Learn something new every single day. Awesome. So, so now it will pay attention. Let me let me go through this. Okay, come here. Important. How to learn more interviews. Okay, so everybody pay attention. Was the most oh my side. Coming back. So very important for all of you guys how to learn more interview opportunities regardless your layoff or you're trying to break into partner management. This is very important or someone who are senior PM you just want to advance your career. Okay, so number one thing for your resume. Let me stop sharing now. Pay attention. Write down what I tell you to do. Okay, number one thing. Two reasons people didn't get selected for an interview. Okay, number one, their resume is not that good. Number two, they didn't use a networking strategy. Okay, there's also a bonus tip which I discussed later on. Okay, two things and then plus the bonus. Now, let me elaborate two things. For your partner management resume, I know all of the guy reviews so many resumes. Okay, all of you guys are using most of the 99% of you guys. You're using the wrong strategy because your resume looks to average. So now let's have a right mindset. When you go into any job interviews, by the way, there's still over 20, 200,000 PM jobs out there. So there's still lots of jobs to say competition is too strong. So which means that the number one person is going to land a job. You're if you are second best, you're second best, you're not landing a job at all. Okay, third best is not landing a job. So you have to be the best of best, number one person landing a job. Now, what's the number one person is doing is that the resume and you have a three key element. Number one, the resume need to be able to demonstrate your unique skills and responsibilities that's related to product management, which means that you need hit all the PM keywords such as all the GTM strategy, writing requirement, like leading a team or like leading a cross functional team and develop roadmap and write requirements, user stories and all of this need to show up on your resume. And for lots of you guys here thing. Lots of you guys, if you transition into PM, lots of you guys are missing these keywords because you don't know how to package your past experience. I have a free training regarding how to package experience I can share with you. But for lots of you guys who are layoffs, now let's talk about layoff people. Okay, for people who are layoff, even if you have done those roles and responsibilities, you made the second mistake. Okay, second mistake is that you need to be able to let the recruiter know exactly your unique value proposition to the company. Let me break it down to you. Okay, very pay close attention and review so many resumes out there. Okay, it's crazy. Oh, by the way, we also have free resume review for layoff people. You can DM me, my team will send you a link if you're a layoff, by the way. So for all the layoff people, resume I reviewed, the second mistake they made was that on the resume, I cannot tell. So are you a specialized PM in AI space? Are you specialized PM in like platform space or specialized in IoT or data PM? And lots of time your resume needs to make it very clear to recruit it so that the resume within six seconds, they can tell, okay, this person had five years experience at AI program manager. This person had two years experience for the platform program manager, total seven years experience in ADCD, different kind of program manager position. So this is extremely important for all of you guys to understand. Yes, this is definitely extremely possible. Okay, so you do not use the generic resume because everybody who had PM experience, they were going to put the exact same PM keywords on the resume. What's mainly missing is that the recruits cannot tell why you're different from other people. So therefore your resume should be very, very, very clear regarding your unique strengths, what kind of product you work on such as AI, IoT data or any kind of product you had. And those whatever you highlight need to be relevant to the company. Let's say you interview with Instagram, TikTok, filter team, they design filter, okay. If you were to talk about your past experience, it's about IoT that has nothing to do with Instagram filter. So I wouldn't just put IoT as the keywords on the resume, but I'm going to do other stuff regarding like user engagement or anything you did regarding beautify, whatever things related to Instagram filter, to be frank. When I film my YouTube video, I don't put filters, so I have very little knowledge regarding how the filter things work when giving you the opposite example regarding IoT and filters that are very different. Okay. So therefore everybody's resume is very clear. I'm specialized in filters, Instagram filters, whatever. So therefore I'm qualified for your new job or I specialize in AI. So which means that all AI companies will be very happy to have you in the team. So you will be selected for an interview. I guarantee if you apply the strategy number two, the mistake number two, you're going to increase the sexer significantly for your resume. Okay. Number three, the third mistake people made when they are not able to get selected for an interview was because the achievement wasn't there to send out. Okay. So now let me bring down achievement for you guys. There are so many PMs out there. Okay. You need to use achievement to show others that you are outstanding, you're better than other people. This is the key. Okay. You cannot only talk about roles and responsibilities, you should talk about your contribution to the company. Okay. So I have free training, gave you specific