prepare you so well for your interviews, projects, and salary negotiations that you'll think you've just gone through a bootcamp on life's most important skill: clearly communicating your value to get the income you truly deserve. I'm a Data Engineer who decided to go back into Accounting to pursue his CPA. Originally, I started my career as a Financial Auditor, then transitioned into the Data Science field as a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer (think Python, SQL, PowerBI, Tableau, Machine Learning, etc). After 2 years of greatness and several not so good moments and an unemployment period that seems to last forever, I decided to join Cultivated Culture. Adriana welcomed me right away and made me feel right at home. She has the ability to make you feel comfortable and cared for as a person every time you're on a coaching call with her. I appreciate how organized Adriana was for every call. There were clear expectations before and after each call, so I always knew what to do.  And of course, the Weekly Coaching calls added extra support to my eventual success. The support is second to none here at Cultivated Culture. I had several rounds of final interviewing before landing my current role. During one of them, after going through 3+ weeks of preparation, 30-60-180 Day planning, and interviewing, I did not get the final offer... I felt sad, frustrated, and ready to give up. But Adriana and the entire community helped me through that tough period. I got back up and prepared again. Several rounds of interviewing later, I landed my current job, and I was so happy! Thank you Adriana, Forrest, Austin, Taylor, and the whole Cultivated Culture community for what you do daily. I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart."

"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."

"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!"
