Unfortunately, I have been looking for a job for the past two months. You're right, it took two months (embarrassed face). Fortunately, in the past two months, I have experienced interviews, written examinations and re-examinations of 40 or 50 companies, and at the same time, my psychology is constantly circulating in joy, expectation, loss, reflection and self-comfort, and I feel a lot. Of course, all this is in the hope that they and the enterprise can have a balance and get what they need.

Looking back on the past two months, I cherish this time. Although I lost some material things, my experience and experience are valuable. I want to share them with you, hoping to help your career and life.

Then I can write wherever I want.

1, on resignation

In the whole career, different living environment, career development stage and other reasons will lead to different reasons for leaving. Some of these reasons are objective, such as uncontrollable factors such as geography and transportation, and some are subjective or even impulsive. What I want to say is that since you choose to leave your job, you must answer the following practical questions: Is your disappointment with your current company (the reason for leaving your job) your expectation for the next company? Judging from your current stage of career development, is this disappointment the root cause of your desire to leave your job? At your present level, are you confident to get this expectation in the market competition? In a word, resignation brings progress, not parallelism or retrogression.

Answering the above three questions can avoid some impulsive results, such as comparing the treatment of friends, which leads to psychological imbalance and wanting to leave, such as having conflicts with colleagues and not liking leaders, which leads to psychological injustice and wanting to leave.

You have to understand that there is no company suitable for you on this earth, and new companies will have new problems. It's just that at a certain stage in your life, what you care most about is having a more suitable company to meet your needs and let you work for a few more years.

Go back to the position of product manager and talk about the market demand of product post.

I clearly remember that when I was looking for a product job three years ago, I only had three months' experience as a product assistant, which was nothing at all. At that time, I got the offer within a week, so I always thought that the product manager was easy to find a job. Of course, it may be that he has little experience and has no conditions to choose. But at that time, the market demand model for product managers was mostly functional, that is, product design and landing.

As you may know, in fact, the rapid change of the Internet has a great influence on the position of product manager. The product manager plays a leading role in the team, and an unreliable product manager can kill a product. In today's war-torn market structure, capital investment is more cautious, and innovation and speed have become the driving factors for enterprises to find a way out. Today, with the serious homogenization of products, a product manager with unique innovative thinking and overall situation will become a long-term beacon for enterprises.

At the stage of product manager's ability development, you can measure your current ability level by comparison. Product managers aged 0-3 pay attention to the design and landing of functions, prefer functional product managers and pay more attention to the landing quality of functions. 3-5-year-old product managers pay attention to abstract user needs and analysis and mining of user needs, and pay more attention to what users want. Product managers aged 5- 10 pay more attention to market strategy than senior/senior product managers. In the final analysis, this is what I want.

By the way, don't naked resignation unless there is a special reason. Naked resignation's life is very anxious and full of negative energy.

2. About resumes

There should be many cases on the Internet about how to write a product manager's resume. Considering the work scene of HR, it is very important to attract HR's attention quickly. There are several reminders.

(1) The content of the resume is concise, especially when describing the project experience. You can't write like this: obtain the user's requirements through user research, write the requirements document, etc. This description is not experience, but a requirement for the ability of product managers. A clear description includes the following contents: team structure, your responsibilities, what functions you have done, what needs you have met, and what data you have embodied.

Students with work experience should pay attention to the sorting of resume content columns, such as work experience in the front, self-introduction and evaluation information can be written in the back. In addition, in terms of writing style, you should highlight the industry fields you have done before, and enterprises pay more attention to the field experience of product managers.

Don't cheat, exaggerate appropriately.

Resume should be in PDF format, email address should be Gmail, 163 or personal domain email address, QQ email address should be amateur, and resume should be 1-2 pages in order to highlight the core points, attract HR's attention and get interview opportunities. Others can be elaborated in the interview.

(2) Competent job seekers can try to regard themselves as a product, and write an analysis report as a resume from the perspectives of market demand and product positioning, which can greatly enhance the interview opportunities.

