Product Academy | Build Products with AI

Searching for a job by yourself is boring, and it sucks.
We can do it together! Join Product Academy’s free weekly job search group, hosted by Dave Wang. This is session 1 of our four follow-up sessions after the kickoff.
What we’ll work on
• Choose the product roles to target. Use your experience, goals, and constraints to define the roles and companies that fit you.
• Make your experience stand out. Turn your strongest product work into a clear story about the value you bring.
• Build a job search plan for the next week. Choose a few useful actions, get peer feedback, and leave with a plan you can follow.

Melbourne: Saturday, October 24, 6–7 a.m. AEDT