examples, simple examples regarding what kind of PM achievement you can write about. Okay. So let me show you this. Let me show you where you can find the free training. Go to my YouTube channel, YouTube, and then you come here. You go to your channel. That's my channel. Well, it's going right right now. Awesome. By the way, Wednesday, we have our live podcast and episode number one, product insider podcast. This is amazing for director of growth PM. I'm very excited having Lupin to speak on our podcast. And by the way, our inner circle members also can join the Zoom call with our speaker. So when she's doing the podcast with me, you stay mute. But towards the end, you can ask questions. Okay. Inner circle members can directly join us. Oh, what is inner circle? Okay. So doc, we have lots of different programs out there, doc.ncd.com slash inner circle. Currency of inner circle is free. You can directly join us for free right here. And then inner circle can join our podcast members and us live Q&A as well. So I'm going to put in the chat as well. Okay. This is our next event, which we put us right here. One second. Let me put in the chat so you guys have it. All right. So let me continue this. Now the key is come here resume. I have Yes. Hit all the keywords in this. This video has the most view. People just search PM keywords, then they find those like tips, all the keywords you put. Okay. So go to watch this and give it like 744. Like go to this one. And but examples of your achievement is here. Lots of you guys, lots of you guys. Now, if you watch my YouTube video regarding how to write your keywords, you have outstanding resume to watch this video of all the keywords. Now, the problem with you guys is how to make you stand out. I have keywords are the examples. Okay. Examples of achievement you can post here, which I gave you like examples like this. You actually should use the same methodology. Okay. And then whoever registered our free masterclass tomorrow, Wednesday, you already received an email regarding the resume template. Okay. So once you register, you have the free resume template, you can use similar methodology to create your own like best resume ever. And then I teach you how to use proper folder so they can then more interviews immediately and more job offers actually immediately. Okay. So let me do this. Let me put this link here. Everyone need to watch this. People's resume is just not impressive. Everybody's resume looks the same nowadays, to be frank. Okay. I put it, I put it in the chat. I'm not sure if the chat went to LinkedIn. I think the integration of LinkedIn to the restreaming software I use is broken. If it's broken, just go to my YouTube channel, the one that I just shared with you. Take a screenshot of the pictures of the title. You can find this right away. Okay. So now after you have a perfect resume, it's about networking. Everybody understand this. In the past, when I personally went through two recessions, one in 2008 recession, the other one is the beginning of the pandemic, everyone, all companies went into hiring through it. That was April 2020. For April 2020, I land four PM positions. Actually, three of those are direct product positions offers. Okay. So among all the opportunities out there, I was able to know even if companies are not hiring, maybe one or two, 10 opportunities out there, how are you able to be the number one candidate? You got to take lots of notes and do the following things they ask you to do. Okay. I personally do not apply for jobs unless I have a referral. Because if you just apply for jobs online there, like thousands, 20,000 people just apply for the same jobs. All the resume, it just looks the same because people do not optimize the resume. Now, why on earth your resume will be selected for an interview? Okay. So in general, I don't apply for jobs unless I have a referral. Of course, nobody prevents you applying for jobs. My point is how would you increase, how would you 10 times interview opportunities? So you're free to apply for jobs online with very low expectations. If you apply online, low expectations, that's it. Okay. Now, second part is networking is the key. What do I mean by networking? You can do so many people you can network with. They are hiring managers, they're recruiters, that people already working for the companies. Okay. So all of those people already working for the company could be any of your friends. You are not like anybody out there. They want to go in, like talk to you and tell you about the companies and then pass your resume to the hiring manager. Anybody can pass your resume to the hiring managers is considered as a referral. Okay. With a referral, you will have significant highly opportunities to blend and interview. That's where the 10 times coming in, you can still directly apply online. Just do it. Okay. Just expect very low return rate anyway. Okay. So now, once you have those referrals, you need pitch yourself to the hiring manager. Very key, very important. Okay. Oops. What do I mean by pitch yourself to the hiring manager? Important. Number one thing. Number one, immediately, you have your 30 seconds elevator pitch ready. Lots of people's pitch are very long. You need to write something that they heard is going to fall off the chair. Very important. For example, my pitch, if I go, when I applied for director jobs, my pitch was a, hey, this is Dr. New City. I had like, at the time of five years experience, now eight years, I don't know, let's say five years. At the time, I had five years experience launching developing technology product. I launched the largest, I launched the first 5G Edge computing product