(3) Job seekers with blogs or excellent works should post their addresses, which is proof of their ability;

(4) If you fill in resumes on several websites at the same time, don't forget to update all resumes when you modify them, otherwise there will be differences.

3. About Resume Delivery

(1) You can give priority to the recruitment network and know your market value through the headhunters of the recruitment network. There is an early reference, which is free anyway;

(2) Try to deliver the company you want to go to in the later stage, and preheat it through some company interviews in the early stage to prevent obvious mistakes;

(3)HR has the habit of reading resumes a few days before a week. It is recommended to submit resumes on weekends, which can improve the viewing rate;

(4) Enterprises will relax their requirements if they can't find a suitable job seeker for a long time, so if you haven't passed the preliminary screening of a company's resume before, you can choose to resubmit it after a period of time, or resubmit the position on another job search website, provided that you haven't interviewed;

(5) Some famous enterprises recruit the position of product manager and deliberately write the position name as senior/senior product manager, probably to deliberately filter out job seekers who are not confident in their abilities, so you don't have to give up delivery because of the position level or years, as long as you are interested in this company or product, you can try it;

(6) Don't deliver too many companies in a row because you are too anxious, otherwise you may be insufficiently prepared because of repeated interviews, and continuous interviews will also damage your energy;

4. About interview preparation

(1) You can learn about the company's information (website, industry, founder) and recent financing through websites such as IT Orange, Tianyancha and Wozhacha.

(2) Experience the company's products and try to think of some suggestions. If it's an APP, you can go to the app store to see the evaluation, or you can search the company's product reports on well-known Internet media websites such as 36Kr and Tiger Sniff to learn about the product and industry trends, which may become your interview materials;

(3) If you write a blog or an official WeChat account, you can find out the comments;

5. About the interview question

(1) Introduce yourself.

In fact, most interviewers ask you to introduce yourself for the following reasons: 1. Through your self-introduction, the interviewer will find a topic to talk about; 2. Examine your language organization and expressive ability; When you are introducing yourself, he is reading his resume to avoid the silence at first.

(2) The reason why you left your job.

The following reasons will not be mentioned: the company's system, environment and other issues, product issues, treatment issues. We can say some objective reasons, such as our special love for another industry, the company's financing failure performance is getting worse and worse, and we can also say that we want to further enhance our capabilities through a better platform.

(3) Let you describe the products you have made.

Mainly understand what functions your product has, what users you are facing, what advantages you have, and your idea of designing this product.

(4) product manager methodology

I will ask some typical questions, such as requirements analysis and mining methods, such as what to do if there is a contradiction with the programmer when advancing the progress, such as how to deal with the boss's needs.

(5) Where is your ability advantage? For example.

Prove your advantages through an outstanding performance before, such as communication and coordination ability, data analysis ability and so on.

(6) Tell me about some products you like.

This requires you to understand and accumulate at ordinary times.

(7) Let you talk about your understanding of the company's industry and product suggestions.

(8) Ask about your salary expectation.

You can check the salary of all the positions posted by this company on the recruitment website first, and you can also refer to them from the following dimensions: the development stage of the company, whether you really want to enter this company, your own ability evaluation, the geographical location of the company (such as the high rent in the core business district and subway station, the company's cash flow may be better), the company's area and number of employees, other benefits, and working hours.

Finally, I want to tell you my own thoughts:

1. We must actively think and solve problems in our daily work. The job of product manager is very complicated and involves many abilities. The more we try, the better. Even if we fail, it is still valuable.

2. Usually you have to feel and think with many popular or emerging industry products, which is a key way for you to understand other industries;

3. Work summary is essential, and the work of product manager is fragmented. Cultivating the habit of summarizing is conducive to cultivating your product thinking mode and methodology;

4, cross-industry job hunting is not terrible, the key lies in your product thinking and understanding of the industry, which needs to be accumulated at ordinary times;

5. It is difficult to see anything about the product manager's ability only through the interview, so your past product performance and understanding of the industry are very important;

Also, life needs a little luck, you just need to do what you should do.
