Okay. And now feel free to also put your questions in the chat as well and that I'm going to bring it up and share with you the latest strategy. Okay. Cool. And now quick strategy everybody you must understand when you go out for your resume application, most companies are looking for the match of keywords if you apply online such as LinkedIn or Indeed or directly apply like on the career website of different companies. They are looking for the career matches. If they're looking for, let's say those AI, ML, JNAI, those kind of keywords or building models, all those examples of advanced technology or they want to see examples of you writing requirements, requirement documentation, driving roadmap, strategy. Those should be keywords on your resume based on what the skill set they're looking for. The more keywords you have, the more likely they're going to offer you and job interview. Okay. So that's the key. And also the next part is how you write your achievement on your resume. And now I'm going to use some live resume examples and show you how we did it. And let me show you my screen right here. We have Vijanda. Yes. I got your resume. Let me do this. Hold on. Let me share the next the resume session. Okay, let me put up your resume. Koko Koko. Vijanda. Did I pronounce your name correctly? Vijanda or Wahara? Free resume view. You joined on March 25. Oh, today you joined a muscle class today. Awesome. Okay, so now let me share your resume. Very sure to mention. It's a 14 years experience. And let me see. Let me see. You have 14 years experience in guiding teams with so many members, proficient in it. It's about role, math, strategy, life cycle management, leadership, pro-unit, initial launch of Invoicing and Preparing, leading a rental team of 10. I think the first one is good, except I mean, the scale level. Oh, you said 14 years experience is total years experience. Your PM, this is the latest one is only the latest PM experience. The passes are analysts, I see. I was like, why is there no pro-strategy type of work here? You're doing pro-owner, pro-design. Okay, so you have one year experience. You have a career gap. You have we recently all come on the chat. We recently all why do you have a career gap? Interesting. Okay, so now first paragraph, like, I think the top three is good. Down below looks at very operational focus. And for example, like implementing scaled agile safe framework that program can use agile in different ways. For example, you can say, let a team of 20 or 10 or five software engineers using agile development methodology to create ABCD type of technology or ABCD type of product, right? And that's more related to management. And I think this sounds, this sounds more operational. The final few resume bully points sounds very operational. On the few, the top ones is something I like because more related to PM. Okay, I want you to rewrite what you have down below and make it more PM driven. Okay, now for your PayPal, the team of eight, so many people, overhaul the rest, roof for prevention analyst, would you be able to rewrite your past experience making more PM driven? For example, analyzing others, if you can describe if you analyze in data, would you be able to write it towards creating KPI or product access metrics of ABCD risk investigation process and being able to lead the team to achieve 80% of the KPI target or ABCD things, right? This product access metrics you can write in different ways. A negotiation leadership facilitating whatever team members, if you say you negotiate with leadership facilitates those kind of teams maybe can say let a team of let's say two or five or six data analysts to do or to launch ABCD product, right? So rewrite how you write the style of your resume. And I think there's lots of great things you can like dig in later on, especially for those business analysts from master, those skillset are very similar to PM. I think is the way you write your experience wasn't very product style. But the beginning of the few actually is something what I like. Okay, so now let me go to YouTube channel and share your resources. Go to the YouTube channel and find my name search doc Nancy Lee. And you are able to do this. Coco, which one? Here, I gave you the this resume, per manager resume tips with no experience, this specific video where I gave you examples of how would I write certain kind of description of those interviews, for example, this one. And so that's how you need to really write it in different ways. And then on your resume, I like to see more impact, which you already have those kind of impact, which is good already. I think your main problem is the ones you wrote a more very operational treatment. I want to write it in a different way. For example, as examples, I gave you on this resume on this video, okay, in this video. Okay, so let me bring up the next one. Okay, so next one, people ask me, okay, what email to send a resume review here? Okay, so let me share my email again. RAM sheet, I got your resume, you're the next. Let me share people the email, people ask email again, right here. Okay, this email, you can email my team info.pmx.io when I'm not live. And he is going to invite you to join me on zoom to review all your resumes with me together. Okay, make sure to email this person. Right now, my team should already send you the zoom link to join me as we are speaking. Okay, and when I'm live right now, you can if you didn't send it to him when I'm live right now, you should direct go to Nancy at documents.ly.com. Okay, this is what you need to do Nancy at documents.ly.com right here. And then I'm going to bring up your resume right away. Okay, this is what's going on in your email title, please follow the process, make it clear regarding Hey, this is free resume review dash the day to join the masterclass because one of prioritize people join the masterclass will give people free resume review for masterclass. Let me post here. And this is here. Okay, so my masterclass teach you how to create a portfolio in two weeks, even if you're being laid off or have zero PM experience. Okay, so after this, you know how exactly you are able to create your part of portfolio. So you're ready for job hunting and will also teach you how to use networking to learn more interviews as well. And now before you come in, we always want people to have their resume ready. That's why we review resume for free. So in your email, make sure to say the