How long does it actually take to land a PM offer right now? What interview conversion rates are realistic? And where are offers really coming from? 

In this episode, I’m sharing real 2025 job search data from inside the SPRINT program, including: time to offer, salary offers, and whether referrals actually led to jobs (hint: not as often as you probably think!). If you’re a data-driven PM, this one's for you.

If you’re updating your resume for every single job and still not getting interviews, this episode is for you.

I talk about why more tweaks, different keywords, and endless customization using resume-scoring tools usually doesn't help - it just leads to frustration and burnout. And, of course, I share what to do instead to get more, and better, interviews. 

Spoiler alert: you need to craft a clear, compelling story that makes you the obvious choice for the job. Unclear positioning is the #1 reason I see for PM job searches that are stalling out.

Hear me when I say: you absolutely, positively DO NOT need another PM course or certification to get hired.

In this episode, I break down why certifications feel productive during a job search, but often act as expensive and time-consuming procrastination. I explain what hiring managers actually care about, why experience beats credentials every single time, and how focusing on the wrong gap can waste so much time.

I also walk through how to reframe your experience, even if you haven't had a formal PM title, so you can position yourself as the obvious choice for the right roles. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll start applying once I get this one certification” this is your gentle (but direct) wake-up call.

Most PM job searches take longer than they should. Not because of the "bad" market, or because you're unqualified... but because you're not clearly articulating your value.

In this episode, I share the top way you can set yourself up to shorten your PM job search by getting clear early: on your positioning, your unique value, and the story you’re telling recruiters and hiring managers. 

I also share a real client story about a PM who landed an offer in just 29 days after starting to apply with their SPRINT resume - a direct result of tightening their job search strategy and positioning. 

If you're thinking about kicking off a job search, set yourself up for success right from the start. Your future self will thank you!

If you want a new product job but you’re already busy with a full-time role, this episode is for you. The idea of starting a job search can feel, well, overwhelming. Having a simple, structured plan can turn a chaotic, stop-and-start job search into consistent momentum that *actually* gets you an offer. 

Plus, you'll get to hear about Brendan: a SPRINT alum who was employed full-time during his job search, and landed a whopping 22% salary increase in just under 2 months from his first application to offer acceptance. The program not only secured him a new job, but it got him on a path to specializing in Growth PM roles.

TL;DR: Clarity, focus, and realistic weekly milestones can help you make real progress in your job search even when your energy is tapped.

In this episode I compare the Never Search Alone process, including job search councils, to the SPRINT Product Management Job Search Program so you can make an informed decision on which one is right for you. 

(Hint: SPRINT is probably a better fit if you're looking for your first, or next, PM role.)

Key takeaways:

• SPRINT is designed specifically for the unique aspects of a Product Management job search. Job search councils are career agnostic.
• SPRINT is led by me, Jess Sherlock, an experienced Product Leader, Co-founder, and Product Coach with 10+ years of experience in the field. Job search councils are volunteer-led, often inconsistent, and may or may not include folks with product experience/expertise.
• SPRINT is proven to help PMs get faster and easier traction in their job search through proven templates, techniques and training that has worked for 125 PMs and counting. Job search councils do not include training and preparation for Product-specific interviews such as case interviews, product sense questions, and take home assignments.
