What exactly does a product manager do? Is it just translating between users and engineers, or talking strategy all day? Why does your resume get ignored even though you have great experience? In this 45-minute live event, Zen Li (PhD, MBA, ex-Amazon/AWS PM, career coach) will break down common myths about product management and help you understand what companies really look for. We’ll then dig into what makes a PM resume effective—not a job history log, but a focused case for why you are the best candidate. Whether you’re switching careers, aiming for your first PM role, or simply confused about how to make your resume “fit,” this is for you.
