PM interview: the product sense, from your Résumé to the report

What a mock looks like in the room, step by step. The panel, its order, the form and the criteria are the real round's; the words and numbers are illustrative.

1
You fill in your Résumé once

The interviewer has your résumé open. Expect questions on anything you listed — every project and every tool — and a level pitched to the role you name.

The product leader asks

In the order the real one moves: the case, then structure, then analysis, then numbers, then recommendation. Follow-ups come from what you just said.

3
You work it through on the whiteboard

Structure the problem, do the maths out loud and land a recommendation; the interviewer reads the board as you go.

The report says what to fix

Scored on the 5 criteria this round is assessed on, with every line of your Résumé marked as held up, shaky or not yet asked. A practice estimate, never a forecast.
