Breaking into tech or product management isn’t just about your résumé — it’s about getting in front of the right people before the job ever hits LinkedIn and having the insight to convert interviews into offers. After coaching 100+ candidates into roles at Google, Meta, Adobe, and other top companies, I can tell you the biggest lever you control is simple: effective coffee chats.
Most candidates send the same cold emails and LinkedIn messages that get ignored. In this session, we’ll walk through how to actually stand out when people are busy, how to pick the right targets, and how to turn a single conversation into a warm path toward interviews at companies you want.
You’ll learn:
• How to identify the right people to reach out to (and who not to waste time on)
• What to say in your first message so it gets opened and answered
• How to run a coffee chat that leaves a memorable impression
• How to uncover roles before they’re posted
• How to build a networking system that compounds over time
If you’re an MBA student or career switcher aiming for tech or PM roles, this session will give you the exact playbook that’s helped dozens of candidates break in.
