Cultivated Culture's coaching system resonated with me as I landed all of my career opportunities over the last 17 years through networking. That said, I was looking to branch out and explore tangential industries and needed a different mindset/approach. Forrest Clements was my dedicated coach during the program. He expertly guided me to develop my criteria for evaluating career opportunities, pushed me to dive deeper into my brand, and served as an objective sounding board for the second half of my career. Highly recommend Forrest if your looking for a career coach who is an active listener and who is going to challenge you (in a good way) to dive deeper into career aspirations.

I had a great experience during my coaching session with Forrest. I received strategies that gave me a whole new approach to networking and applying to jobs.

Networking was a topic I wanted help with during my session. Forrest walked me through a networking strategy that I used in an email to a contact which resulted in a networking call!

I can’t recommend Cultivated Culture enough, I left my session with a new perspective on applying to jobs, and I’m excited to use more of Austin’s strategies I learned as I continue my job search!

I was struggling with fine tuning my resume and effectively preparing for interviews. Forrest's coaching and the Dream Job System gave me the tools and strategies to succeed as a new grad looking for work. I landed a role above my salary expectations in my desired field.

I was rejected from 196 total applications before I leveraged Cultivated Culture's Value Validation Project strategy. It led to two offers at Disney as well as offers from Big 4 consulting firms.

Cultivated Culture knocked my socks off with his job search approach and strategy and once I got things rolling, I immediately started getting results. I had several interviews lined up, and had recruiters reaching out to ME via LinkedIn multiple times a week!

Without Cultivated Culture, I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now. If you’re having a difficult time landing a career you love or simply not having any luck landing interviews, Cultivated Culture is for you!

My career path was not a typical linear trajectory and I was looking for support in navigating my job search at a time when jobs were scarce and I felt my “age” could be an issue. I just started a new marketing job, but in a new industry with an opportunity to focus on the customer, making $35K more in salary, plus bonus, plus extra week vacation! I am so excited! I highly recommend Cultivated Culture if you are feeling overwhelmed by the job search process and need resources, accountability, and support.

When I started with Cultivated Culture, I was unemployed at needed visa sponsorship in the next two months. Their system helped me land a program manager role at Intuit with a 30% raise and H1-B sponsorship in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I landed 3 final round interviews with absolutely fantastic companies paying WAY upwards of six-figures. I was able to transition from Minneapolis to an amazing job in Amsterdam.

Before knowing about Cultivated Culture, I did not know much about networking and the job search process. I got a recommendation from others about it and decided to give it a try, and I'm so thankful that I did it.

I learned about the whole job search process through Cultivated Culture. By taking the DJS course and working with my coach, I have gained a much better understanding of the job search process, including networking, building relationships, showing my value, interviewing and negotiating salary.

There are a lot of job search resources and organizations out there and a lot of them cover similar things, but this is the single BEST resource I've EVER seen and used because it is just so unique and different.

It covers everything so clearly and in detailed that enables you to easily take actions and see impact. I highly recommend it to anyone no matter what stage you are at in your career and job search!!! I'm so confident that it will help you!

After graduating from college I knew I wanted to work in IT. I was working at a computer store and wanted to find a job that would allow me to grow and learn. I was struggling to land interviews and find positions that would be a good fit for me. After hearing about the success stories of others who worked with Cultivated Culture, I decided to go ahead and try working with a coach. The most valuable part of the coaching was having someone provide feedback on the steps I was taking to land a new role. With Forrest's help, I was able to find a new position in a few months!

Cultivate Culture was needed and incredibly helpful. I realized after 8 years at one company that the job market had drastically changed since I was last applying for jobs. Cultivate Culture did a phenomenal job of explaining the current job market and the steps needed to thrive in the job search. The resources at Cultivate Culture helped me through every aspect of my search and each step in the hiring process. I landed a job that I am really excited about!

I partnered with Cultivated Culture after exhausting a few other coaches and simply having an "aha" moment after connecting the Cultivated Culture team. I didn't initially realize how much I needed a program until I started learning things that I didn't know I needed in today's world of job searching. Working with Forrest has given me the confidence to reach out to people blindly to network and has also prepared me for interviewing and anything else that has come my way. Having the modules is especially helpful as I can always go back to them when I need a refresher! Thank you for putting together such an inclusive program that has gotten me up to speed after being out of the loop for some time.

I joined Cultivated Culture when I was unemployed and looking for a PM role at a flexible company. The networking and VIP calls were goldmines for me. They helped me develop my own approach to networking that resulted in an amazing job with a 25% raise over what I was making in my previous full time role.

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. Forrest from Cultivated Culture was an outstanding Coach! 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.

Cultivated Culture helped me land my dream job at my #1 company without applying online. I didn't think I'd do this for another 10 years!  From when I started to today, my salary has tripled.  Everything Cultivated Culture said it would do for me happened.

Working with Adriana was a game changer. It saved me. I had to humble myself and ask a family member for the money to pay for the program. I am lucky to have someone supportive enough and with the means to help me and believe in me one last time, and was able to come up with the funds. This completely changed the game for me.

Adriana first helped me boost my confidence and get past the mental block that was holding me back from working towards turning my situation around...Besides the incredibly valuable resume and Linkedin overhaul, she coached me on interviewing in a way that left me feeling confident, prepared, and like I would stand out and put my best foot forward. I went from stumbling over my words and struggling to answer unexpected questions, to feeling confident that I could handle any interview using the same couple of tools and skills I had learned.

