From the confusion and anxiety of not graduating to the discouragement of being rejected many times in interviews, he finally broke it0 product experience, 0 AI experienceThe hellish start of job hunting for AI product positions is finalI got an offer as an AI product manager！
Today, I invited Xiao Yang, a student of “Product Manager Private Training Companion Practical Camp”! Share him fromSteady growth experience of being rejected for N interviews – learning – AI project training – getting an offer.If you are also thinking about applying for a job as a product manager, his experience may give you some inspiration!
1. Major in sinkhole construction 0 product experience Job search has been rejected for many interviews and has no direction
My name is Xiao Yang, a second-year graduate student majoring in architecture, and I have started looking for an internship haha.
Analyze only from personal interests and current popularity. Because I have a great curiosity about new things on weekdays, and I also like to study various software, I decided to pursue a career as a product manager after graduation.
I hope that in the fall of this year, I can find an AI product manager job, after all, this is a general trend in the future, and it is basically right to follow it.
Moreover, the monthly salary of AI product managers of 30-50K is really eye-catching. But after looking at JD carefully, I found that I didn’t have any advantages, 0 product experience, and a little AI cognition (which I usually accumulated from various AI bloggers on Bilibili) to enter the industry, so I basically had no chance to enter the industry.
But I still tried, but the recruitment software was broken and there was no interview invitation. Occasionally, due to my academic advantages, I make an appointment for 1-2 interviews, and I basically can’t talk for 20 minutes, and I have to go home and wait for notice.
The interviewer’s reasons for refusal are also very consistent: lack of actual product implementation experience and lack of experience in AI projects.
However, none of them have started working yet, moreoverNo project experience that can be obtained.
If you have no experience, you will not have an offer, and if you have no offer, you will not be able to gain experience, how can you get out of this vicious circle?
Occasionally, I look at my classmates’ circle of friends and see that the salary of undergraduate students has doubled, and my friends in the same period have also changed directions early and got internship offers……
It was only then that I realized that the phrase “your peers are abandoning you” is not alarmist.
Although I have no regrets about choosing to go to graduate school, in the face of cruel reality and bad luck:I still had doubts about myself and confusion about the future.
2. Change the battlefield: I start preparing again
Repositioning yourself is the key to breaking the job search dilemma
Late-night emo doesn’t help me find a job, and the key question to be solved is: How to meet the standards of a qualified AI product manager?
So I drew for another month to read books and videos to complete my AI technical knowledge, optimized my resume and then went to the interview, but there were still not many interviews, and I was still rejected. is still trapped in an inexperienced interview dilemma.
Many times the interviewer asked me about the details, let meThe product analysis logic is not clear, and the shortcomings of the business logic are all exposed. You don’t need to ask about the details, it’s just a simple way to do demand mining for AI products? How to use AI to improve the efficiency of xx business processes? I can’t answer any other basic questions.
Although everyone is a product manager website, and some product groups from the starting point classroom have been added, I can’t grasp the key and useful information at all.
Can I continue to work in the autumn recruitment?
In order to quickly improve the core skills of AI product managers, I found a starting point classroom consultant for a free consultation. Only then did I realize that I had stepped on an unknown number of pits.The most basic AI product manager has the key competency not in the technology but in the product. After understanding the product and the business, there is a follow-up plan for product + AI.
(More than 100 AI product manager JD dismantled capability inspections)
Knowing that the direction is wrong, you can only adjust immediately. The consultant made one for me1v1 career planning and study planning, and sign up for study“Product Manager Personal Training Companion Practical Camp”You can simultaneously carry out “nanny-level” job search counseling, and the learning content is also very detailed.
Realizing that the transformation of AI cannot be achieved by self-study, I signed up for a product private lesson with peace of mind, or follow an experienced teacher to improve, and set a flag that I must find a product job in the autumn recruitment
Once you have a goal, just work hard.While in class, change your resume according to the teacher’s suggestion and continue to look at some opportunities.
Listen to the explanations and Q&A of the teachers of the big factory, and write a project plan under the guidance of the teacher.Although I was tired, I was very fulfilled and did learn something.
(AI project homework was named and praised by the teacher)
“Product Manager Personal Training Companion Practical Camp”Multi-field project practice, which gave me a certain understanding of the daily workflow, reporting, and project follow-up of large factories, and it was also realMany products have been produced, such as competitor analysis reports, demand analysis reports, PRD documents, etc.

(The experience of the private lesson project is directly written in the resume)
More importantly, I put theseThe actual project is made into a portfolio and put in my resumeIt also helped me “knock open” the door of the product manager. 3 interviews a week,Finally, I got an AI product offer.
In fact, my story is not particularly successful, but I still want to share it with friends who are in the same anxiety about choosing a career and changing jobs as me——
