to correct this matter is not simply to improve technology, which is sometimes harmful.
Recently, I interviewed some people, many of whom are product managers with several years' working experience. They have long been skilled workers and are unlikely to be stumped by the general demand, but there are still some surprising details on them, or the interviewer doesn't think this is a problem.
In the interview process, the true personality and thoughts are hidden to some extent, not to mention that there are so many complete books on the Internet, and the plot has already been completed, and everyone can win the trophy.
For example, you can feel that most people lose interest in the content of the product work itself, stop trying different things, and just submit a staple goods without losing it.
Details often stem from the sense of crisis in work, and behind it is a set of thinking methods.
the following is what I can't stand as an interviewer.
-I haven't studied each other's business, let alone have my own thoughts.
-official website of the wrong party.
-express that there are problems in the product design of the other party, but can't describe the specific problems clearly.
I don't know telephone communication when I am expected to be late; I didn't apologize for being late.
-use QQ mailbox, email sender and signature to add Martian text.
-delete the original text of the sender when replying to the email.
-the format of the email is confusing and the content is scrawled, and it will not be confirmed whether the other party has received the email.
The interview is a two-way choice. It's not just that I'm picking you up. The essence is that you and I are both exploring and expressing "Why you".
If you and I express our wrong feelings in this interactive process, it will waste time cost and opportunity cost, and we will be irresponsible for ourselves, and it will be individuals, not enterprises, who will lose more.
Many people like to say that they love product jobs, but they only express that I love you, but they ignore what I have prepared and paid for my love, and the basic knowledge reserve and ability accumulation are not reflected in the interview process. Such love may be an illusion.
Many people express their sensitivity and concern for products, and there are many comments on other people's heads. This is habitual criticism, but there is no critical spirit.
The success rate of products is less than 1%. It is easy to criticize and difficult to practice. Most product managers are engaged in boring and boring work all the year round, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains. It is a very valuable ability to have a positive energy that can resist fear and the unknown, and to know what you lack.
please be honest with yourself, no matter what position you are applying for in any enterprise.
and all kinds of low-level mistakes like "careless" and "I forgot" are very similar to the excuses of many old employees-sacrificing their careers for their families. I'm not incompetent. I have to. It's not that I don't want to sprint. I just gave up my job for my family. No, no, no! Let's all be serious. Without such and such factors, will your career develop well? Not necessarily, not everyone has the courage to admit defeat, so I might as well comfort myself with various excuses, because external conditions such as accidents and family are limited, so I didn't play my best. Please believe that being serious is another ability.
it is easiest to change the expression; Improve communication methods, a little slower; But changing the mode of thinking is difficult and slow.
This is almost a bottleneck that many experienced product managers find it difficult to improve. It's not that the prototype is not detailed enough, the requirements are not complicated enough, and PPT can't be done well, but that the way of understanding oneself and the world is solidified and extreme (prejudice is not terrible, everyone knows the world through prejudice, and what they are afraid of is extreme).
Come on, product managers!
