BECOME A PRODUCT MANAGER WITH NO EXPERIENCE: How to ACE your Interview and Land your PM Role!

Would you say that Project/Product Management Certificates, like from google, hold any weight when applying to jobs? Specifically, would it be beneficial for someone with a technical/coding background to get one of these certificates if they want to be a PM?

GOod one. Thanks for sharing. I was expecting gneric info but there was something different information

Wow this is so helpful

Thank you Amara, I’m a systems engineer seeking to transition to product management. Your insights are very useful and I spotted somethings that I need to work on. Thank you!

Hi, I am a current computer science major in 3rd year and this video was super useful to know what to prepare for! I would love to be a PM at Microsoft in the long run! Do you have any suggestions on what experience to do that helps you stand out for PM internships or jobs? And how to tailor your resume to get call backs?

Also do you accept connections on LinkedIn? Would love to add you to my network! Thank you again!

I’m looking to start applying for PM positions this video is very helpful. ❤

Wow! This is super helpful and here I was smiling although. You are a good teacher and I'm sure you will make a good mentor.

This was so insightful

I just bought the 2 recommended books....thank you!!!

conductor analogy really spot on

Thanks for sharing all this tips, I am in the process of transitioning, I would like to intern with you

As a PM intern in a telemedicine startup, this is such a helpful video. Thank you so much.

Woo!

Did you just try to sell a Microsoft product while explaining about PM? I see what you did here. :)

This was so helpful!

Hi Amara, thanks for tour video. Am new to Scrum. I have the PSM 1 and now looking to get unto Safe. I have some good knowledge with Safe but dont know if i should go for safe Scrum master or safe product owner. Would love to hear from you. Thanks

Hi, Amarachi this is amazing,you just gained an organic follower🥰well my question is can i get a PM job without a degree? I have been taking course on Pm for months now but I'm not settled with this side.

thanks!

Product Manager != Project Manager != Program Manager

Do you get a pay cut or pay rise after becoming a PM mid career?

🙏🏾PERFECT delivery with your communication in these videos! I used that same analogy on my resume😂(Before I saw this, I didn't copy, I swear!)
Did you really get this position without any "experience"?? I'm applying for marketing manager after being self-employed for 10+ years, but I just might go after this position too and see what lands! Thank YOUUU!!!

Please more PM videos, I'm starting a PM class and will start creating a portfolio to switch from my Customer Support role to PM. I need all the motivation I can get!

Dang girl I never heard the job of a PM explained so well! Conductor of an orchestra, I will use that!

Great video ! Thank you for these nice tips and infos !

Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information 🙂

Thank you for all the tips. I currently work for a tech company as a CX specialist but I am hungry for more and this gave me some actionable steps. Thank you

I'm going for a project manager job so I'm thankful for this!

Thanks a lot Amara. This is so helpful and insightful

Yep! SUPER HELPFUL! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! ☺️

Thank you so much!!! I’m old guy reinventing myself. This helps. THANKS!!!!!

Great video. My first interview is this morning. Wish me luck. Your tips were very useful!

3 words only: I love you

Ayy girl lemme say wassup if you in the pnw

This was amazing and so helpful. Thank you!

Is the product manager the same as a product owner, its a bit confusing for me.

I’m in data now and I feel like product management may be a better fit for me because of my ability to orchestrate and communicate clear instruction/ need to action. However the dynamic between the PM and engineering team is still a blur to me. Are you managing PEOPLE? That’s what I really need to know. Are meetings typically ran by the PM or the collaborators? Are PM’s doing more listening than speaking? These details I find very important while considering switching roles…Great video!

Hii, I love your video. I was wondering how you landed a interview with Microsoft? Are there any internship opportunities to people new to the field?

More pm content from you pleeeease❤

you are so pretty i love your hair!

hey can you make video how a person with non tech background get into pm role

As someone with a deep music background, I LOVED your analogy 🙌🏾

I would love to learn more!

Thanks Amara for creating this video.

I am wondering If I can get your thoughts on this - I recently discovered product management but my impression so far is that I can be paid well (sweet sweet tech salary), don't need to code, don't need any special certifications/MBA/MS Computer Science (or any specific degrees for that matter) or specific experiences.

Seems too good to be true. Wondering if I am missing something?

this was so good. thank you lol the linked in part I couldn't agree more
