Applied to a couple product manager positions with companies I was very excited about. Received rejection emails from 2 within a couple days of applying. Any advice? Would you re-apply via a different channel? Try to connect with people who work there on LinkedIn? Just feels like the door got slammed in my face without anyone peeking through the peephole.

Do you have product manager experience?

If it’s a rejection I don’t think HR or the hiring manager thought you were a good fit, so I wouldn’t reapply. Doesn’t hurt to network though

It’s a very competitive market and you’re targeting the most selective roles. Know that it’s likely high 90%s of applicants were in your same camp.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
