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.

7 ChatGPT Prompts (That Will Get You Better Results Than A $500 Resume Rewrite):

1. The Achievement Extractor

Most people struggle to tie measurable outcomes to their work.

Grab the content from one of your roles and ask:

“What are 10 different ways I could quantify the impact that I made in this role?”

Follow up with, “how do I get that data?” if you don’t have it.

2. The Jargon Eliminator

Jargon muddles value.

Take a bullet that feels overly complex.

Then ask ChatGPT:

“Rewrite this resume bullet for a non-technical hiring manager: [Insert Bullet]”

Alternatively, try: “Rewrite this bullet at a 5th grade reading level without losing the impact of the value: [Insert Bullet]”

3. The Skills Translator

Changing careers?

ChatGPT can help you find gold in your transferable skills.

Upload a copy of your resume, then ask ChatGPT:

“I’m switching from [Industry A] to [Industry B]. Review my resume and translate my existing skills from [Industry A] to their counterparts in [Industry B].”

4. The Action Amplifier

Language matters.

Don’t let weak verbiage dampen your value.

Instead, upload your resume to ChatGPT and ask:

‘Identify all the ”weak” verbs in my resume, then replace them with stronger verbs. For example, adjusting “Responsible for” to “Spearheaded.”’

5. The Gap Explainer

Career gaps can feel scary to explain.

ChatGPT can help. First, give it context:

“I have a 7 month gap on my resume due to layoffs. I’ve spent that time skill building via Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning.”

Then upload your resume and ask ChatGPT to reframe your gap as skill building.

6. The Role Customizer

Before applying to a new role?

Upload your resume and the role to ChatGPT and ask:

“Here is my resume along with a job I want to apply for. Rewrite my resume so it’s personalized for the skills, experience, and value the role is looking for. Share the specific changes you made.”

Now you can see the updates and make any adjustments before applying.

7. The Highlight Reel Generator

The first few lines of your resume are the most valuable real estate.

Don’t waste them.

Upload your resume, the job description, then ask ChatGPT:

“Here’s the job description for a role I’m applying to. Which bullets from my resume should I showcase in a 3–5 bullet “highlight reel” at the top?”

The 5:50:5 Method Job Search Method (For More Interviews & Offers):

Consistency is a cornerstone of job search success.

But with jobs, friends, family, and all of life’s stressors?

It’s not always easy to do.

Enter the 5:50:5 Method.

It’s a simple framework to help you stay consistent with the job search so you can see better results.

Here’s how it works:

What Does 5:50:5 Stand For?

It’s simple:

5 job search tasks.

50 minutes per day.

5 days per week.

The tasks you choose are important!

Here are the ones we recommend:

Task #1: Apply To 3 Jobs

Not just any jobs.

Find ones that truly fit the criteria you’re looking for in a new role.

Then personalize your materials!

Use ResyMatch to score your resume vs. the job description and make the recommended updates.

Use ChatGPT to craft a personalized cover letter, then review and edit it.

Task #2: Network With 3 New People

Find 3 new contacts who could influence your ability to get hired at a target company.

Brainstorm a few ways you could reach out to them.

Aim to add value.

Then press “Send” on those messages and log them in your networking tracker.

Task #3: Touch Base With 3 Existing Connections

Think on the contacts you’ve already connected with.

Choose 3 of them and brainstorm ways you can follow up with value:

Mention a recent news story
Ask how a project is going
Etc.

Keeping those relationships warm is key!

Task #4: Comment On 3 LinkedIn Posts

Commenting is one of the single best ways to get visibility on LinkedIn.

Scroll through your feed until you find a post that resonates with you.

Leave a comment that’s genuinely supportive, positive in nature, and aims to add value.

Repeat two more times. 

Task #5: Comment On Target Company Posts

Did you know employers can see if you’ve comment on content from their Company page?

Review the Company pages for your target companies.

For any with recent posts?

Leave a thoughtful, value-driven comment.

Do This 5 Days / Week

Job searching isn’t a 24/7 activity.

Take the weekend off to recharge your batteries.

Then do this the other 5 days. 

That’ll net you:

15 applications
15 potential connections
15 relationships continued
15+ comments for more visibility

Every single week.

 The 5-50-5 Method For More Job Offers:

8 Steps To Personalize Your Resume For Any Role (In Less Than 10 Minutes):

Personalized resumes win more job interviews.

But most job seekers don’t know how to do it quickly and effectively.

Here are 8 steps to personalize your resume for any role (in less than 10 minutes):

1. Start With A Master Resume

This is a version of your resume where you have all of the content and experience from your career.

The idea is to keep it in one place so you can easily save a new version of this doc and adjust your experience.

I recommend creating yours in ResyBuild.io for easy duplicating and editing.

2. The 10-Minute Optimization Process

When you see a new role you want to apply to:

- Save a new version of your resume
- Remove irrelevant content
- Identify and weave in keywords
- Update your Highlight Reel

Let’s break down each of these into more detail:

3. Save A New Version Of Your Resume

When you see a role you want to apply to, save a new version of your resume.

Use this naming convention for easy referencing:

[Name] Resume - Job Title - Company - Date

4. Remove Irrelevant Content

Review the job description and identify the key responsibilities and goals for the role.

Next, review your resume and remove any content that isn’t relevant to this particular role.

If you’re struggling, try uploading your resume and the JD to ChatGPT and asking it to remove irrelevant content.

5. Identify Keywords & Skills

Pull up the job description and copy the content.

Head to ResyMatch.io and scan your resume vs. the job description.

Identify the top 5–10 skills where you have a “Skill Gap.”

Keep these handy.

6. Personalize Your Content

Go through the bullets on your resume and identify areas where you can naturally weave in your target keywords.

How many should you add? 

