If you’re updating your resume for every single job and still not getting interviews, this episode is for you. I talk about why more tweaks, different keywords, and endless customization using resume-scoring tools usually doesn't help - it just leads to frustration and burnout.

Hear me when I say: you absolutely, positively DO NOT need another PM course or certification to get hired. In this episode, I break down why certifications feel productive during a job search, but often act as expensive and time-consuming procrastination.

Most PM job searches take longer than they should. Not because of the "bad" market, or because you're unqualified... but because you're not clearly articulating your value.

If you want a new product job but you’re already busy with a full-time role, this episode is for you. The idea of starting a job search can feel, well, overwhelming.

Plus, I give you specific tactics that I use with clients on how to build the kind of momentum that gets you interviews (and offers) faster.

Product Delight is no longer optional - it's a key competitive advantage that has led to massive growth in revenue, retention, and referrals for so many of the products we know and love. If you assume delight is nothing more than confetti and sleek animations, think again, this episode will inspire you to infuse delight and emotional connection into your product starting today. In this episode, I sit down with Nesrine Changuel, author of the new book Product Delight.

Product portfolios? Career breaks? Resume length? Cover letters? Thank-you notes? I chatted with recruiters from Intuit, LinkedIn, eBay, Atlassian, and Cisco and asked them for their hot takes on your burning PM job search questions. Listen in to learn what Big Tech recruiters really care about when hiring Product Managers. 

Anand made the leap from engineer to Senior PM (with a 70%+ hit rate on cold networking, by the way), but once he landed the title, he knew he wanted help actually growing into it.

We talk about the real story behind his 18-month career pivot, the choice to get his Executive MBA, and how he’s using community leadership to stay sharp as a PM.

In this episode, I run through the top 5 things candidates should look for to spot a good Product Manager job description, so they can find the best of the best on their job hunt. Plus, I include a bonus tip most PMs never think of.

Meet Amanda - She's a SHINE alum who felt lost in her Product career but found the courage to test out a stint as an entrepreneur, then take an unexpected (but perfect!) role once she got clear on her unique career vision.

You know you need to be more strategic to grow as a Product Manager, but not sure what that actually means in practice? You don't want to miss this episode. I cover the three most common mistakes I see PM's make that hold them back.

Don't wait until you're job searching to capture accomplishments, work samples, and success metrics related to what you've been working on.

In this episode, I show you a better way to get alignment quickly so you can make better decisions, faster. The 'Safe to Try' approach is one of my go-to techniques for decision-making and has been an immediate level up for so many of the Product Managers I have coached over the years. 

LinkedIn will convince you that the job market for Product Managers is at an absolute standstill. Good news - that's not the full story. The current job market is tricky, yes, but there ARE techniques that are working for job searchers and I break them all down in this episode.

A little prep and a dash of initiative goes a long way. In this episode, I share a story about a candidate who didn’t just say they were excited about the role I was hiring for - they showed it. They managed to get a demo account of my company's hard-to-access enterprise SaaS app and come to the interview with actual insight and questions.

These five tips can be applied to every single interview you may encounter as a PM - the recruiter screen, the hiring manager interview, a panel interview, or even the case. I give this advice so often that I finally wanted to capture it in a podcast so you can apply it in your own job search.