in collaboration with Amazon and Microsoft. And the very first product I launched, Smart Cities product also received the mayor's best practice award in 2017. I was the youngest manager getting promoted faster was in Verizon and I had led the team of, I think at the time, how many five people? So I believe I'm perfect candidate for director position in your company, ABCD company, right? So this is my 30 seconds elevator pitch. You should create your own pitch and make it super, super impressive and people are, wow, gonna interview this person. Sounds like badass. Okay. So everyone, I believe everyone has a unique past experience can be repackaged into outstanding 30 seconds elevator pitch. Okay. It just needs some guidance. Let me show you the free training. You can do your 30 seconds elevator pitch. Come here. Come here. Go to see my screen. YouTube channel. Where is your pitch? This one. Tell me about yourself. Wow, 32,000 views. I love this. Okay. People need to give for 1K likes. Okay. Hey, guys, give more likes. The more likes, the better. Okay. Hit the like button. Just like hitting the keywords on your resume. You need to hit more like buttons. Okay. So now, come here. This video, tell me about yourself to really press part of manager interview interviewers. So this is the key. You need to do this right away. Okay. So while she's training where I teach you exactly how I crap my signature 30 seconds elevator pitch. Everybody needs to do it. Okay. Sorry. Let me share the link. In the chat. So immediately do that. Let me go here. Chat right here. Okay. I just shared. Can you see it in the chat? Take a look. Can you see it in the chat? And let me know if you see my link in the chat. Say yes in the chat. Okay. I think I just finished the sharing. Okay. Let me stop sharing. Awesome. Okay. Cool. I think this is nice. We have everything ready. Awesome. Okay. So if in the chat, if you can see the link I put in the chat, I believe I got everything ready. Awesome. Okay. Now let's go back to do the recap and Q&A. Okay. Recap. Everybody take lots of notes. Number one, let more interviews. Number one, you need key to PM resume. You need show three things, your keywords, your achievements, and also your unique value proposition to the company. Number two, you also need to network. Okay. Network is the key. And then when you network with other people, you have your signature 30 seconds elevator pitch immediately written. Now, number three, which is bonus. The bonus is that do not only apply or network with one person per company. You need to increase the number of reach, especially some of you guys want to hit like tier one companies. Tier one company usually are very big. Okay. For big company, this is critical. You need to directly reach out to like a lot of people in big companies because like for example, Google 100,000 people working for Google, if you only reach out to one person, how come that one person will be the hybrid manager or will be someone who can pass your resume to the hybrid manager? Just like the pool is so big for you to hit it. The target is so small. So therefore you need like for size, depending on the size of the company, the bigger the size, the more company you need to reach out to just because the person who is willing to help you may not be in the same department as the hybrid manager or the team, whoever is hiring. So that's still your opportunity. But as I said, did you hear what I said earlier? Amazons are still hiring. They start hiring again, but not all the company, some part of the company. Okay. Somebody, one of our students joining Amazon PM intern, L6 senior PM intern this summer. If you do not have an internship in your hand right now, you should be worried. Okay. You need speed up your process. As I said in my YouTube video in January, okay, there's a PM intern focus video, the prime season is in February. Okay. So now March is coming. If you don't have one March and you take massive actions because April by April, the good company, the tier one companies offer will be gone for sure. Okay. February, March is most offers coming in. You need to get ready. Okay. And someone also originally like a program manager position in Amazon as well. So some part of the department is hiring and you need to really up your game. Of course, we can not find companies as well, all possible opportunities. You just need to find the best one that's most very relevant for you. Okay. Cool. All right. And as you can see the link, this is awesome. I see Duane, Dom, right? They pronounce your name correctly. Dom, how are you? Yes, you say yes, you can see the link. Awesome. Awesome. Okay. Great. Cool. Let me take questions. Let me take questions. We have lots of questions coming in. Put your questions in the chat regarding question regarding resume and 10 times your interview opportunities. Okay. Oh, GGS. I have zero tech knowledge. How can I get in touch? How can I get into tech program management? Very good question. Okay. So first of all, you don't know how to code to become program manager, but if you want to become a technical program manager, first of all, the two things you need to understand. Number one, other people that who doesn't know how to code became a program manager. I have a student who actually, Eddie had no degree at all. He does have no degree. He doesn't know how to code. Let me show you guys. Okay. Okay. So that you say mentally, you'll be like, yes, this is like someone else can make it happen. I can do it as well. You still need to work harder. Okay. So let me show you first of all, someone else doesn't know how to code became a program manager. Now, you want to get into tech