Aim to close the “Skill Gap” from your ResyMatch scan for the top 5–10 keywords.

7a. Update Your “Highlight Reel”

Every resume should have a “Highlight Reel.”

This is a section at the top of your resume where you include the 3–5 most relevant pieces of experience.

You can (and should!) customize it for each role you apply to.

More on these at: https://lnkd.in/eUn8D4tx

7b. Update Your “Highlight Reel” (Continued)

First, update the section title to align with your target job. 

Ex: [Job Title] Summary

Next, update your bullets so you have the most relevant experience up top.

Finally, layer in any additional keywords you’re missing.

8. Run A Final ResyMatch Scan

Before you apply, run a final scan in ResyMatch.

Make any adjustments you need to get a score of 70–75+ (you don’t need to go higher).

Once you’re there, your resume is fully personalized and ready to be submitted!

8 Steps To Personalize Your Resume In Under 10 Minutes:

This daily LinkedIn strategy will help you win more jobs.

The best part? It takes less than 10 minutes per day:

Context: What Is It?

This strategy revolves around comments.

Comments on LinkedIn are networking and visibility at scale.

But only if you use them the right way.

I call that way "Value Driven Commenting."

Here's how it works:

1. Value Driven Comments Are A Triple Threat

Investing in daily Value Driven Comments (VDCs) is a 3-for-1 deal.

They help you:

1. Get noticed by post authors
2. Get noticed by the author's audience
3. Find your own voice on a platform

Best of all?

They take 10-15 mins / day.

2. Map Out Your Prospect Criteria

You want to aim for a minimum of 20 contacts.

These people should meet 3 criteria:

- They work at one of your target companies
- They can influence the hiring decision for your target role
- They consistently share content on LinkedIn

3. Use LinkedIn To Find Them

Here's how:

- Go to LinkedIn
- Search for role-related keywords
- Click the "Posts" filter
- Click "All Filters" > "Author Company"
- Add target companies

Now you have a list of people at your target companies writing about your target job.

4. Bookmark Their Post Feed

It's a pain to click through individual profiles to find new posts.

Do this instead:

- Go to their LinkedIn profile
- Under "Activity," click "Show All"
- Click on "Posts"
- Bookmark the page!

(Big thanks to Justin Welsh for that tip).

5. Leave VDCs On New Posts

When a contact shares a new post?

Leave a Value Driven Comment!

Don't write, "love this" or "thanks for sharing."

Instead, try this 3 part formula:

- Tag the post author
- Reiterate their point
- Add your own unique value

Aim for 2-4 sentences.

6. VDC Example

Here's a quick example of a VDC I recently left.

The parent post was focused on 4 types of content any creator could use to build a following.

I replied with:

"Start with these and create 10 posts for each.

Share 1-2 per day.

When you're close to running out, analyze the top 10% of your posts.

What topics, styles, and deliveries did best?

Write 40 more posts incorporating those insights.

That's how you grow!"

My comment got 32 reactions and a bunch of replies.

7. Rinse & Repeat Daily

VDCs work best when performed consistently over time.

When you show up daily with positive support?

The post author recognizes that.

So does their audience.

I'd recommend planning for 2-4 weeks of consistent VDCs before you see any reciprocity.

Happy commenting!

📣 Our client Rose used VDCs and landed a $15k raise in 90 days.

This is just one of many strategies we teach our clients to help them get an edge on LinkedIn.

 One LinkedIn Strategy For More Job Offers:

7 Tips For Managing Rejection In Your Job Search:

1. Realize You’ll Hear “No” Most Of The Time

Job searching is a game of tails.

This means that you’re going to be told some form of “No” the vast majority of the time.

But the upside from getting a single “Yes” is large enough that it can outweigh hundreds of “Nos.”

Realizing this will help normalize all of the “Nos” you may be running into.

Keep your eye on the prize.

2. Set The Right Expectations

Continuing that thread, take it one step further and use data to see how many “Nos” you should expect.

Look up benchmarks for:

 - Online application reply rates
 - Networking message reply rates
 - Interview success rates
 - Etc.

That data will show you just how many “Nos” are normal before you get that coveted “Yes.”

3. Rejections As Lessons, Not Failures

When a rejection happens, reflect on what you could have done differently, or better.

Oftentimes, rejections mean we’re missing a piece of the puzzle or we need to level up in some area.

Maybe it’s how your resume conveys your value, how you’re approaching networking, etc.

If you find the lesson in each rejection, it will take you one step closer to success.

4. Track & Gamify The Process

This is what helped me overcome rejection in my search.

I started tracking every aspect of my job search (# apps, # networking messages, replies, interviews, etc).

I leveraged the data to A/B test different strategies at every stage.

That meant each “No” transitioned from a failure to a data point I could use to tangibly improve my process.

5. Find A Community Of Active Job Seekers

Oftentimes, when we’re doing hard things, we just need to know that we’re not alone.

Finding a community of like-minded job seekers can make all the difference.

It could be one you build on your own or one that you join.

But having a space to vent, share ideas, get help, and connect with others is key.

6. Take The Space You Need

You’re a human being, which means you are crazy resilient. 

But also that you have a limited capacity for handling negative emotions.

If the rejections are piling up and feel like too much?

Take a day off. Take two! Do something just for you.

All of the opportunities will be here when you jump back in.

7. Leave The Door Open

If you’re rejected during an interview process, don’t cut ties.

Instead, message everyone you engaged with, thank them for their time, wish them well with the hire, and ask to stay in touch.

This is how I landed my job at Microsoft. It’s also how many of our clients have landed offers.

Rejection isn’t permanent. It’s simply one more step in the journey.

🧠 Managing rejection is easier with the right system and community behind you.

We help peoples bounce back faster and land offers they’re excited about, while offering support along the way.
