Pro tip: You will get beat out by other candidates for roles, but don’t let it get you down. Getting 2nd place can sting more than no feedback at all, but just keep your head up and focus on the next role. OR…  Find out who it is that beat you out. Trap them inside their house and cut all connections to the outside world until their start date. The day after the no-call no-show, go in and let them know that you can start IMMEDIATELY. Who’s 2nd place now!? 

Ninon Laforce from Enable just posted for a Senior Product Manager II opening on their team. Are you tired of not getting product manager interviews, then schedule a call with us to see if we can fit you into one of our coaching sessions as a guest. We are also applying together as a group 3x a day at 10 AM, 1 PM, and 8 PM EST with more slots to come. Applying by yourself is brutal folks, because you get 0 positive reinforcement from your effort which creates more procrastination. Schedule a call with us here. https://lnkd.in/gQW7756g PS Let’s land this job by Halloween. You are only 1 application and 1 interview away from your next job. https://lnkd.in/gQW7756g #ProductManagement  #WhatBadEconomy #GameHasBeenElevated #EverybodyIsOutOnTheTake

This partnership coming to life is a complete dream come true 💫 A holistic approach to landing your next product management career move - from prepping for the job search to securing your next role.

The first job I ever had coming out of school was as a PMM. What was the first thing I was asked to do? Conduct win-loss interviews. At first it seemed like a chore. Trying to engage with buyers, specifically the ones that decided not to go with us, was very hard and felt defeating. (That’s why I never had what it took to be in sales 😁) But when I did make a connection, the quality of intel I was able to get from just a single conversation was wildly valuable and made it all worth it. - Who did we lose to and why? - How was their sales experience? - What value did they expect to see/realize? - What did they like/dislike about our product? Were there any gaps? - How did they feel about our pricing model? Now take that one interview and multiple it by 5, 10, even 20. Just think of the trends you’re quickly able to find and leverage to make your business that much better. Needless to say, nothing will ever compare to intel you get directly from your buyers. If you’re interested in setting up or scaling a win-loss program, would love to chat with you about it.

To get my Product Manager role back in 2021, I DM'd the hiring manager. Instant interview! In 2021, I applied to 50 jobs in a month, a mix of referrals and cold applies. Guess where I got interviews the most? The ones from referrals. Yet, the role I landed was through a cold application + networking to get my application noticed. 85% of Hiring is timing, so get noticed, be first, increases your odds overall. Message me 'Mentor' how to automate your networking, get first in the door.

Another member in the program just secured a $200K product manager offer and it was only 3 days ago when she had an offer for $170K that she didn’t really care for. This is why I am always pushing for multiple offers which comes from multiple interviews. She was telling me, “Rich you were right when companies learn that you have another offer they expedite the process AND draft a better offer.” 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 Companies are really afraid of hiring the wrong candidate or an average candidate. Companies dread hiring the product manager nobody wants or the product manager anybody can hire. Companies want to hire the product manager other companies want to hire because that is the biggest differentiator in the market place.

Don't let closed doors overshadow new beginnings Let's talk about something we all experience: closed doors. You know, those moments in our careers when things don't go as planned, when a job opportunity slips through our fingers, or a project doesn't pan out the way we hoped. It's tough, no doubt about it. But here's the thing: amidst those closed doors, there's always one that's cracking open, waiting for us to seize the opportunity. Too often, we get caught up in staring at the closed door, dwelling on what could have been or what went wrong. But while we're fixated on the past, we're missing out on the incredible potential of what lies ahead. There's a whole world of new possibilities, fresh beginnings, and exciting challenges waiting for us if we just shift our focus. So, here's a reminder: instead of lamenting over what's behind us, let's turn our attention to what's ahead. Let's embrace the open doors, the chances to learn, grow, and thrive in our careers. Whether it's a new job opportunity, a chance to upskill, or a pivot in our career path, let's greet these opportunities with open arms and a mindset of possibility. Remember, every closed door is just a stepping stone to something greater. So, let's keep our eyes open, our spirits high, and our determination strong. Together, let's step confidently through those open doors and into a future full of promise and potential. Let's inspire each other to embrace the opportunities waiting for us.
