How to land your dream job without job search burnout?

Ivana Wang

Tech Career & Job Search Strategist

"Stop Applying, Start Being Obvious"

Is this you?

  • Sending applications into the void with no response

  • Told to "network more" but unsure who to reach or what to say

  • Qualified on paper, but invisible to the people who actually hire

The problem isn't you. It's the strategy.

Most professionals compete for the 20% of jobs that get posted publicly. My clients go after the other 80% before a role ever goes live. That's how they land opportunities within 2 weeks and offers within 60 days.

The Career GPS System is a four-week live course built around one idea: stop applying, start being obvious.

We use a three-part framework:

  1. Career Clarity — Identify exactly where your strengths create value and who needs them

  2. Personal Brand — Build a LinkedIn presence and personal brand that makes opportunities find you

  3. Networking Strategies — Network with decision-makers in a way that feels natural, not transactional

You don't need to send hundreds of applications. You need the right mindset & system.

Join live and you'll also get: 🎁 Networking templates and outreach scripts 🎁 Resume and LinkedIn profile review 🎁 Private community for ongoing support

For professionals ready to move with clarity, visibility, and strategy.

Testimonials

  • Honestly, I wouldn't have gotten this job without your help. Thank you so much! I felt super lost after graduating, but after we started working together, I began to gain clarity and, most importantly, build my own network. Your interview strategies and all the prep work also made my interviews much smoother.
