Dec 2019 grad seeks advice and connections with Project Managers in business/technology fields

Posted on by

I am a senior graduating in December. My interests lie in the intersection of business and technology, like product management, technical consulting, business analytics, or a start-up jack-of-all-trades. Currently, I am looking for full-time product management jobs. I would like to connect with alum who are PMs, who know PMs very well, or who work with PMs, as engineers, designers, analysts, marketers, or customer support, etc.  I am also interested in your thoughts on the responsibilities, challenges, and metrics of PMs.

I also hope to get advice on the full-time PM job search, or learn of other roles that also lie in the intersection of business and technology. My PM applications usually cannot pass the resume screen, even with lots of transferable skills and relevant experience: software engineering, data analytics, startups, UI/UX, consulting, project management, cross-collaboration w/ engineers and designers, etc. I don’t know if it’s due to lacking referrals, PM internships, or well-polished experience descriptions. Therefore, I hope to get resume feedback, interview advice, networking tips, etc.

Any advice, insights, and opportunities are well appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

Archived Ad: Senior seeking health career innovation in Bay area

Posted on by

I am a graduating senior at Brandeis seeking opportunities in health care innovation. As an HSSP major with experience in health care startups, I am passionate about making an impact on the American population’s health. Last semester, I studied abroad on SIT’s Chile Public Health program where I gained knowledge behind-the-scenes of clinics and hospitals. I would love to work with people on the business side of health care, whether it’s creating and maintaining partnerships or bringing departments together within an organization. At the Hiatt Career Center, I am a peer career advisor and I enjoy building relationships with students to help them achieve career success. I want to do this on a larger scale for health care startups, institutions, or organizations. I’m interested in hearing about types of entry-level roles and places that might fit my interests and passions within health care or health tech. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
