I help product managers create resumes that showcase their true business impact.
Are you having problems getting interviews when you apply to jobs? It’s not you – it’s your resume.
I’ve reviewed hundreds of product manager resumes just in 2024 – and most are terrible!
I am here to help amazing people like you sound amazing in your resume.
Why? Your resume is your sales letter, and your goal with a sales letter is to get the reader – in this case, the hiring manager – to take action.
To bring you in for an interview!
If your resume is boring and doesn’t show how amazing you are – you won’t get the interview.
They can quickly see you are the person they are looking for, you've done useful and interesting things, and you have some differentiators.
Why should they consider hiring you over potentially dozens of other equally "qualified" candidates?
Your resume shows you understand the hiring manager's problem and how they are suffering - and how you solve their suffering.
Your impact is shown in your resume’s bullet points - tiny summaries of your biggest successes, the ones you will share in interviews.
I’m a long time enterprise software product manager, product management thought leader, author of The Secret Product Manager Handbook, and host of the Secrets of Product Management podcast.
I love working with product managers to strategize and accelerate their careers.
I’ll make your resume into a sales page for you (still in the format of a resume!)
It will instantly answer the hiring manager’s questions:
I work with you to craft a summary section to keep the hiring manager reading past the first 10 seconds.
It clearly shows your value proposition – and why you are potentially a better choice than other qualified candidates.
They start to get excited at this point so they keep reading.
Then, we need them to read at least one of your bullet points and get even more excited, because they’ll quickly see that you are amazing and have had a big impact.
I’ll work with you on extracting the stories of your most impressive accomplishments. Then work them into must-read bullet points (and show you how I do it).
Bonus: I’ll also train you how to tell those stories with the biggest impact in your job interviews.
Next, I’ll show you how to use quantitative data and qualitative data in your stories and your results.
I’ll give you my rules for job titles in your Experience section.
I’ll guide you on what to put in your Skills section.
And the result will be a resume that has a significantly better chance of ending up on the “Keep” pile.
More bonuses: You’ll get my template for “The Perfect Product Manager Resume.” And you’ll get my “Personal Success Story” template and cheatsheet. Each of those is a $50 value.

Some of the podcasts I’ve guested on recently.
I joined Chris Troka to talk about how product managers can align AI strategy, go-to-market efforts, and product management fundamentals to create massive value inside enterprise organizations.
On Jason Knight’s show, we broke down why typical PM resumes fail — and how storytelling and success narratives dramatically increase your odds of landing interviews.
I shared why most resumes sell tasks, not impact — and how you can reframe your career stories to differentiate yourself in a crowded market.
Bill Cushard and I explored why intrapreneurs — and product managers — must show how they think, make decisions, and drive outcomes in their resumes and career stories.
Most resumes fail because they’re boring, generic, and hard to read. Even great product managers often undersell themselves. Your resume isn’t just a form, it’s a sales letter. Its job is to get you in the door for an interview, and if it doesn’t show your impact clearly, it won’t do that.