date you attended the masterclass free resume review the date you attended because one prior has people already attended. Okay, we have 45 minutes in total today. Oh, something make sure you should also download in PM interview questions database. Let me also put it here. PM interview questions database, feel free to do so. And so that you are ready for your upcoming interview, let me put in the chat. Let's say both YouTube and LinkedIn and then my next resume. Okay, cool. Okay, now let me jump to the resume review. Right here, this one, rush, rum shed. Okay, let me review resume now. archetype here. And you see junior architect. You have, you have a career gap as well. What's going on? If you have a career gap, people will ask you, did you go to school? Oh, I think I'm going to school right now. Maybe. Okay, let me review resume design development. Is your design the building design or interior design? Education. Okay, this resume need to be rewritten, because you have the keywords here and you took some part management certification, which is good. But I want you to spend more time talking about what's relevant to PM for example, your latest job as architect, I don't think it's too much relevant to PM. In this situation, I want to create a part of portfolio. Okay, then you can make it as a project or related work experience under the professional experience as most like relevant to PM because what you did in the past literally has nothing to do with PM. If you want to talk about project requirements, for example, you have some key was regarding project requirement here. If so, let's think about what exactly you did with that regarding requirement, you can write it in different ways, you can say, wrote part of requirement documentation, that's a way to do it to capture the needs and desire of customers. And so they can translate it into the engineering facing requirement, you can write it that way. Okay, so the way you write it is not very product driven. And I think most important thing is if you had down those education, I want you to create a part of portfolio so that in your portfolio, you can spend lots of time talking about what you did when you build a part of portfolio, did you interview customers part of road map or strategy, designer go to market strategy, all of those. And then you can put in resume show that you already have done something related to PM. That's more powerful than what you have in your current resume. Okay, so that's the main problem. Okay, so go to this masterclass where create a part of portfolio in two weeks, even if being laid off or zero PM experience. Okay, feel free to go here and learn what is part of portfolio and the key element needs to be included in a part of portfolio, all of this need to be changed. Okay, I think this yeah, the resume need to be rewritten completely. No, let me let me go see the next one. So that's sigh. Yes, I got an email. Freshman pursue a master in management information. In the field currently attending the live resume review. Okay, cool. Okay, so let me review this resume. Let me share my screen right here. So you're currently in school, University of Tennessee December 2004. Okay, we should speed up your job hunting process, you must land into internship this summer. Or it will impact you landing a full time job opportunities. Internship is very critical. Now you're studying some Python, software engineer, your software engineer, and put an endless intern, you're assisting in a data-driven solution. Projects, okay, cool. Alright, now here's how to rewrite your resume. First of all, for this internship experience, which I like this related to product. Okay, let's fix this one first. So review system design data-driven solution actions is good. Spare weekly eye to know you spearheaded. This is totally a consultant style. We really do not like consultant style resume. We want to just see people actually do the work instead of just saying things sounds nicer. Pricing inside cross functional teams. You said lots of impact, but you didn't tell us too much regarding what you did. And I see another spearheaded something is so weird, your intern spearheaded something. Can you be true to the interview process? You can just say let a team of maybe one or two, maybe three, software engineers to implement the agile methodology and created ABCD product, right? That's more straightforward than this. There's also fancy, like, consultant style resume, which we do not like in general. Now for your software engineer, and all of this software engineer data and this intern and all of this experience you had in the past, you must rewrite it in a way that's more matching to PM, for example, analyze, implement test scripts and test plans and all of this, right? And you can describe you work with a team of engineers and translate the business requirement into engineering-facing technical requirement so that you're able to create a test plan to do ABCD things, right? So the way you describe this is very software engineering focused, very operational. I want you to say it in the lens of prime management, okay? And actually lots of people with software engineering background became a successful prime manager. This is totally, like, advantage you should capture, but the way you describe it still sounds very software-driven, but I like you have lots of impact, which is great. Okay, so rewrite it and follow this guide and I'll show you how to write resume, right here. So this video initially gave you an example, see it right here. With example sentences, you can write on your resume to say it in a different way. You'll be able to get it. Okay, la, la, la, all right, let me go to the next one. Cool. Feel free to submit your questions on the chat as well. Yeah, the word genre is my pronunciation of your name is correct. This is great. Good to know. Awesome, okay, great. Yeah, feel free to put your questions in the chat, but looks like I've reviewed all the live submitted questions. If you request the Zoom link through my team, my team should also email you the Zoom link as well. Okay, you can join me on Zoom, but if you're not joining me on Zoom, then email me your resume directly as well. Okay, so we should be good to go. We have everything. I don't know. We got everything. Cool, okay, great. So looks like I reviewed all the live resumes. So let me share my email, not email, let me share this link again and with my email so you guys can send at the