Here's a copy of my resume when I was accepted to the Google Associate Product Management (APM) program. This resume should be used as a sample resume when creating your own resume.
Here are some aspects worth highlighting on your resume:
- Software/Product Experience. Do you have experience shipping and building products?
- Data Analysis. Do you know SQL? Do you know how data informs product decisions?
- User Studies. Have you collected data for qualitative or quantitative research ? Do you know how to use this feedback to inform decisions?
- Market Research. Do you have a solid understanding of industries related to technology? Do you know how to conduct market research?
- Design. How does your design experience relate to product launches?
- …Many more. This isn’t a complete list. Customize your list of skills based on your background, and based on the type of product management role you’re applying for.
