First, from the job requirements to find these positions with different abilities, your ability requirements are different. Even as a product manager, different positions have different requirements. The essential reason why you can't make the next decision is that you don't have enough information. You need to supplement the product-related job information while determining and adjusting the target position. Then, you extract key competencies from the JD of the target position. You can see that a job JD is generally divided into two categories: one is the ability of general characteristics, such as logical thinking, learning ability, communication and cooperation ability. The other is professional ability, such as data analysis, middle desk, demand analysis, document writing, etc.
Second, according to the refined ability points, to make up for and prepare to extract these ability points depends on your skill tree, which ones you already have, which ones you don't have, which ones are universal and which ones are professional. Generally speaking, professional ability is easier to make up. I suggest that you give priority to study and make up for your professional ability. You can find some books or take related courses to learn quickly. Comprehensive general ability needs time to grow slowly.
Third, the output results prove their ability. It is not enough to improve one's ability. You also need to output works that can prove your ability, so that you can at least pass the resume screening when looking for a job. You can participate in some projects based on real business needs, even virtual projects, as long as you can fully show your thinking process and design process. You can also sort out your own experience after reading, make products into content and publish them on various platforms. If you already have a target company, you can output a product experience report and an analysis of the products and business of the target company. A good output can improve your success rate in job hunting. Lack of work experience is a thing of the past, and we can only find ways to make up and solve it in the future. Even if you do some virtual projects, you can use these experiences to prove your ability. Next, let's talk about the products of Zhiqun that I am making. This matter itself is also related to "the experience of product managers". Teachers in colleges and universities often ask students to come and listen to our training camp courses. Some students say how did he know about the league? Because he went to a company for an interview, the interviewer saw that he had great potential and suggested that he go to Zhiqun to attend classes.
A classmate came back the other day to share. He joined Ali and won the newcomer award. And another classmate, a veteran, is an undergraduate, and now Xiaomi is an intern. There are too many stories about such classmates. In fact, word of mouth is only one aspect, and the most important thing is our products that meet key demand scenarios. What is the difference? Only four words: project-driven. Sounds simple. If you want everyone to learn how to work effectively in an enterprise, shouldn't you take everyone to do the project? When doing projects, with experienced teachers around, you can effectively master various tools (tools), technologies (methods) and ways (thinking), just like reliable old employees in the company bring new employees, which will grow rapidly. Taking everyone to do the project is a scene that is just needed. But why is such a simple model not adopted in most places? Because it's hard to really do it. Constructing teaching research and teaching system, optimizing teaching as a product, defining various KPI (key indicators) and optimizing learning journey are all particularly in-depth and meticulous work. Nowadays, many enterprises engaged in vocational education are thinking about how to realize cash quickly and how to do a good job in marketing, and few can really pay attention to teaching quality from beginning to end. Either the scale is too small, there is no way to support higher operating costs, and there is no strength to obtain more resources, resulting in insufficient support for students.