same time right here. So this one, nancy at darknancy.com and send me a resume live when I go live and when I'm not going live, you can email my team. He's going to send you a Zoom link to join me right now so that we're speaking so we can review your resume life. Okay, cool. Now this is the information you need for all of you guys for your resume review. Now let me check. Cool, okay, great. So looks like I answered or I review all the resumes pre-submitted. Okay, great. So if any questions, feel free to come on the chat regarding upcoming interviews or your resumes or maybe what's the latest progress that may come on the chat. Love to hear as well. And as now at the same time, let me share with you the latest market trend and action filming video today regarding market trend for the entire industry. So currently we have a lot of activities in the job market right now. It's crazy. Literally the second half of March, we had the one week within the second half of March is receiving way more offers than one month in February. So the entire market started warm up. Specifically, how things work is for example, companies, we have students who interview a company in January, but the company didn't have the funding or money. So the way to give the job offer in March, they waited for two months. Literally this happened. And also happened a lot of life with the NVIDIA. I have a student join NVIDIA and join Intel. They all receive offers within March. So March is roughly where the takeoff of the primary cooling system. Now for lots of companies, they also give bonuses by the end of March. Usually around March, people give bonuses of last year. So lots of people want to just collect bonuses and just leave. So that's why it's right now the market starts warming up. And actually like one week equals one month compared in February and January, which also makes lots of sense. And that's coming in. The budget wasn't allocated until March and now they start to use the budget because the budget usually getting approved in January and they allocate those budgets like in March. So once they get budget, that's why lots of activities are going on happening right now. So I want everybody to really understand the latest trend and also the stock market has been up and Bitcoin also very high right now. So when the economy is good, people start to hire more because they need to grow within the team and grow the product together. So therefore get ready for your upcoming interviews and have your resume ready as well. Okay, so that's the latest market trends and people need to understand. Awesome, awesome. Cool. Let me see. Have you received any questions? Let me go to the back end. Hold on, I have, okay, I have question. Oh, okay. So when just the Zhengdua said, is it bad to have a career gap? Yeah, it is bad. Or at least you need the justification to talk about your career gap, right? Okay, in general, we do not like career gap. If you go to school, I think it's fine. If you have a huge career gap without very obvious reasons, you need to really think about it. Well, that's why I create part of portfolio, maybe doing a career gap. Oh, I'm working on part of portfolio doing a career gap because working on part of portfolio kind of experience. Okay, and can also count as something that's related to product management, adding value to resume as well. So we can think about it, how to do it. So that's why I go to my website and this big button in the home page, you can go there and create your part of portfolio, learn how to create part of portfolio in my upcoming master class. Okay, so that's the main thing. Yes, in general, I don't like career gap. Ramshad, you said you're doing building design. I see. Yes, as I said earlier, your resume will be rewritten and something we want to see more. Will case studying a portfolio be considered as experience? Yes, it will be. Yes, good question. In early days, we didn't have much product manager role. BA, we're doing all the parts to my resume, doesn't have this designation, but I did new project women or how can get better in my resume? Oh, great question. Yes, if BA at the time, there's no PM title, but BA is doing the PM work, you just need to really put in the examples of your PM work. I know BA wrote lots of requirements and communicate with the engineering team to develop the product. That's one of the best ways for you to show off your PM experience. Right now, in your resume, I don't see regarding, hey, I'm a BA, but I wrote requirements. The way you wrote it just wasn't very well done. Okay, I gave you examples where you can do it and figure out how to write it better. Okay, so that's a reason. So now let me show you, let me show this one. By the way, we have lots of students with BA background that become a PM, 20 percent you can become PM. That's for sure by default. Okay, the same very, it's the same responsibilities. For example, the way you write it, if you're a BA, you should write about, hey, I wrote requirements. Engineering facing and translate into engineering facing technical requirement, work with a group engineering team to create a product. So watch this video where I gave you specific examples out here. Okay, and then talk about impact. But you guys today, you guys did a good job talking about impact. So that should be fine. And just the parts, the earlier description, I don't think you have everything you need to really show off that even if I had a BA title, I have it on the PM work. That's something significant lacking on your resume. Okay, Sai, I have an interview coming up for product management internship. I'm a fresher. How can I navigate and able to crack the interview? Very good. Okay, so for this specific questions, if you have an interview coming up and as a fresher for PM internship, first of all, there's a lots of PM internships giving up right now. As when speaking, our students already receive job offer from NVIDIA. I'm very excited that NVIDIA PM internship. That's like the best of best. Very, very exciting. And I'm like, even in like startup companies giving PM internship job offers as well. It's very, very exciting for all of you guys. Okay, yes, get ready for your upcoming interviews for your internship. So number one thing, if you have an internship interview coming up to crack the interview, you must learn the best framework. You can answer this question without framework. You don't know how to get started. Okay, so number two, once