Don't wait until you're job searching to capture accomplishments, work samples, and success metrics related to what you've been working on.

Getting into a habit of documenting your successes can not only help you prepare you for a future job search, it can ALSO be an early signal you're not growing in your PM career.

In this episode, I show you a better way to get alignment quickly so you can make better decisions, faster. The 'Safe to Try' approach is one of my go-to techniques for decision-making and has been an immediate level up for so many of the Product Managers I have coached over the years. 

LinkedIn will convince you that the job market for Product Managers is at an absolute standstill. Good news - that's not the full story. The current job market is tricky, yes, but there ARE techniques that are working for job searchers and I break them all down in this episode.

A little prep and a dash of initiative goes a long way. In this episode, I share a story about a candidate who didn’t just say they were excited about the role I was hiring for - they showed it. They managed to get a demo account of my company's hard-to-access enterprise SaaS app and come to the interview with actual insight and questions.

These five tips can be applied to every single interview you may encounter as a PM - the recruiter screen, the hiring manager interview, a panel interview, or even the case. I give this advice so often that I finally wanted to capture it in a podcast so you can apply it in your own job search. 

There's no "perfect" set of skills for a Product Manager. By definition, product management is a generalist role and the most important skills you need at any given time will vary based on your product, your team, and your tech stack. 

Instead of trying to become an expert in all product management skills and tools, I'll talk you through what I recommend instead.
