Since my last contract ended , I found a full time program manager job ( healthcare) under two months. I’ve attend 9 interviews and got 2 offers back2back and accepted one. Meanwhile, I’m in final round interview of 3rd job ( this one is technical product management ) . This was my strategy:

1) apply apply apply (LinkedIn and indeed) . I would have applied close to 150 jobs in 2 months .. key is customize every job ( ChatGPT) before you apply and ensure 90% match .
2) Build and confidently tell your story during interviews

Accepted an offer recently - surprisingly didn’t get interviews through my applications but a few big tech companies reached out directly on LinkedIn for roles directly relevant to my domain. So make sure your profile is optimized.

Make sure you showcase your domain properly - people are generally only hiring for specific PMs roles so your experience needs to match up perfectly

Here are some tips => 1. No point applying to big corporations without any referral. 2. The closer your resume to JD the higher chances you’ll get an interview (assuming it’s not a “ghost” opening). 3. Interview prep and practice your answers before each round.

Additional Posts in Product Management

I have received two offers from great companies. One is a senior analyst role in the advertising industry and another is a Product manager role in the risk industry. I have 1-2 years of experience as an analyst.
The salary, benefits for both are same. I’m looking for a role that has tech and strategy designing as well and both the roles offer this.
My long term goal is to be a product manager but I want to be on the tech side as well. How do evaluate the offers?

I got invited to a second round interview with a big company. The title sounds more senior than my current title, but the work responsibilities feel like a step down. I am wondering if I should still interview (to see if they will consider me for my desired role instead or at least, get some interview practice for when a better opportunity comes along). Thoughts? Is it ok to reject the offer if they make one, on the grounds of the role not being a good fit for me.
