I’ve been actively applying for roles and not getting much traction. Despite updating my CV, building a strong generic version, and tailoring it carefully for each JD the response has been painfully low—barely any interview calls.
I have 13+ yrs of wrk, with the last 11 years at the same company. Out of that, 5 years are solid product management experience, but I’ve been presenting it as 11 years in PM/PO roles.
At this point, I’m honestly not sure where it’s going wrong. Is it the positioning?
