If you’re updating your resume for every single job and still not getting interviews, this episode is for you.

I talk about why more tweaks, different keywords, and endless customization using resume-scoring tools usually doesn't help - it just leads to frustration and burnout. And, of course, I share what to do instead to get more, and better, interviews.

Spoiler alert: you need to craft a clear, compelling story that makes you the obvious choice for the job. Unclear positioning is the #1 reason I see for PM job searches that are stalling out.

Hear me when I say: you absolutely, positively DO NOT need another PM course or certification to get hired.

In this episode, I break down why certifications feel productive during a job search, but often act as expensive and time-consuming procrastination. I explain what hiring managers actually care about, why experience beats credentials every single time, and how focusing on the wrong gap can waste so much time.

I also walk through how to reframe your experience, even if you haven't had a formal PM title, so you can position yourself as the obvious choice for the right roles. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll start applying once I get this one certification” this is your gentle (but direct) wake-up call.

Most PM job searches take longer than they should. Not because of the "bad" market, or because you're unqualified... but because you're not clearly articulating your value.

In this episode, I share the top way you can set yourself up to shorten your PM job search by getting clear early: on your positioning, your unique value, and the story you’re telling recruiters and hiring managers.

I also share a real client story about a PM who landed an offer in just 29 days after starting to apply with their SPRINT resume - a direct result of tightening their job search strategy and positioning.

If you're thinking about kicking off a job search, set yourself up for success right from the start. Your future self will thank you!

If you want a new product job but you’re already busy with a full-time role, this episode is for you. The idea of starting a job search can feel, well, overwhelming. Having a simple, structured plan can turn a chaotic, stop-and-start job search into consistent momentum that *actually* gets you an offer.

Plus, you'll get to hear about Brendan: a SPRINT alum who was employed full-time during his job search, and landed a whopping 22% salary increase in just under 2 months from his first application to offer acceptance. The program not only secured him a new job, but it got him on a path to specializing in Growth PM roles.

TL;DR: Clarity, focus, and realistic weekly milestones can help you make real progress in your job search even when your energy is tapped.
