 I see on your resume, you were engineer before, why do you want to become a product manager? Because I like the perfect combination between engineering and business. That's my perfect role. Hey guys, this is Dr. Nancy Lee. I teach engineers and international professionals transition from worker B to a business leader and product manager in the tech industry. Today let me teach you how to answer the specific questions why do you want to become a product manager. The reason I ask you this question is more towards why you want to make a career transition. How would you make the linkage between your prior experience into product management? I made a specific video about how to become a product manager with no prior experience. You can check out this video here. The first part of answering this question is that you can say this as product management is the perfect combination of business and technical. Because as a product manager, we need to work with engineers to build MVP to launch a product. In addition, we also need to get closer with sales and marketing teams come out with go-to-market strategy and all the product roadmap. And myself had been an engineer in the past five years. And right now I've also been in the leadership positions and working with our engineering teams and marketing teams come out with new strategy of launching product. So I am the perfect candidate being able to combine those two together. You see what I did? You talk about what product manager is. You also talk about your prior experience, how you sell yourself into exactly what they're looking for. See the secret behind it. So therefore let me write down the first part of the framework. I forgot to mention that I have a WeChat group and a Facebook group that bring all the product managers communities together who want to nail the product management interviews and do mock interviews and share creatives together. You can find those two groups under the link below and hopefully I'm going to see you in those communities. Now let's back to the training. The second part of the framework is that I will talk about the native of product management. For example, product manager is the CEO of the product. As a product manager, we are called the CEO of the product, which means we need to lead and work with cross-functional stakeholders continue to launch the product for the customers. And I have been the leadership position in the prior roles. I truly enjoy coming up with new ideas and work with cross-functional teams to execute it. I'm also a very entrepreneurial person. The product management's enabled me to be able to come up with the ideas that drive revenue for the company at the same time that I have the stakeholder management part of my responsibility. So this leadership opportunities from product management is definitely something I'm very interested in. So the third part you can talk about for the product managers is customer empathy. For the customer empathy part you can talk about as a product manager, we are very close to the customers. I have a deep empathy and the understanding of what customer wants and I really enjoy wearing the shoes of customers to understand how can we solve the problem for them. So being the product manager position enables me to get closer to customers and eventually launch a product that truly love. See what I just did? That on one hand you truly understand what product manager role is, on the other hand you show that you have empathy, you have passion to be a product manager. So each time we answer those kind of questions, always trying to do this, that show the understanding of what product manager is and try to sell yourself based on your prior experience, based on who you are. All right, so this is a three step framework to answer this question. Why do you want to become a product manager?
