"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!"

" Forrest was very helpful, I was able to receive a 68% salary increase with his help. I get anxious and lacked confidence, he was there for me every step of the way to provide much needed guidance. The methodology really works! If you follow the guidance, results will show, I am the proof."

"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."

"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 was navigating the challenges of working in a niche market. One of my biggest hurdles was crafting a resume that truly captured the complexity and impact of my job functions. To make matters tougher, I was stuck in a toxic work environment with a boss who made staying in the job intolerable. I knew I needed a fast and effective strategy to jumpstart my career search. That’s when I turned to Cultivated Culture for coaching. The guidance I received helped me identify the right employers to approach, and I even built a personal website to showcase my projects clearly and effectively... The process took about six months and the results were worth it. I landed a role with a $35k raise and found a much healthier work environment. This journey reinforced a powerful lesson: the way you present your technical skills directly defines your value. A huge shout out to Forrest for helping me reflect my expertise in a way that truly resonated with employers! If you’re in a similar spot, remember: your skills have value—sometimes you just need the right tools and guidance to highlight them."
