Resume & Positioning (Stage 1)
Baseline Resume
- What do I do when I feel like my resume doesn't represent my actual level or experience?
- Should I use multiple AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude) to optimize my resume?
- We're shooting for perfection on resumes before applying — is that the right approach?
- What should I do if I have old bullets or resume versions that might be relevant?
- How do we decide if my resume needs to be changed based on application results?
Target Company List
Generalist vs. Specialist
- I'm a staff PM trying to move into director. I don't have people management experience. What do I do?
- I have strong experience but it's all in one industry I want to leave. How do I position myself for a different space?
- How should I think about which type of role to target — IC vs. management, or current industry vs. new industry?
Branding
- My LinkedIn headline includes very niche things from my resume. Is that good?
- How do I decide what title to use on LinkedIn — Senior PM, Staff PM, or Product Leader?
- What title or positioning should I use if my level is between principal PM and director?
- I'm currently interviewing at a company. Should I focus on that or on resume/LinkedIn setup?
LinkedIn Optimization
- How long does LinkedIn optimization take?
- I'm getting more profile views on LinkedIn but recruiters aren't reaching out. What does that mean?
- Should I post my side projects or proof of work on LinkedIn?
- How will we know if my LinkedIn title/positioning needs to change?
- What are the three most important things to complete on LinkedIn first?
- How should I update my LinkedIn employment dates after a layoff?
