Free Masterclass: 6 Strategies To Get Hired Fast In 2026 (When Nothing Else Has Worked)

"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."

"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!"

"Austin’s strategies helped me land 3 job offers in 3 weeks! The original offers I got were lower than I was expecting. I used Austin’s salary negotiation techniques and ended up getting a 30% salary increase AND a $5,000 dollar bonus!"

Chris Executive Director

"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."

"Cultivated Culture has been a game changer for me with absolutely fantastic resources that helped me enhance my interview prep beyond imagination. I totally vouch for all the interview prep resources right from the step by step process of formulating a response to exact answers Austin himself used! They’ve encouraged me to proudly share my life experiences with recruiters and highlight my value and impact. And the best thing!? I managed to get a 90% hike on my new role, using the negotiation strategies Austin shares."

"Forrest has been an outstanding career coach and a huge value add to my job search. He’s incredibly accessible and gives thoughtful, tailored advice rather than generic playbooks. His Loom video feedback on my LinkedIn profile and on a key presentation was especially helpful and actionable. I’d highly recommend Forrest to anyone who wants practical, high-impact guidance and real results"

Darren Sales Director

"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."

"When facing my job hunt, there were plenty of challenges. I'd given it a shot in a tough tech job market with what I'd already learned from my business graduate program and the general knowledge about networking, resumes, etc. and I wasn't seeing results. I wanted to invest in CC's coaching because I saw the rigor and time-tested best practices; I felt that this program would help me optimize and maximize my chances. I appreciated that they advocated for getting your dream job and not settling regardless of the circumstances. My main goal with my job hunt was to not have any regrets and know that I did all that I could, and I'm confident with the program's support that I did. The most valuable part of the coaching I received was the care and consistency of the support I got from Forrest - he shared plenty of knowledge, wisdom, accountability and encouragement in a process that can be demoralizing at times! I'd also mention the DJS course and general CC content; there were countless nuggets of wisdom and principles that I'll continue to use throughout my career - like the "double nope". The program changed my approach to job hunting and networking for life, and I know it'll continue to pay dividends."

"My goal was to return to the technology and marketing field after freelancing for 2 years. Thanks to Austin, I got an offer at my top choice job within a month. The initial offer I got was good, but Austin’s salary negotiation tips helped me get a $10k increase. I’m super excited to start my new job!"

Tanya Solutions Engineer

"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."

Kendra Sr. Solutions Consultant

"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."

Andy Sr. Product Manager

"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…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!"