program management. You also need to learn some technical knowledge. It's not the coding skills. I'm going to show you what other tech knowledge you need to master. Okay. So first of all, let me start sharing my screen. How about here? Let's go back to it. Oh, it's here. For example, Eddie is one of the students. He has no degree at all. Okay. And he joined a month ago. I'm excited to share that I started a new position master club and currently a mission-driven team, different thing. He just shared in January. He started, of course, he tagged me as his mentor, helping to get in. So now Eddie has no degree. He didn't go to college. You see his past experience? He has no education. He had licenses. He got licenses. So if I want to manage licenses from our program, we taught him different kind of like knowledge. Okay. So he took different kind of certification. License certification. He got certification, not license. He got certifications from our program to learn different things. But he didn't go to school at all. Okay. Once you guys really understand, you don't need to like study coding to become a program manager. And guess what? His offer was a manager of program management. He's like, as a manager of program management at MasterCard. It's so exciting. It's like a senior PM level manager of program management, like someone never went to college. Okay. So now what I want to share with you is that what technical courses you can take to improve your understanding of technology, to become technical program manager, but you don't need to know how to code. Okay. There's different kind of technical courses. Oh, here, here, here. There's all lists of technical courses. Let me share with you. Where is it? Where is it? Let me share again. Put your questions, additional questions on the chat. Okay. Tacking of courses, this video. My most watched video, top 20 good program manager interview questions and how to answer them. I can't believe this video is only seven minutes long. About fully jam packed interview questions and resources you can use right away. Okay. So now in a given like 665,000, 100 lines, making thousands. Okay. Five different kind of interview questions. Now here's the thing very important for all of you guys. Description of these, these videos have different courses I recommend. All the courses, cloud architecture courses, how does the web work, how does the browser function, software, software architecture basis, there's so many different courses you can take yourself to have a better understanding of what's technology, but you don't know how to code. Okay. After you took those courses and also learn how program management work, you also need to take program management course because I have no experience. Without learning how program management work, why would you become a program manager and why you are not laid off even if you can manage up. Okay. Everyone need to upscale yourself during a recession so they can keep your job. Now, next part is that you need to build your product portfolio. Okay. You have zero experience. You want to break into PM, become technical PM. Demonstrate your product portfolio. Demonstrate A. I didn't know how to code, but here's my example product portfolio. I know how exactly to build product, how to do customer interviews. So all of this need to be shown in the product portfolio. Okay. So let me do this. So that's why I come to tomorrow's masterclass. Come here. Everybody come here. Go to docenancy.com slash masterclass. Just on my website, docenancy.com. The first big button you can click is slash masterclass. You come here, we will talk more regarding how to use product portfolio strategy to learn your tier PM offers. Okay. Come here. And also make sure you download your PM resume, a keyword template. So once you register, you have a link to download your resume template. Make sure to update your resume before we come in. Okay. We give you lots of free training gear. I want you to really speed up the process. Speed is a king. I don't want you to be like, well, the recession is coming like crazy. So it's more important you capture those opportunities. As I said, people still learning fan offers. Of course, not as many before. There's still tier one opportunities, opportunities out there. But even if you're not interviewing with like tier one companies, large companies, what if any, I don't know, small media company offer you opportunities? How long it takes to learn a job offer? How fast can you actually nail the interview? I use the number one candidate. Number one, as I said, number two, I'm not learning a job at all. Number one, you have to be number one. Okay. So use all the strategies, you got to take lots of notes and apply the strategies. I guarantee, once you put all the strategy, I put you in work, you're going to achieve significant outcome 10 times the interview. Okay. See any questions? Let me go to a chat. Let me go to a chat. App check. How are you? Welcome. Hey, there are two app check with two different last names. Surprise. Awesome. Awesome. On LinkedIn. Cool. Awesome. So I don't see, I answer all the questions.

