Common mistakes

  • Describing what the team built instead of the decisions and prioritization the candidate personally drove
  • Missing quantified business impact - revenue, retention, activation, NPS
  • No mention of how trade-offs were made under competing stakeholder priorities
  • Overloading the resume with technical jargon instead of outcomes a hiring manager can compare across candidates
  • Failing to specify the scale of the product (users, revenue, team size) which anchors the impact
