I’ve been working on refining my resume and preparing for interviews, and I’d really appreciate any support from folks here who’ve walked this path. Specifically, if you have experience in product or adjacent roles, I’d love your help with:
- Reviewing my resume (via DM)
- Sharing insights about the PM interview process
- Highlighting skills I should definitely build or demonstrate as an APM candidate
- Offering real-world advice on how to navigate this journey and grow into a strong PM
- Apply directly via Wellfound
- Apply through the careers pages of companies I admire
- Reach out to PMs/founders/HRs with tailored messages when there are no live openings
- Use LinkedIn as a last resort
Thank you so much in advance. I truly appreciate your time and guidance!