Let me see the pre-submitted questions through the form submission. Oh, someone asked this question. So let me show my screen. There are pre-submitted questions on Google Form. In the description of the video, you can also see a Google Form, pre-submitted questions. Okay. How did I manage my job as a corner manager in tech companies? This is so generic question. Okay. Three steps. Number one, as a PM in the tech industry, number one is that I assume the person asked me this question, someone who doesn't have PM experience. For layoff people, you're using a different strategy. Okay. We have a special package for people who are layoff. You can receive like a free one-on-one resume review with me if you are layoff. Just say DM me saying that, hey, I'm layoff. I DM you on LinkedIn. Okay. YouTube, you cannot DM me. Just say DM me on LinkedIn. My YouTube page has a link to my LinkedIn. Okay. DM me on LinkedIn. You say, hey, Dr. Nancy, I'm layoff. At what time, by what company, I'm looking for a free resume review. We can review it for you. Okay. So go there. Now, for, oh, someone asked this question.

Someone asked a question. What is his name? I like to read people's name because everyone's name is very beautiful. A jamnip. Ask a question. How do they lend the job as a production tech company? I assume when you ask this question means that you do not have a job you're not laid off. Okay. For layoff people, I have a different strategy for you. Okay. So for people who break into PM, number one thing, three steps. Number one, you learn what's product management. You need to take product management courses and understand what's going on. Same thing as we want to be a software developer, you'd better learn how coding works. Like straightforward. Okay. Immediately do that. Learn product management. And instead of PMX, we have upscale courses. We teach you how to be a great product manager. Okay. So it's part of our upscale offers. We can discuss more regarding different kind of like packages we have within our program tomorrow. Just go stay until the end of master class. We can discuss more. Okay. So number one is you don't learn product management. If you don't know what's product management, how can you become product manager? If you don't know what's the product manager, how can you become what is how can you decide what's the product manager? It's crazy. By the way, I have an Amazon technical program manager who is our alumni of PMX. I'm teaching people next month in March how to become technical product program manager. How to become a technical program manager. Okay. So get ready and get our like notification in March regarding technical program manager from mental PM teaching you how to do it. But PMA Pro is for product management. But we have different kind of resources for different people. Okay. So now number one, learn product management. Number two, I'm going to build a product portfolio. Okay. The market is very competitive. Well, Amazon and different companies, they start higher again, but I use the number one. Only number one can manage up. You need to build a product portfolio to show that you are number one, very important. Okay. Now, number three is that you need to upgrade your resume, really learn how to use a networking strategy and to show them that you already have the relevant experience to put up a portfolio. And that's what you need to do. Okay. Now, for layout people, very important for whoever is layoff, anybody layoff, come on the chat layoff, put layoff on the chat so I know anyone who is layoff here. If nobody is layoff, I'm not going to show you the layoff strategies. Okay. Put layoff here. Cool. Put layoff in the chat if you're layoff. If nobody is layoff, I'm going to skip the layoff strategy today. Do you have strategy to shortlist your target companies? Abyshek Centos asks this question. To shortlist a company, are there certain parameters to take into consideration to rank them? Ah, very good question. Yes. This happened multiple times. I have been working for Google. Now I'm saying, whoa, what's the best way to shortlist companies? I also have a good friend. It's crazy. She joined Google nine months ago from Boston. She moved to California nine months ago from Boston and then joined Google. And then nine months later, she was part of 12,000 people layoff from Google. And then everybody in Google is thinking about the same thing. Hey, there's so many companies, how to shortlist those, what the criteria is to select them. How do I know they are the right company to consider? Okay. So how to rank them. Here is the strategy below. Okay. So number one, for all the coming, you can search. Hey, guys, let's do this together. There are opportunities out there. You are just not the best to be frank with you guys. Okay. So let me do this. Go to my LinkedIn. Let me show you my this. Let's do this together. One second. Let me show you my screen. Let me show you how to do it. How to rank companies. Number one. Okay. Go to my LinkedIn. Follow me, Doc Nancy. Okay. So is this me? Yes. Come here and hit follow. This is my profile. I can see myself. Very cool. Oh, LinkedIn, LinkedIn, the future you when you when you go live. Okay. Very cool. Okay. So go to my LinkedIn as an example. Well, you can directly follow me, but I cannot follow myself to directly follow me. We're going to publish lots of like tips and content on LinkedIn lately. So we have like more and more every single day we have new tips. Okay. Come here. Oh, by the way, whoever they are, they are people come here. Lay off, whoever is lay off, come here to book the free resume review. Want to really want to make sure that they are people quickly in the job is extremely scary and stressful. No certainty. You're able to land a job is that in five months, six months a year, or one month, right? It's like super stressful. So we offer free resume review for layoff people, only if you're layoff. Okay. If you're not layoff, you don't get free resources because we have limited spots available. So 10 spots come here. Now let's go here, jobs. Let me show you how to show us these companies, how to rank them. And how to call a search product. Let's say, put a million jobs in the United States, 