Nailing interviews but keep getting tripped up when explaining my consulting work. Heard resume workshops help repackage client work as product strategy - anyone have framework examples that actually worked? Specifically how to present deliverables like market analyses or process optimizations as product thinking?
When I transitioned, I took my favorite consulting deck and physically crossed out ‘client’ to write ‘user’ in red pen. Sounds dumb, but it worked! Framed a retail optimization project as discovering user pain points through data - got multiple offers. Just gotta make it concrete, not abstract.
pro tip: interviewers smell consultant-speak from miles away. that ‘market analysis’? call it ‘discovery phase for MVP scoping.’ your ‘stakeholder presentations’ become ‘roadmap socialization.’ bonus points if you mention eating lunch with engineers instead of clients. worked for me, somehow.
You’ve got this! Focus on transferable skills - your ability to break down complex problems is pure gold for PM roles. Just add some product jargon