Within two months of working with her, I turned my situation around. I WON'T be losing my house, and I'm fortunate enough to have gotten two different opportunities to choose from. The new role I've accepted has amazing benefits, is 100% remote, and has unlimited PTO.

I was really nervous about joining the program. I didn't want to waste someone else's money on something that might not work for me. But I never felt pressured. Austin answered all of my questions and provided several free resources and examples of calls and even connected me with someone who could speak to the program. I'm grateful he was so encouraging but never pushy. If you're lucky enough to work with Adriana, just know that you are in great hands. She is a wonderful and impressive human being that will make you feel like you also, are a wonderful and impressive, CAPABLE human being. She will help you through this if you let her, and I'm so incredibly happy I did."

The biggest challenge I was facing was landing interviews for jobs that I was interested in. I didn't understand why I kept being overlooked, so I turned to Cultivated Culture for help. Forrest walked me through my resume and helped me update it to highlight my accomplishments at my prior jobs with defined results. No longer was I just listing out my responsibilities, but rather showing the value that I would bring to the companies that I was applying to. With my updated resume and the tools and resources provided in the program, I received a job offer at my top company!

Before discovering Cultivated Culture, my job search was challenging, and I struggled to secure interviews. Everything changed when I started working with my coach, Adriana. She guided me in crafting a standout resume tailored specifically for my ideal role. Additionally, Adriana assisted me in drafting networking letters aimed at key individuals within target companies. This personalized approach resulted in me landing at least two interviews a week, ultimately leading to a job offer in June.

One of the biggest challenges for me in job hunting is how overwhelming it all is. I felt so unmotivated. Forrest 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.

The biggest challenge I faced during my job hunt was transitioning from a freelance songwriter to a new industry. A friend who successfully secured a job through this program highly recommended it to me. I found great value in using the 'job tracker,' having '1-on-1 meetings with my coach,' and attending the VIP calls. These resources made me feel supported and less alone in the process. I truly appreciate the emotional support and technical guidance that CC provided.  I landed my dream role as an Alumni Director and I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to switch industries.

Before I found Cultivated Culture, I was too many months into a pretty thankless job search. I was really struggling with conveying the impact and value I could bring to an organization. Working with my coach Adriana was super eye opening and helpful. She helped me change the way I thought about presenting myself and my value. I landed a dream offer and Adriana has been instrumental in setting me up for success there also!

Before I found Cultivated Culture, I was unemployed for over a year. I couldn't get a response from any companies, despite submitting hundreds of online applications. Working with my coach Adriana completely changed the game for me. She helped me understand that online applications were only a part of the process and helped me upgrade my LinkedIn profile and taught me how to network effectively while targeting my top choice companies. That led to finally securing some interviews in just over 1 month of the program! With Adriana's help I got an awesome offer for an exciting role in a new industry with a 10% raise! If anyone is having trouble with their current job search, I couldn't recommend this program more! (*Jennifer asked us to use a pseudonym*)

Before I found Cultivated Culture, I was very frustrated and unorganized in my job search. I was just applying to roles with no real purpose. I was really struggling with landing a role at a company that I would be excited to work at. Working with my coach Adriana completely changed the game for me. She helped me get organized in my search and was able to provide insightful feedback on common and role-related interview questions. That has led to several informational interviews and a broader knowledge of how to network and leverage technology to my advantage. 

I am a consulting manager in a public accounting firm. I came to Forrest 6 months ago, as I had no luck in blindly applying to jobs. I was wanting to break into corporate finance and switch to an industry role. Forrest and Cultivated Culture have been nothing but wonderful to work with! Forrest is an exceptional listener and has made this entire process so easy for me. His advice truly made a big difference in my search. Thanks to him and his team, I landed my dream job at Amazon Operations Finance with a pay bump that I am so thrilled about! Thank you Forrest!

I had an excellent experience with Cultivated Culture. After months of traditional job searching, their unique approach was a game-changer - it was refreshing and effective. My career coach, Forrest, was incredibly attentive, taking detailed notes and providing insightful feedback that truly elevated my application materials. The CEO, Austin, also went above and beyond. He genuinely cares about all his clients and took the time to help me create a specific plan tailored to my goals. The program was awesome, the people were awesome, and the entire experience was awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new job.

My biggest challenge when it came to the job search was that I was doing exactly what everyone else was: applying to 100+ applications, waiting to hear back, adjusting my resume constantly, and maybe getting 1 or 2 phone screens a month to positions that didn't even align with my goals and values. I finally decided to pull the trigger and invest in myself and signed up for the CC coaching program. 

The most valuable part of the course for me was the consistent support from my mentor, Forrest. He was extremely knowledgeable through every step of the process and had great advice and recommendations as I had to consistently navigate difficulties. There was also a ton of value that I gained from the DJS course as well, especially the VVP. At the end of the day, I really think that going the extra distance and creating a specifically-tailored project to present to the hiring team to address their current challenges or showcase specific skills I have was the final push to get my interview to an offer.

Overall, I'm forever indebted to the CC team and wouldn't be where I am today without their help. The course, mentorship, and overall professionalism and expertise is priceless and if you're willing to continue to put in the work, you will be successful and get to where you want (and deserve!) to be.
