Most people with 8-10 years of experience think that landing interviews should be easy.
"But I have the skills."
"My resume is solid."
"I should be getting calls."
But sometimes, having the experience isn’t enough.
Sometimes, your profile doesn’t tell the full story.
Sometimes, hiring managers just don’t see your value - until you show them.
That’s exactly what happened to M (a client I recently helped land interviews at the top companies).
For months, she watched her inbox stay empty, as she wasn't getting even a single interview invite.
Despite years of Product Management experience, she felt invisible in the hiring process.
But then, in just a few weeks, she landed interviews at companies like Google, Affirm, eBay, and more.
Here’s how I helped her flip the script on rejection and turned things around:
She Stopped Playing Small
M was underselling her impact. Once she quantified her results - highlighting product metrics, revenue growth, and customer impact - her experience finally stood out to hiring managers.
She reframed her accomplishments in a way that showcased her leadership and ability to drive results.
She Created a Portfolio That Wowed
A resume isn’t always enough. She built a Notion-based product portfolio showcasing her biggest wins, proving her expertise in B2B and B2C SaaS products.
This made her application memorable and gave recruiters a deeper look into her capabilities beyond just a bullet-point list.
She Took Control of the Narrative

Instead of waiting to be asked, she proactively shared Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) with hiring managers.
This demonstrated leadership and turned initial “no’s” into second chances. It also positioned her as someone who doesn’t just wait for opportunities but creates them.
She Mastered LinkedIn Visibility
By optimizing her profile with role-specific keywords, she started attracting recruiters directly to her inbox—no more chasing cold applications.
She also engaged in industry conversations, increasing her visibility and establishing herself as a thought leader in her domain.
She Bypassed Recruiters Entirely
Using proven outreach scripts, she cold-messaged hiring managers directly - turning casual chats into real interview opportunities.
She personalized her messages, referenced company challenges, and provided clear examples of how she could add value.
She Shifted Her Mindset
Rather than viewing rejection as failure, M reframed each setback as an opportunity to refine her approach.
She learned from each interview, adjusted her strategy, and kept moving forward with resilience and confidence. This mental shift allowed her to stay motivated and push through the toughest parts of the job search.
In a few weeks, M went from months of radio silence to multiple interviews at top-tier companies.
But beyond the interviews, she gained something even more valuable - confidence in her worth and control over her job search.
She now knows that she is in the driver’s seat of her career.
This isn’t just about luck. It’s about strategy.
