Ladies, I need your help
I have been looking for a job for 3 months now and would like to understand what I do wrong

I have 2 y of experience as PM and 10 y in marketing

So, I had 28 screening interviews with HRs (from companies) that led me to 12 interviews with hiring managers - 42%

And 5 out of these 12 invited me going farther- again 42% and have interviews with teams
Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful by any reasons. I am frustrated (((

What was your hiring funnel?

Don’t give up❤️

Can you give some examples of how you answer questions?

I find a lot of PMs can’t answer about how they prioritize work/features especially if they’re working in a team with devs. A lot of interview answers that also often jump right into how they want to build something instead of asking who/what/why/when which is more important.

like

Yes, the last feedback from the company where they rejected me after 4th round was about my prioritisation skills and my input into the product.
So, I am not alone there))) will train more to answer these questions)

Very similar to yours but I did mock interview practice. I love the company that I came to work for 3 months ago. can you PM me and I will share info ?

Thanks a lot🙏

will DM

Agree that interview prep is key. Did you ask for feedback from any of the companies? I’d also suggest YouTube for interview guidance.

Ok. This helps! I did hear something about companies posting more positions than they need filled which can be frustrating because you’re not wanting to waste your time. What level PM roles are you applying to? You mentioned 2yrs of directly related PM experience (even though you have 10yrs of mktg experience).

You should ask the recruiter for feedback. Usually they’re pretty open about that. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to do mock interviews with others in the industry

like

Yes, they give me feedback - every time it is different
I am not focused on execution
I am not focused on delivery
I don’t show my input as a PM

So, I make better after each interview but also want to understand how other PMs do - what funnel and Conversion rates they have

Serious question and real talk. How do people have time to perform at their job (bc that’s what actually pays the bills) and manage personal life obligations (read: small humans). I honestly am incredibly drained after a long day at work. I hire childcare help on the weekends but that is costly and I don’t see as much progress as I’d really like. Are moms just SOL?

I’m just exhausted all the time and feel like I’m doing everything badly? 🤷🏻‍♀️
