How to Network for Career Growth - A Guide For Introverts

Hey, I'm Ivana 👋

If you're sending tons of applications and hearing nothing back, I've been there. Rejected, ghosted, wondering what I was doing wrong.

What changed wasn't my resume. It was realizing 80% of roles are filled before they're posted. The people getting hired weren't applying more. They were already in the room.

I made four industry pivots, including into AI Product Management, by building my network from scratch and reaching decision-makers early. That became the GPS System, and it's what I now teach.

The professionals I coach targeting SWE, PM, and roles in tech see real traction within 60 days, without mass applying.

This is for tech professionals ready for their next move, career pivoters, and new grads breaking into the industry.
