Why Most Product Managers Struggle to Land Interviews
Traditional PM courses focus heavily on theory but neglect execution, leaving you without tangible proof of your skills. You end up competing against hundreds of applicants with identical generic resumes.
No Portfolio, No Proof
Without tangible case studies and real-world deliverables, hiring managers have no concrete evidence of your product management capabilities.
Theory Without Execution
Understanding PM concepts isn't enough. Companies want clear proof that you can execute effectively and deliver measurable business outcomes.
Missing Career Strategy
Most PM training programs lack structured mentorship, networking opportunities, and strategic positioning guidance for high-impact roles.
