I have worked in a big Canadian bank for many years as a product manager (payments and deposit related), but am looking to pivot into smaller Canadian fintech companies. I find that each product manager role has over 200 applications and it’s so hard to stand out in a sea of resumes. Any advice? Is the answer to just network like crazy and get referrals to even have a chance at interviews?

Submit anyway, most of those applications are not relevant to the role.

Market is rough right now. Hold on to your job and keep applying for jobs. The economy might pick up hopefully in the last quarter.

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful
