What actually changes

Nick Christman had been sending out applications for three months after a layoff. Smart guy, strong background, senior product manager. Zero interviews — not a few. Zero.

We worked together on his resume and LinkedIn profile. Sixteen days after we finished, he had a job offer.

That's not a fluke. That's what happens when your resume stops describing what you did and starts showing what changed because of you.

"Your resume is not a record of your employment history. It's a sales document for the most important thing you'll ever sell — which is you."

— Nils Davis

Most product managers' resumes look like a list of responsibilities. Managed roadmap. Led cross-functional teams. Worked with stakeholders. None of it is false — it's just not persuasive. Hiring managers aren't buying responsibilities. They're trying to reduce risk and solve business problems. When your resume focuses on what you did instead of what changed because of you, you sound like everyone else. In a pile of 500 resumes, that's deadly.

See the difference

Here's a real bullet from Nick's resume — before and after.

Before

"Partnered with Product, Operations, and Compliance teams to deliver GDPR-aligned platform capabilities and support ISO 27001 certified platform readiness."

After

"In 2018 the GDPR regulatory cliff was approaching — it would reshape how data could be collected, stored, and used, threatening European revenue and client trust. I mapped all data touchpoints, built and executed a comprehensive GDPR roadmap, and delivered compliance across the product. I hit the date, reassured clients, strengthened our market position, and created a reusable compliance playbook."

The original says what happened. The rewrite shows why anyone should care. Same work — completely different impression. That's the difference between sounding respectable and changing how a hiring manager sees you.

And this isn't embellishment. It's making the truth legible. Your best achievements are already there. Your resume is just whispering about them in corporate language that strips out the very context that makes the work impressive.

What's included

Seven one-on-one, hour-long sessions with me. Not staff (I don't have staff). Me. This takes two to three weeks — it's up to you and my calendar.

1–2
Story extraction + resume rewriteWe go deep into your actual work to surface your strongest material — signature achievements, real differentiators, business impact. Then rebuild your resume around it.
3
Differentiator + positioningFind the pattern across your best wins — the thing that actually makes you a more compelling choice than other qualified candidates. Lock it into your summary.
4
LinkedIn alignmentYour positioning made consistent across every surface where hiring managers find you.
5–6
Interview coachingTake those same stories and make sure you can tell them live, under pressure. The three stories every candidate needs. How to stop drifting into the weeds. How to handle questions you didn't prep for.
7
Cleared for TakeoffBring everything together. Review the full picture. Make sure you're ready — not just for this search, but for how you tell your story going forward.

Investment

$2,500

One-time. No subscription. No upsells.

I take 6 clients a month in this program. That's my real capacity. If a spot is open and you know your resume is underselling you — don't wait.

The guarantee

If after the first session you don't feel clear that this process is helping — that we're surfacing the right stories and moving in the right direction — I'll refund you in full.

And if you fully engage with the process and your interview traction still doesn't improve, I'll continue working with you for up to six months until it does.

This should become obvious early. You should be able to see that the old version was underselling you. If that's not happening, I don't want to keep your money.

About Nils

I've been a product manager for 25-plus years — enterprise software, B2B. I wrote The Secret Product Manager Handbook and have published 160 episodes of the Secrets of Product Management podcast.

For the last several years I've been coaching product managers on their resumes, their LinkedIn profiles, and their interviews. I have a reputation for finding the story in someone's career they've been systematically underselling — not because they're modest, but because every resume template ever created trains people to describe tasks, not outcomes.

This is one-on-one work. I don't have staff. I take a small number of clients at a time because the work is deep and hands-on. If you're a strong product manager whose value isn't landing — that's the problem I solve.

Ready to stop being invisible?

If your resume already gets the traction you want, you don't need this. If it doesn't — fix it now. The market is hard enough without your own resume working against you.
