At that point, although I had successfully impressed the interviewers with my background and passion for education to secure the job, I still had relatively little idea what it really meant to be a Product Manager.  \nWorried that I wouldn’t be able to excel in my role, I decided to spend the few months until my internship connecting with, interviewing, and learning from some of the best Product Managers in the field.  \nFortunately, I was able to get in touch with some of the most brilliant, thoughtful and helpful individuals working in Product Management. Hailing from companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft, these Product Managers not only agreed to share their insights with me, but they also generously gave permission for their thoughts to be included in this handbook to be distributed publicly with the entire world.  \nWhat you have in front of you are the distilled and polished gems of wisdom that were unearthed during the course of all these conversations.  \nThis handbook provides invaluable insight for anyone interested in working as a Product Manager or who simply wants to learn about what it takes to build an excellent product. In reading the conversations contained here, you will find career advice, product advice and even life advice.  \nMy dream is that the insights contained within this handbook will serve as inspiration for people everywhere to create amazing products that improve the world.  \nEnjoy.  \nCarl Shan  \nCONTENTS  \nHOW TO GET A JOB AS A PM 4  \nINTERVIEWS 8  \nJEREMY CARR 8  \nCLEARSLIDE  \nJASON SHAH 13  \nYAMMER  \nLUKE SEGARS 17  \nGOOGLE  \nLILY HE 21  \nWORK MARKET  \nSUNIL SAHA 25  \nPERKVILLE  \nSEAN GABRIEL 29  \nMICROSOFT  \nDAVID SHEIN 34  \nFACEBOOK  \nPAUL ROSANIA 37  \nTWITTER  \nLAYLA AMJADI 45  \nFACEBOOK  \nAVICHAL GARG 52  \nFACEBOOK  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS 58  \nABOUT CARL & BRITTANY 59  \nHOW TO GET A JOB AS A PRODUCT MANAGER  \nGayle Laakmann McDowell and Jackie Bavaro  \nPeople go to medical school to become a doctor and law school to become a lawyer, but what do they do to become a product manager? Business school is one option, but there are many others. Product management jobs are within reach of new graduates.  \nHow do you get into Product Management straight out of college?  \nBig tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are always hiring new grad product managers1. Write up your résumé and head to your school’s career fair to chat with the recruiters.  \nIf these companies aren’t recruiting at your school, you’ll need to network. Find friends who can connect you with a recruiter, or try to connect with employees from the company using Twitter, Quora, LinkedIn, or their blogs. Many employees are happy to refer people who have shown a genuine interest in the company and have a strong resume.  \nSome startups will also hire fresh college graduates into Product Manager roles, but this is more unusual. Typically, to land such a role, you’ll have to really stand out as a PM candidate and get your foot in through your personal / professional network.  \n1 Note: The name of this role might differ from company to company. Microsoft hires many new grads for Program Manager roles, which is the equivalent of other companies’ product manager roles. Microsoft also has a Product Manager role, but this is more of a marketing function and is usually not entry level. Google has an entry-level role called a Associate Product Manager anda more senior role called a Product Manager.  \nHOW TO GET A JOB AS A PM  How do you get a Product Management internship?  \nProduct Manager internships are obtained the same way that full-time PM ","cbCaiqWbZTWSJ57t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqWbZTWSJ57t","pdf",345240,"English","# Introduction\n# How to Get a Job as a PM\n## Interviews\n## Jeremy Carr\n## Jason Shah\n## Luke Segars\n## Lily He\n## Work Market\n## Perkville\n## Sean Gabriel\n## Microsoft\n## David Shein\n## Facebook\n## Paul Rosania\n## Twitter\n## Layla Amjadi\n## Avichal Garg\n## Acknowledgments\n## About Carl & Brittany","[{\"question\":\"How can you gain relevant experience if you can’t find a PM internship?\",\"answer\":\"Pursue a software development internship to strengthen technical skills and demonstrate leadership, and build side projects to practice both technical and analytical, PM-like responsibilities.\"}]","PMHQ-Product-Manager-Handbook | PDF",1790069654,151]
