Many project management job seekers spend hours revising their resumes, tailoring them for each application, and recreating them from scratch—only to get ghosted by employers. After weeks of little to no response, you start wondering "Am I the problem?" The answer is no, you're not the problem. The real issue is that good education about how to create a genuinely effective PM resume is hard to find. Most advice is generic and doesn't address what makes project management roles unique.
This masterclass will change how you write your PM resume. You'll turn it from a document that gets ignored into one that gets you interviews. You'll learn what recruiters really want to see, how to write powerful bullet points that show your real value, and how to customize your resume for any job in just 5-15 minutes. Whether you're an experienced PM or switching into project management, this session will help your resume work better for you.
Takeaways:
- Learn what recruiters actually want: Know the specific things that make hiring managers notice your PM resume
- Turn your resume into a marketing tool: Show your experience as solutions to company problems, not just job duties
- Write powerful bullet points: Find and share the impacts and results you never thought to include
- Quick tailoring that works: Customize your resume for any PM job in 5-15 minutes without rewriting everything

Students will learn how to set up their projects and boards in a way that provides clear data for accurate planning and reporting, ensuring they can maximize the value they get from the tool from day one.
The second half of the course will move into practical application and advanced topics, demonstrating how to use Jira plans to solve common project management challenges. We will explore techniques for managing cross-team planning and visualizing dependencies to identify and mitigate risks before they impact the project schedule.
