Get actual interview feedback through a free PM Mock Interviewer I built

I created sharpn.ai, a free PM mock interviewer that gives simulated interviews so you can practice and get instant feedback about how to improve.

I'm a Senior PM who has been in the industry for nearly a decade. Whenever I prep, I never really have someone to do mock interviews with, and I always wonder whether my interview answers were actually good and how I could improve them.

This tool is how I got way better at interviews. One of my colleagues even landed a job at Microsoft using exclusively Sharpn as her prep.

It covers every PM interview topic: product sense, metrics, strategy, behavioral, execution, technical, and estimations. Its feedback and scoring is based on real industry standards (pulled from research and my own experience giving interviews).

  1. Select a topic you want to practice
  2. Optionally drop in a job description (if you want it specific)
  3. Get through the interview, and you'll get a full feedback result and score.
  4. You can even request for a tailored study article that breaks down in-depth how to approach the question and how to improve on your weaknesses.

Real PM in Big Tech, here's my top 5 tips to prep for interviews

Hey Everyone, it’s that time of year for recruiting for PM roles. I always feel like breaking into PM is gatekept, so I'm breaking down what has helped me in my career. Here's exactly 5 resources I wish someone told me about when preparing for PM interviews.

  1. apmlist.com: if you’re trying to break into the industry and looking for your first PM role, here’s a list of companies offering early-in-career PM jobs
  2. Decode & Conquer by Lewis C. Lin, and Cracking the PM Interview by McDowell: great books that break down approaching PM interview questions
  3. Youtube: search for ‘Product Manager Mock Interviews’ to see real PM mocks being done by experts. Channels like Diana Yau and RocketBlocks are awesome.
  4. Lenny’s Podcast: one of the best Product Manager podcasts out there. Great for industry trends and PM fundamentals
  5. Practice, practice, practice: so important to do real practice mock interviews. Don’t have someone who can do that? There's lot of great tools out there, some stand outs are sharpn.ai to do simulated interviews with feedback and going on TryExponent and finding some peers to practice with.

Another way to practice is to write down example questions (like the ones you see on Youtube) and pull a random one and record yourself talking and watch yourself back.

Feel free to ask questions, happy to help where I can!
