Resume Resources Proven To Land You More Interviews & Offers

Hi there and welcome to Cultivated Culture!

My name is Austin and during my job search I applied to 300+ open roles at close to 100 different companies across industries. That volume of applications gave me an amazing opportunity to split test every single aspect of my resume including formats, content, and styles.

I ran pseudo-scientific studies (controlling for variables where I could, logging/measuring the data I collected, etc.) to determine what ingredients created the most effective resume that landed interviews and offers at a consistent rate.

By the end of my 18 month job search, I used this resume to land jobs at Google, Microsoft, & Twitter – but that's not where this ends. After starting Cultivated Culture, I've had thousands of resumes come across my desk where I've applied the same principles of testing, analyzing, and tweaking. These templates that have resulted from these tests have landed people jobs at Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Deloitte, ESPN, and more.

In this post (which is only available to CC subscribers), I'm going to share:

• Access to my Free resume builder (with ATS-friendly, recruiter approved templates)
• Access to my Rapid Resume Revamp video course to help you craft an efficient and effective resume with one goal in mind – to land more interviews and offers
• An exact copy of the resume that I used to land jobs at Google, Microsoft, & Twitter
• A boilerplate “Plug & Play” template where you can simply apply what you learned in my article on how to write a resume, paste in your experience, and start landing jobs
• A live resume review with a CC community member, myself, and my good friend Ketan Anjaria who runs a community of 15,000+ job seekers

Let's dive in!

Live Resume Review Session With Austin & Ketan

After reading all of this information, you may be thinking, “Great, but how does this apply to me? Where do I even start?”

I completely get it so I wanted to share a live resume review that we hosted with Laura (a Cultivated Culture community member), Ketan (CEO of HireClub), and myself!

Laura was a strategist for a small digital marketing agency. She was feeling completely lost in her job search, especially crafting a resume that would help her accomplish her goal of working in content to build experience that would eventually allow her to head up an entire communications and marketing department.

In this session, Ketan and I break down Laura's resume – what she's doing well, where she could improve, etc. – and we share a bunch of strategies that you can apply directly to your resume to help you land your dream job!
