PM Resume Templates That Work in 2024

Your resume template doesn’t need to be overly fancy. Instead, the key is the quality of your bullet points.

This is my recommended resume template:

Why This Works

There are several reasons you don’t want to have an overly designed resume template:

  1. People only spend 6 seconds on your resume: You want that to be content, not design
  2. You are applying for a PM, not a design role: PMs are too busy to focus on design, for the most part, and instead focus on content
  3. Your own focus on revisions should be content: If you get into designing your resume, you start to focus on a secondary part of it

How To Use It

Here’s instead what you should focus on with your resume:

  1. Customizing it for each job: Simply using the same resume everywhere is a path to the rejection pile
  2. Including the ATS terms: You should cover every bullet in the job description with bullet points in your own resume to get past AI screeners
  3. Adding statistics, your role in driving them, and their relative scale: PMs live and die by the impact of their features, make yours clear
