Stand out in growth/product with your CV

Stop describing your role. I know what a PM does.

Stop describing your role in your CV in product/growth. I expect you to know how to manage a backlog. I expect you to know how to do research.

This is what I look for when looking at CVs from product/design/growth roles:

What you should tell me is in ascending order of preference:

Distribution

How many people did I affect with my work?

This tells me whether someone else gave you already the trust for a sizeable responsibility. Even just mentioning how many interviews you did is better than saying "I did user interviews."
Quantify your experience.
Can be internal or external.

Impact on Distribution:

What was the impact on the people I affected with my work?

This is not always possible and you should be careful to not disclose confidential numbers. (When in doubt ask)

But your work always had a specific impact which lets me infer whether you know about a specific topic. For instance, just mentioning that you "helped 3 sales teams with their leads by surfacing data" lets me infer a ton of things:

• She knows how to handle quantitative data

• She worked with salespeople, knowing what they want/need

• She worked with multiple salespeople, probably good with multi-team stakeholder management

• The product she worked on must have been in B2B (due to sales present)

In general, cut the fluff, focus on your impact and be honest. Describe what a PM does that goes beyond their basics.

I appreciate an honest assessment any day over a generic description of what a product manager does. I know what they do. What I wonder is whether you are a good fit for MY role.
