05: How To Land a Dream Job at the Salary You Deserve, with Austin Belcak

Today's guest for Finding Brave is Austin Belcak, the founder of Cultivated Culture. Through his work, Austin helps people land amazing jobs that they love - at the salaries they deserve. Austin shares his powerful personal story of pursuing a degree that in the end, didn't help him land work he would enjoy (or work at all!). After applying to approximately 200 jobs online in the space of a couple of months and hearing nothing but one letter of rejection, he decided he needed to take a completely different tack. He embarked on a journey of researching exactly what people his age had done to secure amazing positions at the nation's top companies, including Google, Microsoft and Twitter. From his intensive research, he began applying what he learned to secure a dream job, and launched his own business helping others do the same. Austin's strategies have been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Inc., Fast Company, and more, and his students have landed interviews and offers at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Uber, Deloitte, Accenture, ESPN and more. The strategies you'll hear in this episode go far beyond what you hear every day, and Austin's advice can be applied immediately to your own job search to get you noticed and moving in a direction you'll be thrilled with. Austin is one of those individuals who has truly turned his "mess into a message," and you'll be inspired by his success to build your own.