161,000 jobs out there. Okay. So 160, it's like so many jobs. People always say, I cannot land a job because you're not good enough. Over 160,000 people are landing PM jobs in the US. You're just not one of them to be frank, was because you're not good enough. That's why I learned how to be the top 1%. That's why I take all the notes I teach you today. We have lots of free trainings. You'd better take lots of notes. Okay. Now, number, continue. So many shortest companies. Number one thing is that in general, if you want to join top tier companies based on the size, you can direct it for them warmer. We know the brand. Any kind of large company know the brand Apple. Apple is still hiring. People say, there's no opportunities for any company really. One of our mentors senior PM and Apple. Okay. Insider PM, etc. Okay. Post a week ago, and they're going to pay this base salary plus different bonus and people like total package over $300,000 per year. For example, right now I have 164 school alumni working for Apple. If I want to take this job, but just reach out to them, a lot of different connections can refer me. You should leverage the same opportunities as well. You are not good enough. It's not, hey, there's no opportunities. You really need to upscale yourself, learn the best strategies to be frank with you guys. Okay. Being very straightforward with you guys. Now, let's say if you want to join a tier one companies, you can direct search the companies and then you can see the size of the company. Usually for the very branding companies like Apple is good. Walmart doesn't have the reputation of fan companies, but they have the size. Walmart, this is good. Adobe. Yeah. Adobe is also hiring lots of people out there. You can see the different kind of size. Based on the size of the company, it's going to give you an indication. We have a student actually worked for Airwarks before. Okay. So you can check out these companies. Actually, lots of companies. I know the company because I was doing working there. That's why I know the brand. Okay. But here's how you feel. We have students working there before. It's pretty good companies as well. So you're great. Okay. For you guys to not have my knowledge, number one thing, you understand that, hey, immediately, based on the size of the company, you can look up the size of the company. For example, we have a student working for Viva. You don't know what Viva is. It's a public company. It's a portion of a public company. Working for the company is huge. Based on the size of the company, you can understand, oh, this must be like a decent company. And then you go to their website, do more research. And then you can like school alumni who is my school alumni working there. Then you can contact your school alumni. Alumni ask them, hey, about the company culture. What do you like about the company? Those how you shortlist those companies? Number one, let's assume like large size tier one company. By the way, the reason you haven't heard of Viva system before was that they're providing cloud solutions for medical, whatever companies such as Pfizer, Genetic, they are Novartic. Pfizer, Novartic, Genesis, they are all customers of this company. Consumer didn't hear about this, because they are great B2B companies. This is amazing company you guys should look for. So talk to your school alumni, go to their website, understand the size of the company. Number one thing. And then that's how you identify all different types of large size company. What about small size companies? Let's go to some small companies. Let's find any small company. By the way, LinkedIn recommendation to me is very different to you guys, because I am more senior. So they give me different things. For example, what is storm three? I don't know what storm three. For example, this is like small company senior portal manager, staffing recruiting company. Is this the outsourcing opportunity? Okay, this doesn't count. This is their client. Let me find small companies. For example, this company, this small senior portal manager in a small company, and then you go to the LinkedIn page. The way to see how good the companies are is that in the people working there, do you aspire to work with people with similar LinkedIn profile like them? Oh, this one was a very PMP, just pick her as an example. So she's a PMP and what kind of background she has. Is this person impressive? Is someone like me willing to work with them? That's a good indication to show that well, is this type of good company? Because a good company attracts the best talent. Okay, if you think this person is very impressive, the best talent in the company, she was attracted by the company, probably this company is pretty good. So I should apply for the same company as well. Okay, that's how you rank those companies. And of course, see anybody who has the same background as you, which is also very important. People with similar background like you, as an indication, they like people like you. But could also be, for example, if like me, I'm an immigrant, I moved to US with $800 in my pocket, never had money while growing up, and never received any penny for my family. In fact, I sent money from China to China every single year. It's crazy. So I was very poor, very broke. Okay, so when I look for company, I want to take a look at like companies who also say, Oh, there's the immigrant companies. Oh, they also come from other companies as a culture. Oh, they also own H1B. So they understand the challenges that sponsoring H1B is getting green card to me 11 years to get my green card. Okay, so that's how you evaluate different companies. I hope this is a