PM resume

I am a PM at Microsoft with 2 years experience interested in moving to Google. Any advice on how to make an effective resume? I have heard a lot of people say that your resume should be achievement based and not task base. How can I highlight my skills in that case?

As a product manager, isn’t it part of your job to highlight “achievements/skills”? You should be an expert at it. ;-) You could have a separate section for skills.

Good point! I am sure there are also other PMs who are better at highlighting achievements/skills. It doesn't hurt getting advice :) Thank you for your advice on having a separate section on skills. Previously I used to have skills under each job rather than achievements.

Read "the Google resume" by Gayle laakmann, it has all the info you're looking for

Look up core PM skills, have a point for each describing your achievement.
