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?
Read "the Google resume" by Gayle laakmann, it has all the info you're looking for
Thank you superbowl!
Glad I could help. :-)
Look up core PM skills, have a point for each describing your achievement.
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.