great, indeed, like resources for you to start evaluating companies. Okay. Cool. Let me continue. Hold on. Let me check other questions. Chat parameters, rank them. Okay, awesome. I hope this answer did answer your question and come on the chat. Duan, so what if you haven't worked in the top tier company? How would you become a candidate for a manager job? You don't need to work for top tier companies. Most of our students inside PMX, they don't work for tier one company. We help them to land a job in top tier companies. Okay, so you upgrade. Our program will upgrade people. If you already go to Harvard business school, and you already work for Google, and then you want to join Metta, and those kind of companies, we do not help because they're not qualified for program. We want to make the product management career available for everybody. You're already going to have a business school. Why are you here? Go figure out yourself. Okay, so it's like crazy. So lots of 99.99% of students, they do not go to top tier schools. Like, no. People from Harvard are not in my program. Nobody from MIT are in my program. Okay, and nobody work for like Google in my program. But we have people in Google alumni. We have lots of alumni working for Metta, Amazon, any places. Okay, it was because they upgrade. They didn't work for tier one companies, but we upgrade them into tier one companies. That's our bread and butter. We upgrade our students. That's why we upscale you and also give you the customized one-on-one mock interview to tell you how would you be able to present yourself better in the interview. But before we do that, we'll upscale you. So because you do reach the tier one company level, the skills, you need to master those skills. Okay. Yes, you know, you don't need to join Google. You ought to join Metta. That's just like rich people's problems that you're already very successful. Why? Well, it's like, no, they're irrelevant to me. I'm one of the poor immigrant. I understand I had no resources, no connections, no families, no money when I moved to US. I understand we had nothing. You start from bottom, how to rise up, how to climb up. Okay. So that's just like, yes, you can for sure. You don't need to work for tier one companies. It's crazy. Okay. So now if you don't work for tier one company, how can you join tier one company? Very important. Okay. Number one thing is that you need to learn how tier one companies actually work. The work process, the people, how do they actually communicate? And the new methodology, the latest methodologies they use to create the best product ever in the world, right? Google product impact lots of people, right? But there's a methodology how they build the best product out there like Meta or different companies. And Meta is going through very deep trouble right now. I'd rather you guys join like Apple type companies. Okay. Google, Google ever my Google and Apple are my favorite companies. Okay. So those are good. Yes. So number one, learn how tier one company, we should find company build the product. Number one, number two, you need to demonstrate your unique value proposition to the company using the portfolio strategy, resume strategy which we already covered earlier in the free in the free training, pre-event training today. Okay. So now the event itself is a masterclass which I dive deeper into portfolio. You guys should register. Okay. Number three, once you have those ready, you need to learn how to best pitch yourself so networking and referrals get into the front in front of the hiring manager. And then number four, you also need customized advice regarding, hey, what went wrong? To be frank with you guys, lots of you guys, but well, I just go out for interview. I interviewed with 100 people, eventually 100 company, eventually landed job really. We're going through recession. Are there 100 interview opportunities being presented in front of you? You're going nuts. Okay. So it's more about, whoa, what if I only have one interview opportunities? What should I do? What should I say? How can I say it better? What did I say wrong? If I say it this way, how can I improve it? Right? So you really need to receive customized advice in terms of, hey, for this advice, this kind of answer, you're going to say this way, this kind of answers it. This way you need to change your answer, change how we present yourself, change how you package your story for your past experience. Okay. So that's how we upgrade ourselves into our students, into thank companies. Okay. And this happened multiple times all the time. None of my students went to like Harvard business schools, you know, that's different. And cool. Sony. I don't know if I'm qualified to be a PM, simply have a passion for building product. But I've never felt supported to pursue management. Okay. That could be it. Okay. So now, if you don't know you're qualified for PM, I suggest you to wash lots of free training on my YouTube channel regarding roles and responsibilities of product managers, six skills to become a PR manager, like Brutal Choose or become a PM. Don't be a PM if you do this, if differences between good PM, bad PM. So wash those free training. So let me show you the free training. Okay. Number one, you do need to watch lots of free training. Okay. But I've never felt supported to pursue management, but you have passion for building product. Here's the thing. I've advised for you, for everyone who has a passion for building products, you need to take massive actions. Okay. You need to learn first. So you see what's required, what does it look like? Number one thing. Number two is that if this is a true passion, you need to pursue