I’m customizing my resume for the job posting, adding keywords, but I just can’t seem to get my resume picked up for phone screen. What’s the secret?
I’ve even had referrals to G and Twilio and no luck.
The resume is results oriented, and shows great results given I’ve been at hyper growth companies.
The first 5 years of my career were in agencies, but the last 5 were 2 successful b2b startups, but they’re not house hold names. I’ve even gotten huge promotions out my my experience level at my current spot, but I’m applying for roles at my experience level.

TC: $250

    Happy to help anyone on your resume just DM me.

    On the PM side a few pointers

    1. Don’t just tell me what you did. Tell me what you accomplished.

    2. share quantitative metrics ex increased rev by this x% and retention by y%

    3. Formatting to make sure you showcase leadership, product development, etc at each of your roles

  • Im doing OK. Most tech recruiters are fighting over the same pool of people then pout there is no one out there.

  • FWIW, I have F100 brands on mine and am also not getting a high hit rate on applications.

    I do get a lot of inbound hits on LinkedIn, mostly junk but also recruiters for Amazon and Meta (which I won't work for).

    Not sure what to make of this PM job market. Super hot by some indicators but not by others.

      OP
      Yeah same. Meta came in my inbox but that’s not my speed. Other late stage startups are buying, but I really wanted to make the switch to a house hold name
