The best person to help you is someone who knows you. Ask current and former coworkers to write LinkedIn recommendations.
Hopefully you have kept your annual evaluations.
Ask your parents and friends what are your best characteristics. What do they see as your strengths.
Ask ChatGPT to write a resume for a senior product manager based on all this text that others have said about you.
This will generate ideas for your resume. Save the text and put it aside.
Next read LinkedIn profiles for senior product managers. What are you pulled toward ? You are looking for ideas. Do you want to write a resume for a more tactical product manager ? Do you want to focus on your strategy work? Or maybe you are a technical PM.
Copy and paste text from the LinkedIn profiles to a document. Add comments to the text like “I did this too when I worked on XYZ. “
Now you have ideas on what your strengths are.. and what you are capable of doing. Put this aside.
Find a ATS compliant template and outline the last 7 to 10 years of work. I always start from scratch when writing a resume. I feel like writing this outline where I am writing my company name, title and dates…. puts me in the right mindset.
Then I start writing my accomplishments for each job. About 5 years ago, I started keeping a brag document. Any praise goes in here. And when I work on something that can be measured, I put this in the brag document. This has made it much easier to write my resume.
Regardless I do some brainstorming about my accomplishments. I reread my idea documents. I focus on my oldest job first and list my job duties. What did I do outside of my regular job duties ?
I spent an hour a day on this until I finish up with all my jobs.
Now I have a bunch of words… it is time to write SMART.
Good luck.
Try gen ai. I use it to write and revise mine. I give it the elevator response of what if did I’m the role and have it write it better. It can write a full resume or just to fix certain aspects. I do tell it not to lie on the facts so it’s less likely to make up stuff I didn’t do.
It’s best skill is language and word smithing. You need to prompt it to use words you want and adjust length and narrative. You can ask it to do a good job with ATS - not quite sure what you’re after there.
Start with AI. Your prompts will help AI better craft a response. You can refine the initial version with your peers.
DM me. I can help guide you through all the points others have shared, plus more.
I go through some resume writing strategies in a private article I wrote for some product circles I belong to. It doesn’t cover everything, but maybe it will help get some ideas going. There are also tons of services on LinkedIn where product recruiters will help you redo your resume: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1haLATL2nNR5JSA0iDnBdZhpcxPd8oXx7yJDN3oixA8k/edit?usp=sharing