your product management. I'm very, very sincere with you. Life is long. In my inner circle last Thursday, and everyone check out inner circle later, I will send you link for inner circle. In my inner circle, I gave one hour free training, inner circle free, by the way, you can join Zoom with me. We have like 40 different people joined like inner circle last week. That's my first inner circle every month with inner circles. Okay. So now back to the main thing. When you talk about, you don't know the qualifier now, you have passion also in the inner circle training, I talked about something important, which is the mindset regarding your definition of life. People were describing your life. Tell me, right? My life is a blank word. For example, your life could be a dance. Your life could be school. Your life could be a marathon. Life could be whatever. Describe it. What is life? Life is blank, filling in. Putting comma on the chat. Life is what? Put comma on the chat. Okay. Your definition of life, everyone's different. Okay. If you think life is a dance, means you must live a very fun life. Come on the chat. Life is what? Complete the sentence for me. Life is what? To me, life is school. Okay. School is means that you continue learning, upscale yourself, and improve yourself and learn your things and grow. Life is school. It's like growing, continuous growing for the rest of life. Someone think life is a marathon. So let me define what life is a marathon, right? You work from age 20 to age 60. You have 40 years. Your life is a marathon. If you're passionate for building product, using technology, inventing something amazing, using those whatever design, digital product, and communicating with customers, solving their pain points, and impact millions people's life, you have 40 years ahead of you. Why don't you take massive actions right now? Because life is a marathon. It's not about today. I cannot become a PM. Why do you learn how to be a PM? We have lots of different upscale trainings inside a PM accelerator. You can join and learn. So first thing is you join our free masterclass, learn about portfolio, different things. We have lots of free training. You can just take manage of all hundreds free training on YouTube today. Number one thing, you understand life is a marathon. Of course, different definitions. You can live the dance, whatever. Put it on the chat. Life is what? I want to learn, by the way. Okay. Put it in the chat. So if you understand that, you have 40 years working. You have a passion for something. You need to take massive action right now. Would you feel comfortable when you retire at age 60, you're still doing what you're doing right now? What are you crap? I will kill myself. Seriously. What the heck is doing? What the heck? I have 40 years to change my life. Why don't I pursue my passion? Seriously. Okay. And on average, every 10 years, there's a recession. What's in 40 years, you're going through four recessions. Everyone needs to go through recessions. Recession can create great opportunities, can also create bad opportunities. Great opportunities are available for people. If you know how to invest, when recession hits, that's the best opportunity. Lots of people waiting for the recession to invest their money. Seriously, you can get 10 times whatever grows. In 2008, people get 10 times gross of the money during 2008 recession. Recession could be good. And everybody going through recessions, assuming you live at least age of 60. Okay. I expect. I live at age 100. Now I'm going through every session. So life is what? Come on the chat. So if you have a great passion, I encourage you to actually pursue your passion. Life is too short. You have wasted 40 years doing what you're doing right now. What the heck are you thinking about? Immediately upscale yourself, learn what is product management, and take some real-life hands-on skills. How to interview a customer? How to write a requirement? How to manage cross-functional teams? Learn those upscales. And then you can become a PM if you put your mind to it. Lots of people, 91% product manager today, their first job is not product manager. They're all transitioning to PM. They're something else. Sales, marketing, software engineers, designers, consultants, they all become a PM. But people in healthcare industry become a PM. Any major educational industry become a PM. Any major, any field you had, I have examples. I have students who transition into product management with that field. So I wouldn't be like, well, I don't know. You come in to do evaluation, learn some free stuff, and you start like, this become a mast. I have 40 years to do work. I'd better do something that exciting. Okay. Follow your passion. Young people, especially young people, don't give up too early. I have someone who's 49, 59 years, 57 years old. My oldest student, 57 years old. She was like, I still have 20 years, 40 years ahead of me. I'm not ending my career. I'm just like, continue to grow. Early in her career, she said she put lots of effort in her family. She prioritized everyone else. Her husband, everybody else in her life. She didn't prioritize herself. Now at age 57, she had a broken moment. She said, whoa, I need to prioritize myself. This is a year for me to grow and accelerate. And yes, she became a product manager at age 57. Any young people, don't tell me that you have passion. You don't know if you want to pursue you or not. Okay. Sony, did this make sense to you? Are you still listening? If not, make sure you go watch it again. Okay. Anybody find this inspiring? Share this video. Share my train. Just you post reshare on LinkedIn. Re-share my YouTube channel.
