For our product manager hiring process, Jon O'Bryan came up with an idea that felt too obvious. He wanted to test how they'd handle customer questions. He picked a few real customer queries. When I saw them, I thought, "That's it? They'll finish in 5 minutes!" Being the customer support guy, I was sure John was out of touch. I  on adding more questions to "beef it up". Boy, was I wrong. Those simple questions turned out to be golden. They showed us: - Customer empathy - How they ask questions from customer - How they explore and find the root cause of customer problems - Their explanation style to customer It became the deciding factor in interviews for our final 5 candidates. Lesson learned: Sometimes, your cofounder might also be right 😛

Companies don’t always know what they need... until you show them. A friend of a friend pitched a company on why their event strategy was rubbish. No job opening. No role available. Just honest feedback on what wasn't working. Most would expect a polite "thanks but no thanks." Instead? They got hired. Why? Because they demonstrated value that couldn't be ignored.

Skillset can be trained, attitude can’t. When you’re hiring, you want the right mix of attitude and skillset for your organization. But if finding both is extremely difficult, then pick based on attitude. You want people you can build and grow with so why choose someone closed minded?

Nick Petit from Abbott just posted for a Software Product Manager opening on their team. It’s Friday people, so you know what that means there will be a lot of product manager roles posted this afternoon, but you have to learn how to pitch yourself to get an interview beyond sending an “I’m interested” message to the hiring team.
