Take Back Your Career In One Day
The job market in 2026 is broken. Companies post roles that don't exist. AI screens you out before a human sees your resume.
And the advice most people follow? Apply more, tweak your resume more, interview more, and hope for the best.
That was the moment I realised: most people are doing this wrong. Hope has never been my answer. It's always taking action.
In 2023, I left Australia to break into the US tech market -> with no network, no job offers, and no contacts.
I landed my first US role 6 months later, including interviews at top tech companies within the first month.
That's when I realised: The only person responsible for your career is you.
I figured out what I actually wanted, targeted specific industries, built networks intentionally, and positioned myself so that opportunities came to me.
Not because it came from mass applying, but through my networks.
I'm new to Maven, but I'm not new to teaching. I've beeing coaching career transitions for 9+ years.
After speaking ot thousands of students, the gap between people who are stuck and people who are landing isn't talent or experience — it's a job search strategy.
This workshop closes that gap in a single day.
