Hey everyone, currently a new grad trying to making it into the product space via APM programs. I don't have the traditional tech background, but I am doing my best to bridge the gap by learning how to code as much as I can. Already adjusted my resume a bunch from feedback, but the more the merrier!
I previously had a full time offer at Microsoft for their ACE program in Seattle, which was supposed to start this month. However, due to a misunderstanding where Microsoft thought I was supposed to graduate 3 months earlier from school, they had to rescind my offer since I can't get my Visa in time 😢 Now that I have graduated, I'm ready to get back into job seeking and I thought this would be the chance ( or mabye a sign) to pursue my dream of working in product management which I put off since I was discouraged because of my lack of a technical background! I figured out through hackathons late in my senior year that I really wanted to do PM and talked to many PM's about it + I have done over 50 Mock interviews just to prep and read a bunch of PM books. Now I just need to make it past resume screening ( haven't gotten any PM interviews so far). Hope this will also give me some great insight into that. All feedback is welcome !
As a side note: I Would love to get some general advice/tips/guidance for breaking into PM if anyone is willing to chat !

Why does your degree have specialist at the end of it?
92% doesn’t seem very accurate?
Way too much stuff everywhere. Use more white space. Expand to 2 pages if you need to but try to focus into a story.
What type of job are you looking for?
It looks like you are trying to add leadership skills, are you thinking you will get a management role?
A publication is not an award or certification. Where is is being published? Is it submitted?
You’re taking up too much space with stuff like “media channels” and “Graduated”.
1/2 your skills are domains the other half are skills.
Why are your work experiences so short?
Objective is one thing, a sentence saying who you are is another.
