Dear Recruiters and Hiring Managers - I have a couple of thoughts that might help you review and analyze the deluge of candidates that you're currently receiving. When you write your job description, add a priority level of 1-10 beside each task and required skills so I know how to highlight the elements that you absolutely need. Often roles want a unicorn, but every requirement can't be the highest priority (tech loves to do this in general) and I am often left guessing if a role is leaning towards the technical side or business side, so it's hard to analyze if I am truly a good fit and what I should highlight for you. Also, perhaps consider including a problem statement to indicate what this role is helping solve (i.e. This Manager role primary focus is to manage a portfolio of products but to also ensure that we're building cohesive and positive connections across the business and pull together teams to help build a vision). <-- In this case, I may not need to be the best Product Manager in the world and know all the answers, but be highly skilled in building teams, robust relationships, and bringing the best of everyone to the table. Cheers!

A friend asked for some advice on interviewing for an expanded role. This is for the Head of Product Management. Here’s the probing questions I’ve asked, some of which I think are applicable for most jobs. - Are you doing product development or product management or both? The former relates to innovation and coming up with new products; the latter relates to managing a portfolio of existing products (small tweaks and largely maintenance)? - What’s the direction or strategy at the top of the house? How important is innovation to them? Is there an innovation strategy right now? - What does success look like to the company for this role? Number of new products, revenue or annual contract value? - Is it a new role or replacement role? Why wouldn’t they promote from within? What’s the missing skill gap they see in you I.e. what do you bring to the table? - What’s the culture in the company and in the team? What’s holding people from performing ? What solutions or support or autonomy do you need to transform and enable the team? A good interview needs to be two way - good questions will allow us to find out if it’s a good job fit.

It finally happened. After a lot of hustling, someone contacted you with the hiring manager for that amazing open position you love. Now you have to send them the first message. What do you ask? First, what you don’t ask: ??"Can you please consider me for the role?" ??"Would you mind referring me?" ??"Are there other open roles at your company?" Instead, focus on what they need: ? Avoid asking them for favors if they don't know you. ? Do your research before the conversation. ? Keep it short and specific. ?? Here's how: “Hi there! How are you? I’m a Product Manager with [the exact thing they are looking for] and I’m interested in [the specific role]. Can I borrow 10 minutes of your time to ask you a few questions about it?” ??

Most product managers face the same issue: they think that landing their next role is about applying to as many jobs as possible. That’s for 2 main reasons: * They believe sheer volume will increase their chances. * They don’t realize the game has changed—companies care more about strategic fit than a long list of applicants. => They end up exhausted, frustrated, and stuck in the job search cycle. Here’s how you can change that: Let’s say you’re a product manager. (By now, you know you shouldn’t spam applications.) You should focus on crafting a narrative that showcases your leadership. You should target roles strategically, build relationships, and engage hiring managers directly. Here’s a strategy: - Tailor your resume and LinkedIn to tell a cohesive story. - Reach out to hiring managers and peers within the companies you want to join. - Leverage referrals to get your foot in the door. That’s how you will land the right role, faster and with confidence.

When I lost my job during COVID, I realized that knowing how to be a good PM or build a product wasn’t enough. I had to learn how to sell my story, and how to communicate the value I brought to the table in a way that hiring managers couldn’t ignore. That shift—from focusing on what I did to how I made an impact—changed everything. ?? Takeaway: The most underrated skill in the product management job market isn’t product knowledge—it’s knowing how to communicate your impact.

A product hiring mistake I see again and again is not having any long-term vision for the role. Why? It leads to misaligned expectations. The best product candidates know exactly what sort of career growth they seek in their next company. And if you can’t articulate what you can (or cannot) offer in terms of career development, you’re at risk of hiring the wrong person. I know that firsthand because I’ve been that “wrong person” ?? #productmanagement #career #hiring

Molli Sanocki from LexisNexis?just posted for a Senior Director Product Management opening on their team. I am going to start posting less product manager roles on LinkedIn and start moving these posts over to Skool and this is because I am getting blown up by hiring managers telling me to stop posting jobs they are posting on LinkedIn. This didn’t make any sense to me until I started speaking with more hiring managers about how their inbox is blown up with just horrible messages. My mission is to help as many aspiring and experience product managers land their next product manager role, but y’all have to help me out by sending better messages. Sending a generic, “I am interested” or “I applied” or “did you get my application” offers no value and it won’t help you land your next product manager job. If anything it’s only leaving a negative or at best forgettable impression to somebody who just might be your future boss. So do yourself a favor and steal my message templates in Skool, follow up, and have real conversations with hiring managers. The biggest mistakes product managers are making beyond sending out bad messages is not following up. There is reason why we have included 8 follow up slots on the Airtable and that because you NEED to follow up with your applications. You already spent the time applying so you might as well maximize your list until you get a definitive rejection, because you are only one application and one interview away from landing your next product manager role. PS Stop overlooking the smaller companies and apply to them. Seriously! I usually get 3,000 to 6,000+ impressions when I post a product manager job for a bigger company; but I only get 900 impressions when I post for roles at companies nobody has heard of. There is nothing wrong with those companies and I challenge you to interview with them. God knows you need the practice. If you want other people to give you a shot, then you need to give companies a shot too. You want hiring teams to start treating you like a like human instead of a number, then stop applying and interview for product managers like they are another number. Your vibe attracts your tribe. #ProductManagement? #WhatBadEconomy #GameHasBeenElevated #EverybodyIsOutOnTheTake

The biggest lesson I've learned during my time hiring is to never assume anything. Every person is unique, just as every position we fill is. No two positions are ever 100% identical. If they were, we wouldn't have multiple companies selling the same products. Each one of our clients is unique — from the formulation of their products to their marketing strategy, and most importantly, the people. I believe there should be an equal investment in people as there is in product development.
