Hey there! I’m Elana, an Associate Product Manager at Atlassian. A few years ago, I was in your shoes—trying to break into product from an unconventional background (Philosophy & CS). However, I've been able to work at tech companies of all sizes where I've learned what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to resumes, networking, and interviews. Now, I love helping people navigate the PM hiring process. I've helped students land internships and full-time roles at Microsoft, Amazon, and many other Big-Tech companies. Here’s how I can help: - Personalized Game Plan: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. I’ll work with you to create a tailored strategy based on your background, goals, and strengths—so you’re not just following generic tips, but building a plan that’s uniquely yours - Storytelling: I’ll help you uncover and articulate your authentic story, making your application stand out for the right reasons. Together, we’ll find the “why” behind your journey and translate it into a narrative that resonates with recruiters - Mock Interviews & Feedback: We’ll run through realistic behavioral and case interviews, with detailed, constructive feedback so you can improve with every session - Ongoing Support: I’m here for you beyond just a single session. Whether you need a pep talk before an interview, a quick resume review, or advice on negotiating an offer, you’ll have a coach in your corner every step of the way. Let's land that dream PM role together!
