I’ve been unemployed since early February, pounding the digital pavement looking for a new opportunity. In my downtime between searching and applying I’ve gotten into the habit of completing about 4-5 hours of LinkedIn Learning courses to post the certifications to my LI page and generate views/traffic. I’m focused primarily on Product, Agile, AI (general), and Copilot (specific) courses. I’ve also started listing completed courses in the “Education & Certifications” section of my resume. My thinking is the topics and titles are clearly relevant right now, putting them on draws attention that otherwise wouldn’t get noticed unless recruiters visit my LI page which won’t happen, and they convey that I’m focused on continuing education and growth. Is this content helpful to include in my resume or are they not really considered that valuable or beneficial?

Hello. I had an interview In February for a Product Manager position overseeing a group of products that are outside of my area of expertise. I also had just recently started interviewing for positions so I was rusty and basically blew the interview. I don’t think it was catastrophic but rather that I came off inexperienced and underprepared.

Fast forward a couple of months and I’ve been in several interviews and have really figured out my details and am interviewing much more confidently. The same organization is now hiring for several digital product manager positions which are very closely aligned with my experience and expertise. I’m unsure where this position is in the same department as the previous one.

I emailed the recruiter I was worked with in February but haven’t heard anything. Is there anything else I can do to try to get in contact with a recruiter and perhaps get a new interview? Thanks for any help!
