With the last 2 years being the way they have, I wanted to start this year with a positive intention. My hope for 2022 is to make this the year of opportunities and growth for everyone ❤️. I have always believed that it takes one genuine act to spark action in the community. This is why at PMDojo, we believe in doing whatever it takes to inspire even one person who might be one step behind us. When everyone does this, we can create momentum for opportunities for all.
So what has been cooking in PMDojo?
The mission behind PMDojo has always been to make our tech industry more inclusive, equitable, diverse and accessible for all. As daunting as this sounds, over the last 2 years, every small win at PMDojo has been enough to push us forward and we are hungry to do even more. Here are some of the amazing work our community at PMDojo has been doing lately:
PMDojo expands beyond Product Management:
Today, PMDojo is more than a community for Product Managers alone. 🥁🥁🥁 We are super excited to welcome Product Researchers (UX Researchers), Product Designers, Product Marketing Managers as well in our community. If you are looking to gain real-world experience, collaborate as a team, grow with mentorship and get lifelong access to a community to grow your career in tech, check out PMDojo. In 10 weeks you get to step into the role and explore a fuzzy problem and launch a live product in the market. PLUS, in our unique Industry Track, you get matched up with a real company to help launch their product, how cool is this…
PS: Our upcoming cohort is filling up and early applications close in just a few weeks.
PMDojo Hiring Mixers:
The idea behind these FREE community events is simple. These events are open for everyone ✨. As a candidate, it is challenging and frustrating to apply for jobs or cold emailing folks at companies and not hear back.
At the same time, as a company, it is hard to meet talented candidates with passion, potential and hunger to make an impact. This is especially true for talent in product roles from product management, product design, UX research, product ops and others. The solution is PMDojo's Hiring
Mixers, a 60 min fast-paced and inclusive event where we connect companies actively hiring and talent.
We have had some amazing successful interviews come out of these events we have hosted with companies such as HEB, HUBLY, Hootsuite, Commit and others so far, and more are coming. PS: Are you hiring for product roles? Simply contact us and let us know!
