What hiring managers actually look for in PM resumes. I've screened over 1,000 PM resumes in my career. 95% get rejected in under seconds.. But it's not for the reasons you think. A VP of Product said this, "I don't read resumes for experience. I scan them for evidence of product thinking." 5 Resume Mistakes That Guarantee Rejection: 5️. "Managed product roadmap and worked with cross-functional teams." Every PM says this. Show me what problems you solved, not what processes you followed. 4. List features shipped instead of outcomes achieved. "Launched mobile app" vs "Increased user engagement 40% through mobile app that reduced task completion time by 50%." 3️. "Worked with AI/ML, blockchain, microservices..." without context. Hiring managers want to know if you understand user problems, not if you know trending tech terms. 2️.  "Responsible for user research and analytics." I don't care what you were responsible for. I care what you discovered and how it changed the product. 1️. Everything sounds like internal company jargon. "Optimised conversion funnel" means nothing. "Identified checkout bottleneck that increased revenue by ₹2 crores" tells a story. The 10-Second Resume Test: Can a hiring manager understand your biggest product win within 10 seconds? If not, you're getting rejected. Most PMs write resumes like project managers. Winners write resumes like entrepreneurs. Don't describe what you did. Describe what changed because you did it. Your resume isn't a job history. It's evidence that you can solve the hiring manager's biggest product problems. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲.
