Even if lots of you guys knowing that a recession may come and lots of big tech companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple already announced that they are going to freeze hiring or slow hiring. Some of them announced firing people as well. However, there are still opportunities if you know how to capture the right timing to lend your DreamTM job offer. And even last month, our students already received offers from Meta, Tesla and these big tech companies even if they already announced slow hiring or freeze hiring. The secret behind that is that you need to identify the cash cow business and capture the right timing lending your DreamTM job offer. In this video, I'm going to capture the top three most important customer segmentations and different timings you need to pay close attention to so that you are able to lend your DreamTM job offer. We're going to specifically talk about the fresh graduate and MBA categories and also meet career and finally be executive. First of all, if you are a fresh graduate or MBA student, the most important timing for you is to understand the recruiting season for big tech companies such as fan companies and Google Meta, Amazon, Apple. All of those will start hiring fresh graduate or current MBA students starting from August and majority of the offers will be given out around September and October. For example, this is the offers our students received last year who received Microsoft fresh graduate entry-level PM offer at the end of September and that person is only an undergrad. We also have people who were MBA student who received the offer from Amazon as senior product manager. His offer was given in the first week of October last year. So therefore, I want you guys to understand if you're a fresh graduate at this moment, you really need to apply for big tech companies. For example, Meta's RPM program already opened the application as we're filming this video. So starting from August, lots of big tech companies will accept entry-level PM positions such as APM positions right now. So therefore, if you are a fresh graduate, I want you to immediately get your resume ready and apply for these big tech companies out there. You can directly go to this website and download the Peter PM resume template which has been used by over 7,000 product managers out there. I don't want you to miss the most important primary recruiting season. If you're not interested in these kind of big tech companies, you can still apply for startups. But startups' recruiting season also starts around this time, but they're more flexible because startups, they're hiring people all year round and it's mainly based on the business needs and also the funding rounds. But in general, if you're a fresh graduate or MBA, pay close attention to the upcoming three months, August, September, and October. Around September and October, lots of companies will start to give out offers. For example, last year, by the end of September, we have student receiving offers from Microsoft. So get ready for your upcoming interviews. Now, let's talk about mid-career for people who transition into product management with a few years' work experience. For example, you might be a consultant with five years' experience. You might be a software engineer with two years' experience. You also may be a data scientist with five years' experience. And all of you guys, you can transition into product management for sure, but when you apply for these big tech companies, if you already have years of work experience, you are not going to be qualified for those 8 p.m. positions. You will be qualified for product manager positions or even senior p.m. positions if you know how to repackage your prior experience. In the past video right here, I talked about using the product portfolio to highlight your past experience and identify the trend for skills to become a product manager. You study the product portfolio strategy immediately so that you'll be qualified for even senior p.m. position. The senior p.m. hire and the timing will be between August, September, October and November as well. So it's not as urgent as someone who is currently fresh out of school, but majority of the companies, they're experienced hire. The offers will also be given all the way until Thanksgiving. And some offers might be given in December, but I want you guys to focus on landing your dream p.m. job offer before Thanksgiving. Primary offer season assails around September and October. If you do not see any offers or good leads by the beginning of November, I'll be worried. My dad is in my video the whole time, but it's okay. The third categories are executives. If you are principal p.m., director product or someone who wants to upgrade to VP of product, those kind of positions, your timing varies significantly from everyone else because your timing really depends on the structured growth of the company and also when do they prove the budget. You might be hired to lead a major organization of the company. If you are product executive is very critical, you understand that majority of the direct level positions are not post online and majorities of senior level positions are getting recruited directly through the recruiting agency or student protein methodology. And the timing of landing executive offers, it really depends on the needs of different companies. For example, you might be hired to directly lead a new organization. You'll also be the replacement of another director of a big tech company. So in this situation, the timing is based on the needs and the budget of the company. For example, last year, we have people landing principal or director p.m. positions in like April in June. And some of those openings were also available all the way until December as well. So if you're senior executives, I want you to immediately look up different kind of networking resources to start landing your next executive offer as well. By now, you probably want to ask me Nancy, is it too late and looks like lots of people already get ready for the upcoming recruiting season. What about me? And the best answer is that it's not definitely not too late and wishes to be honest, the best time for you to study how to land your dream p.m. job offer is two months before you start your dream company interview. Of course, the second best time to get started is today. So therefore I invite you to join my upcoming free masterclass where I teach you how to land your dream p.m. job offer in 60 days and thrive in it even if you don't have confidence prior p.m. experience or a tech degree.