you master the framework, the best way is to demonstrate you know how to do the job before you even manage up. So which means that you should study the company's product and think about how would you improve existing product and figure out what's the best methodology for you to demonstrate your skills that can do the job. For example, I always recommend our student create part of a photo because you can demonstrate, hey, I know how to do the job, see the examples of part of a photo I've done in the past. For example, if they want you to write requirement, here's the requirement I have written in the past. And all of this is the best methodology for you to get started with your upcoming like the PM internship interviews. Okay, very, very critical. Everybody, you need to capture the primary recruiting season. Okay, March, April and May by the end of May, usually all the internship offers are gone, so you must learn by immediately tap into the great resources. Okay, regarding frameworks, so let me share with you the free framework I have on my YouTube channel. Okay, you're up, you're go here, your framework should look like this. Okay, all the frameworks are here in my playlist. For example, the top 10 hardest part manager behavioral interview questions are here. Okay, which I gave you the grail framework and how would you like to put a design for a case, for metrics, different examples. Okay, so we'll watch this. I talk about the grail framework for behavioral interview questions. And then in this playlist, you should also check out our latest videos. For example, this part design framework I covered in this best part manager interview sample answers and top 20 Google interview questions database. So all of this have this sample framework you can use. Okay, I also have my latest video, which is summary of all my framework. The top 10, I believe is here in this playlist. Here, the, this one, summary of the framework. The six hardest but most common part manager interview questions and answers. Okay, it's here, which has a summary of different framework for different type of questions. And this is one of the best videos you should watch to learn those framework right away. Let me share this. Make sure to give it like, like and comment. And this is literally the best video you should watch. And I think total 15 minutes is going to save you 15% of your current insurance. It's a guy called framework. But anyway, so 15 minutes is going to save you 15 hours of study time. Okay, so let me put it in the chat. I put the video in the chat of LinkedIn and YouTube. Okay, put it in the back end. Great, cool. Okay, so now let me go to the next question. Hold on, I have so many questions coming up. Okay, the heat on past question person with seven years PM, seven years experience it, six years experience in management, five years experience in part owner, but I don't have MBA degree. Should I still get one? Is there any value fund? No, no, no, no, you really do not need the MBA. If you want, if your goal is to become a PM, please do not get an MBA. If it goes, well, let me join those Harvard club, you know, for long term reputation purposes and also for networking purposes, you're going to MBA school is made for networking. So, you know, great people in the long run, they can hire, they can help you as alumni, right? But except the networking purposes and your personal ego want to go to Harvard, you know, I don't recommend anybody to get MBA degree. In contrast, you can learn all the MBA knowledge by spending like five grand, 10 grand in any kind of courses and also the most important thing is apply what you learned in those real life examples such as through product portfolio, which I emphasize 100 times, many of our student man job offers through the product portfolio. Okay, so therefore, once you build your product portfolio, you learn those MBA knowledge, you create something and then you become PM. But at the same time, you also mentioned you already being in the industry for like how many years, seven years in IT and on many management experience, also five years in product owner experience, you are already very qualified to learn your next PM job to 100%, okay? You can directly go out to like literally learn a job offer today. Okay, so it's more about do you use the right strategy, do you package past experience, do you know how to present yourself, do you have product portfolio, do you know how to crack the product design interview, product execution interview and all of this. And lately I held one my student preparing for open AI, final round interview, he's interviewing for the provider position. Same thing, he's learning all the best framework I just shared with you earlier in my YouTube videos and you guys just use the most practical knowledge instead of wasting $200,000 per year to learn the MBA is a waste of money, seriously. Okay, I'm totally against it, crazy. Okay, cool. All right, looks like I answered all the questions. Let me confirm, looks like I answered all the questions. What about BC master degree and based on your experience, I don't think you need a degree unless personally you have a personal desire saying that, hey, I need a degree, all my friends had at least a master's degree, I want a degree so you feel better about yourself. That's a different story or you also feel like, you know what, being more educated is better or learning new knowledge is better. That's a different story than is this related to PM. If you want to become PM based on experience, you don't need a degree, you don't need additional degree based on what you have right now. Okay, unless you have personal drive, that's beyond learning a PM job or be a great PM. Yes, you can take any kind of degrees, but I'm highly against MBA because waste of money, very expensive. Okay, different kind of master degree depends on what you want to the knowledge you want to learn on a master's degree. It's not like I can't become PM with this master's degree, you don't need it, 200% you don't need it. Okay, that's the most important takeaway for everybody don't waste money. And of course, anybody who wants to speed up your job hunting process, become PM and upscale yourself, become a better PM, go to darkness.com and learn more. Okay, send you and attend my upcoming masterclass and learn how to create a product portfolio. Okay, cool. Where is my, yeah, those are free resources. Come here, you can start learning for free.
