Hi, I recently read "How to crack PM interview" book. It will written that for a person with no prior experience in PM should build a mobile app to showcase the skills. I have CS degree so it won't be hard to me to build an app.

What are your thoughts on this? Will it be helpful or should I do some beginners certification like Foundations of Prince2/ Certified Associate Project Manager (PMP)?

Hi, I start taking a course for PMP certification. Some of the classes you can take on Coursea, Google. Their is a membership fee.

I have also started a course on CAPM on simplilearn.

That book really recommends an aspiring project manager build a showcase app? Ridiculous.

Get a PMP cert and you'll be fine.

Well, a Masters in Engineering Management is definitely the way to go. You should have no problem getting into a PM role. Happy to connect. Dm me.

Just a warning, though, not sure if there's university rivalry like there is in the States but this is on my wall in honor of my Father in law. 😉

PMP is not that relevant for Product Manager role. Better use that time to learn more about product design (tons of videos are there on YouTube) and networking.

Thank you. Will look into it.

It all depends on what you did prior to becoming a PM. I had 7 years of industry experience in FinTech as a SaaS client manager and data analyst, took a few online classes to learn the basics of product and landed a APM role. There isn't a defined path to become a PM but that could definitely help.

I’ve been applying for jobs and internships in my field (looking for jobs in media production, social media, music, entertainment) for months with no luck.

I have film PA experience, but other than that my background is in retail. Any advice going forward?

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
