He landed an offer with a 60% raise (and we never worked together)
He used these 3 newsletters to land his dream job
š Hey, itās Jean!
Iāve decided to be more active on Instagram (and even posted my first reel about remote jobs). Follow my IG journey here!
PS I also shared my journey of leaving my dream tech job at Figma to become a solopreneur. Weāre five months into 2024, and Iāve already hit my goals (check out the post here).
I was floored when I found out one of my students landed his dream PM job before ever working with me. Check out his story.
So I had to ask, āWhat resources helped you?ā
And hereās what he said.
I used many of your program resources, especially your newsletters. The top 3 articles that significantly helped me by changing the way I structure and answer my interview questions were:
I followed your path, especially number 8, by creating business cases on projects I led in the past (even when I did not hold the title of project manager), summarizing them, adding measurable impact, and then using them to answer interview questions.
I sent thank-you notes in <24 hours and hand-written notes during the last round of interviews.
Last but not least, I took your advice to look internally and reflect through my stories to explain my Why. This gave me a lot more clarity in my answers and motivation during the process. The positive energy definitely helped.
I applied for the job, looked up the hiring managers, and then sent them a tailored message about my background, interests, and passion.
This helped me land the interview almost instantly.
I used your advice in this article to rewrite my resume with the correct action words, progress, and impact.
āHonestly, I read all of your newsletters, and each one added value, but those three are at the top.ā
Leo found success by following my steps to a tee. As a result, he landed his dream PM job with a 60% raise, enough to change his parentsā lives.
PS I happily refunded him 100% and just FILLED my last slot.
