Building a Winning PM Resume

An in-depth, practical guide for getting product manager interviews


Did you know that for every product manager job opening, hiring managers will receive 50 to 200+ applications per role?

To succeed as a product manager, your resume needs to be powerfully written. After all, PM hiring managers pick only the best resumes to move into the interview round.

But how do you stand out of the crowd? By learning what PM hiring managers are looking for.

Your instructor, Clement Kao, has served on dozens of PM hiring panels and reviewed hundreds of resumes. He knows how PM hiring managers decide which resumes to accept... and which to reject.

Through his live one-on-one coaching, Clement has helped candidates secure PM job offers at FAANG companies and fast-growing startups.

We've consolidating this knowledge into an on-demand video course to help you write the most powerful resume you've ever written.

We'll walk you through awesome resumes, and not-so-good ones too.

Here's a 3-minute clip from our course explaining why a particular resume will stand out vs. its competition.

πŸ† Our Track Record


Our approach to PM resume writing has transformed people's careers. Below is a small sample of our results (full testimonials here).

Product manager: A product manager working at a large tech company wanted to join smaller, fast-paced organizations so they could make a bigger impact on the job.

End result: After leveraging the frameworks in this course, this product manager was asked by more than a dozen companies to interview, enabling them to choose from a variety of PM offers.

Product leader: A Director of Product wanted to step up into high-impact product leadership roles, and she knew that she needed to revamp her resume to do so.

End result: She used the knowledge in this course to refine her resume, enabling her to secure interviews with Chief Product Officers and CEOs. She accepted a job offer as Vice President of Product.

College student: She had prior internships in tech as a non-PM, but she wanted to secure a PM internship next. She already applied for a few PM intern roles but wasn't able to get a single interview.

End result: This college student updated her resume using the approach detailed in this course. By doing so, she secured multiple PM interviews and accepted a PM summer internship at a Fortune 500 company.

Non-PM professional: A management consultant couldn't get any PM interviews. He had sent in 200+ resumes over the course of 8 weeks, but only got 2 interviews (less than 1% interview rate). And, none of these interviews turned into job offers.

End result: By taking this course, this consultant overhauled his resumes. Within his first 5 revamped resume submissions, he had 4 interviews lined up (80% interview rate), turning into 2 PM job offers.
