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:

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.

 7 AI Prompts To Bounce Back After Being Laid Off:

Craig Davis

An award-winning Senior Customer Service Representative with 12+ years of experience. Helping hospitality companies create amazing customer experiences that drive 7-figures in annual growth.

I help content creators on LinkedIn by leaving value-driven comments.

My first job was working as a Janitor at the Greater Allen Cathedral of New York in June 2006. I enjoyed learning how to serve people, do a job, and learn about its mission.

I volunteer to serve Thanksgiving food, Christmas Gifts and attend church conferences.

Those experiences translated to my first full-time job, working at a casino in October 2011.

Out of over 1,000+ employees with no phone experience, I became the first-ever Employee of the Month in the Call Center for Outstanding Customer Service.

My former manager wrote in 2015:

"His dedication to excellence and delivering above and beyond what is required makes him a solid addition to any organization." - Elba Batista, Former Customer Relations Manager at Resorts World Casino New York City.

Working in hospitality taught me how to be patient, empathetic, and caring.

My goal is to become a Customer Success Associate at a hospitality tech startup in New York, NY. Here are three reasons why:

1) To start, I want to make a career change that I will be happy with for a long time.

2) Throughout my career, I’ve become an expert at uncovering people’s desired outcomes to help create amazing customer experiences.

3) You get my skills and relevant customer experience to bring a hospitality tech startup in New York, NY.

Why a hospitality startup? To bring insights from working in hotels.

I create content on LinkedIn that focuses on personal branding, adding value, and sharing webinar takeaways. I like to visit Farmer's Markets in New York.

This is easily overlooked in LinkedIn comments:

Making the author of the post look "great".

Often times, we fall into this trap of trying to say the best thing. Something that'll attract likes and replies.

But we forget about the author of the post.

My simple formula is:

1. Always tag + acknowledge the author of a post
2. Compliment them.

Why should you do this? Because...

1. You're valuing the author's work
2. You're not making it all about yourself
3. It shows "authenticity" to your audience

In a nutshell...

Don't make your comment look good.
Make the author look great too!
It's an excellent combination!

Sounds "good"? :)

P.S. Do you compliment a post's author in your comments? Or do you just leave your thoughts?

Working hard towards your New Year’s resolution?

Or is momentum starting to fade?

Here's the truth:

Most people have resolutions that fade before the month ends.

In my opinion, the best way to stay the course and to accomplish your goals is to start smart. To do this you:

Take a goal.
Break it down.
Make it realistic.

For example: my goal is to comment on at least 20 new people's posts. Daily.

So I:

-Set aside time to comment daily
-Ensure my commenting time is uninterrupted
-Have a list of 20 accounts that I want to comment on

This means I have to step out of my comment zone, too.

And I have to build a habit. One that I can handle.

But the good thing is the more you do it, the better you get.

Carry this momentum forward and make each day count so you can ensure that you meet your goal.

Let's make 2026 a great year for stretching ourselves!
