A Great Product Manager will always consider changing any setback into an opportunity! In fact, perhaps there aren't any real losses - just different ways to win! Here are some of my life's examples: I got my first IT internship when I was fired from an English Teacher position (as an abroad student), which led me to find a different job. I got my first real job when the company that promised me an internship bailed out and I was forced into job search mode. I coded from scratch an internal, amateur as hell, internal CRM there when I didn't have the tools to find clients' data quickly. It was still used there 4 years ago when I left. When I got my master's, I had a choice: A local industry job (and give back scholarship money they paid me), keep on with the job I had since the last paragraph, or start a Ph.D. track. I decided to take 2 out of 3, paid back the scholarship, and told myself 6 months later I would choose 1 of them and leave the other. 7 years later I became a doctor while working remotely full time! I started to look for a better job when someone else got the promotion I thought I deserved. That got me to OLX. I got the idea for my Great Product Manager course while sitting at home with a broken arm. Being unhappy in Poland, me and my wife started to look for a job abroad. Don't let the setbacks stop you. You can change every failure into a learning and an eventual win! #productionmanagement #opportunites #inspiration P.S. Looking for success as a Product Manager? I'm here to help!

Day 6 of #20daylinkedinchallengewithdestiny I received my first paycheck as a PM when I started working as an intern. I met my boss in quite the oddest circumstance and safe to say, I got the job! It was really refreshing as I was being paid for interning and also being trained as well. My company paid for the courses I took and I made up my mind to do my best. I guess I’m doing something right. Especially seeing as after I interned for 6 months, I got retained as a staff. I have been working for a year plus now. I am hoping and waiting for the day I become so badass in product management, especially in the fintech industry and I can start having consulting gigs too. Moral lesson: Money can be a motivator. You can really like what you’re doing and on some days you’d be so tired to even open up your laptop. In this instance, money as an incentive comes in. I was working and earning well and this, I made sure my output was very good too! (My supply of funds cannot be cut short please). What is your source of motivation, and why is it so?

🚀 The "Airbnb" approach to talent acquisition? A globalized, innovative approach is key to making wins in your industry. Take a company like Airbnb that shook the table in the tourism and hospitality industry. Back in 2007, who knew that the idea of staying at a stranger's home over traditional hotels and timeshares would become so widely accepted? So, how does this apply to the #growth and continuity of any company? Well, just like Airbnb redefined the travel experience by widening access to their service across borders, companies can apply this same idea to #talentacquisition and scaling. If it has been challenging for your company to find suitable talent for your needs, it might be time to trade traditional #hiring practices for a modernized, global approach by doing the following: ✅ Tap into the global talent pool: Hiring remotely on a worldwide scale opens businesses up to an abundance of talent options. ✅ Cultivate Relationships: Foster mentorship and professional growth, creating lasting connections with interns. ✅ Adopt an Innovative Outlook: Showcase your forward-thinking mindset by embracing new technologies and strategies. ✅ Be strategically prepared and available: a) Don't wait until you need talent to start looking. Start optimizing hiring platforms like Virtual Internships to be ready for future hires. b) Make sure you're continuously establishing a brand presence.

There are far too few product manager internships and junior product positions today. 😢 Most recruiters are looking for experienced folks. If you are an aspiring product manager or seeking an entry-level position, here's a hack - build a product to show competence. How to do this? ✍ 1. Find a problem area. Please keep it simple. 2. Determine your target customer. The target customer should be easily accessible. 3. To build the product, use a no-code tool such as Flutterflow https://flutterflow.io/ and Bubble https://bubble.io/. You don't need any coding experience. 4. Test the product with your target customers. 5. Apply your A/B experimentation and testing knowledge. 6. Iterate the product based on customer feedback. 7. Work with software engineers, product designers, marketing professionals, etc., where possible, to understand what that working relationship would look like. 8. Optional: Build a product in the industry/problem space you are most interested in and use modern technology. When applying for jobs, your experience in the industry and modern technology is typically a bonus. By building a product, you show competence and the ability to turn an idea into an impactful solution - this is what recruiters look for. P.S.: This activity could take weeks, so while you apply for jobs, set aside time daily or weekly to work on this. You'll be miles ahead of entry-level PMs in a few months. ___ Hello there, I'm Obianuju. I write about becoming a Product Manager and how junior PMs (0-2 years of experience) can thrive.

You applied to the degree so you could move But they want local experience... Try these (but not #3) 1. Local internships 🌏 -> It’s nice to have your goal city at the top of your “work experience” section -> They can be challenging to get though, so I recommend looking for companies where you aren’t competing against thousands of others 2. Start a company 💼 -> Grab a few friends in your program and start something that interests you. It doesn’t (and probably shouldn’t) be the next Google. Just start something where you offer a service and find one client -> Give yourself the position you want to work in full time after graduating, rather than CEO or Founder. It’s easier to understand if you were a Product Manager at a startup and are now applying for the same role 3. Go to LinkedIn and complain loudly 📢 -> It doesn’t get you anywhere -> BUT it feels great and is technically doing something Whatever you do, just make sure to blame recruiters and AI for not getting your resume through! #international #mastersdegree #jobapplication

Sharing my recent interview experience for a Product Management Intern role at a Fintech startup headquartered in Singapore! The interview process was incredibly enriching, comprising three rounds that put my skills and creativity in problem-solving to the test. During the initial round, I had the chance to deep dive into my projects, skills, and align them with the company's vision. The second round presented fascinating challenges, including redesigning the onboarding experience for the Headspace application and enhancing the Facebook mobile application's homepage. These tasks pushed me to think innovatively and connect user problems with impactful business solutions. Following the submission of my assignments, I progressed to the third round, where I further explored my thought process and justified the rationale behind my solutions. Additionally, the interviewer shared invaluable insights into the practical aspects of product management, stressing the significance of aiming to be a great PM rather than just a good one. This experience marked my inaugural into product management interviews, offering me a wealth of learnings. I'm eager to apply these insights and continue refining my skills in this dynamic field! I've also included a link to my assignment solutions and would greatly appreciate any feedback, especially from my connections who work in the product space.
