CultivatedCulture.com/Coaching // I teach people how to land jobs they love in today's market without traditional experience and without applying online.

In 2013, I graduated from college with a biology degree, terrible grades, and a job in healthcare that paid me next to nothing.

Two years later, I scored interviews at Google, Microsoft, & Twitter and I accepted an offer from Microsoft with a $70,000 raise

All without “traditional” experience and without applying online.

Today, I teach people (just like you!) how to use the same system to land their dream job without applying online.

That system has helped thousands of job seekers land offers at places like Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Uber, Spotify, Deloitte, Accenture, Sequoia Capital, Tesla, SpaceX, ESPN, The NFL, & more.

The people we work with don't just land offers at great companies. They also get:

💰 Average Raise: $44,000+ 
🧭 Average Time To Offer: 3.5 Months

7 AI Prompts That Will Transform Your Job Search After Being Laid Off:

Context: The Harsh Reality of Starting Over

Job seekers with 10, 15, or 20+ years of experience often face:

 – Long gaps with zero responses
 – Pressure to “keep up” with new tech
 – Bias toward “fresh” or entry-level talent

AI levels the playing field by helping you showcase value, not just history.

Here's how:

1. Resume Transformation Prompt

To revamp your resume, use:

"Analyze my resume for a [target role]. Identify gaps between my experience and job requirements, then rewrite my bullets to highlight transferable skills and quantifiable achievements."

This reframes long experience into modern, relevant, value-driven language.

 The result? Higher response rates and more recruiter engagement.

2. LinkedIn Headline Generator

 Most headlines are just job titles.

A smart, keyword-optimized headline boosts profile views, search visibility, and inbound recruiter messages.

Try this:

"Create 5 LinkedIn headlines for a professional with 10+ years in [industry] targeting [new role]. Include keywords that attract recruiters and highlight experience."

3. Value Validation Project Creator

Use AI to create a mini project that proves your value before you’re hired:

"Design a small project I could complete to demonstrate my capabilities for [target company] in [target role]. Include 2–3 deliverables that showcase relevant skills."

Hiring managers view project-driven candidates as proactive problem-solvers.

4. Interview Question Predictor

Start prepping for your interview by rehearsing the questions you'll be asked:

"Based on this job description [paste JD], generate 15 likely interview questions, including 5 behavioral questions about adapting to new technologies."

This prepares you for tough questions on tech, change, and adaptability.

5. Age-Proofing Communication Prompt

Shift communication away from “years served” and toward results delivered.

Try this:

"Review this email/cover letter and identify any language that may hint at age or dated experience. Suggest alternatives that emphasize value, adaptability, and expertise."

This helps position experience as an asset, not a red flag.

6. Salary Research Assistant

Want to aim for a higher salary? This prompt can help:

"Analyze current market salary ranges for [role] in [location] for experienced professionals. Include negotiation arguments that emphasize value, not tenure."

This produces tailored salary insights + value-based negotiation points, leading to stronger offers and more confidence at the table.
