Aspiring PM with no past relevant work-ex in Product Management?


When l last hired for a Product Manager position, I was sent a bunch of 50 resumes, from which I had to shortlist 7 candidates for interviews.


And this I had to do during my office-hours. So, I had less than 30 seconds to scan each CV.


You get the point..


The impact of your CV should be immediate..


.. and citing non-relevant work-ex (no matter how great) does NOT help.


Your CV should make an impact within:

  • within 30 seconds to hiring manager
  • within 10 seconds to HR
  • plus go through the CV vs JD automated machine-check


In this session we'll work together on:

  • Taking your past non-product skills/work-experience to project the best fit to product management role (CRITICAL)
  • Eliminating fluff and making it crisper to make 10 second impact
  • Keyword optimisation


Beyond these, I'll share some tips on softer aspects like how many different CVs should you have, trending formats etc)
