Are Top Product Management Roles Now Harder to Land Than Ever?

Even experienced PMs are getting ghosted by companies that would have fought over them a few years ago. But there's an insider advantage most candidates are missing...

Does any of this sound familiar?

Uncertainty:

"Am I positioning my experience the right way?"

Frustration:

"I know I can do the job, but I can't seem to get past the interviews"

Overwhelm:

"Every company's process is different - how do I prepare for everything?"

Self-Doubt:

"The market is so competitive - how do I prove I'm the best candidate?"

The 2024 Product Management Reality Check

You're Not Alone in This Challenge

In today's turbulent tech landscape, even exceptional Product Managers and Leaders are facing unprecedented hurdles:

  • Watching talented colleagues face unexpected layoffs
  • Feeling stuck in roles that no longer fuel your passion

  • Wondering if your experience translates to what companies want now

Your Approach Should Too.

The traditional job search playbook isn't working anymore. With tech companies restructuring and hiring processes becoming increasingly complex, yesterday's strategies won't secure tomorrow's opportunities.

From Product Leader to Your Personal Career Accelerator

Hi, I'm Laurie Cordova, and I've sat on both sides of the Product Management hiring table for over two decades. What I've discovered might surprise you: most qualified PM candidates fail interviews not because of their capabilities, but because of how they present themselves.

Why I Created This Course

After evaluating thousands of candidates as a Product executive and recruiter, I spotted a pattern. Brilliant Product Managers were getting overlooked because they couldn't effectively communicate their value. That's when I knew I had to bridge this gap.

  • Coaching candidates through actual PM job searches 
  • Placing talent in their dream Product roles

Why This Matters For You

My most in-demand coaching package has been job search preparation, and for good reason. In today's competitive market, how you position yourself is just as important as your experience.

This course distills everything I've learned about what makes candidates stand out, built from:

  • Actual evaluation criteria I use as a recruiter

Hi Laurie! Just writing to say I got an offer …. for an IC senior PM position.
