BowTiedWhiteBelt – What to expect from an anon cartoon in the realm of Product
White Belt advertises their service as a Resume Review and consult call. In reality, as an early client of their service, they were able to over-deliver at every turn, providing moment to moment insights like a fighter coach in the boxing ring, slugging my way to a Manager role in Product shattering the 10% comp limit with a 20% raise.
Even before our session, White Belt provided pages upon pages of insights and recommendations for how to reframe my resume and experience in addition to resources I could dive into on my own. The outline of our call was four pages long! In reviewing where I was vs where I wanted to go, White Belt was able to assess the feasibility of my goals and what it would take to get there.
On my Resume, we discussed what experience should I underscore and what I should fade based on what Product Managers would care about. Some changes were as simple as changing words that better aligned with industry jargon, others were to include projects I never thought to even be relevant!
To strengthen my interviewing, he recommended projects and accomplishments that I should reframe as answers to various Product-related interview questions. I should have few surprises in interviews going forward, as I now had a collection of projects to highlight various Product skills / abilities in response to most frequent questions. And looking back, we discussed past interviews I had, the results, and identified patterns to improve upon.
But wait, I haven’t even mentioned how White Belt not only found posted jobs they thought would be a fit, they provided step by step recommendations to navigate A) My interview B) Title negotiation C) Comp negotiation, highlighting what would matter most, how much leverage I had, what the hiring manager would concede on, and when to push for more comp. It was like having a coach in the ring at each step, which combined with my own sources at the firm, landed me a Product Manager promotion and a 20% comp increase, working from home two additional days per week! All at a company with an HR policy of ‘10% limit for comp increases’!
I would have paid four figures for this. Flat out, full stop. White Belt can increase your Recurring Income by thousands for the rest of your life, with optionality of Remote work. At the rate they’re charging, even if they only improved your odds by 10%, you’d be a clown not take advantage.
