Sometimes, even high achievers get stuck in a rut. Sometimes, you can end up in a position that doesn’t let you take advantage of your full potential. Maybe you’re being challenged, but you’re not being fulfilled. Or maybe you aren’t being valued the way that you know you deserve to be.
It may sound counterintuitive, but a career change may be just what you need to get where you want to be in life. The team over at Product Gym is helping high achievers like you reach their full potential through its program.
Making a Career Change with Product Gym
In the last article, we touched on the main tenets of the Product Gym membership and what makes it so special beyond its over 98 percent job placement rate. But as we also noted, the program isn’t for everyone, and it doesn’t pretend to be.
In order to join this exclusive organization, you’re going to need a certain fortitude and frame of mind that pushes you towards success in everything you do. This program will challenge you more than anything you’ve ever done, but it will also open countless doors for your future.
What Is Product Gym?
Product Gym is a selective members-only organization with an unparalleled product management job-training program. Over the course of 45 to 60 days, members learn how to manage stakeholders across multiple disciplines from tech to business. They also learn how to become irresistible candidates for new jobs, with members regularly generating three to five job offers as they work through the program.
This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s a professional organization that you join for life, which always offers you reliable support. Members learn more than the skills they need to become successful product managers, they also learn how to generate offers by mastering the interview.
Product Gym Jump Starts Your Career in Product Management
Product Gym members often come from fields outside of product management including banking, business, and more. The organization gives people who may not be interested in coding a chance to take advantage of the opportunities in the booming tech field.
There are also plenty of members who come from backgrounds outside of business and finance. Wedding planners, advertisers, mental health professionals, and even working product managers that want an extra boost all make up the Product Gym community. The will to commit to the program connects Product Gym members regardless of background.
As we mentioned above, this is going to be one of the most challenging experiences of your life, but you won’t be going through it alone.
The Product Gym Community
Product Gym’s program is designed for high achievers. These are people who took charge of their group projects in college and made sure that everyone did their jobs. These are people who have a natural instinct for turning ideas into tangible results that please everyone. If this sounds like you, you can apply to join the Product Gym community, where you’ll be working with like-minded people as part of a group.
Product Gym Student Success
This community will motivate you and show that the desired result from the program is achievable. With rolling admissions, you’ll see people from your group take lucrative jobs throughout your time in the program. You won’t just have to trust the marketing as you get started in the program. You’ll see the results happening in front of your eyes in real-time.
Every week you’re seeing success and that positive reinforcement will boost your will to succeed more than any hollow figures or marketing ever could.
The Product Gym Experience
Product Gym’s testimonials often mention the community aspect as a big boost for members’ success. In addition to the motivation and encouragement the community provides, people also form lifelong friendships by banding together to conquer this difficult process.
Product Gym has compiled many of their testimonials into a video where students explain how the organization changed their lives. Students like Lawrence Tai.
Lawrence joined Product Gym while already working as a product manager. After going through the membership process, he got a job offer from Nike. But once he settled into his position, he was unhappy with his work situation and decided to leave. But thanks to his work with Product Gym, Nike reached out again with an even better offer because they couldn’t afford to lose him.
“This wouldn’t have been possible if it hadn’t been for Product Gym and everything in place,” Lawrence said. “[Thank you to] Product Gym and the community that carried me along the way.”
Product Gym and its community gave Lawrence the confidence to walk away from a position that didn’t fulfill his needs. And that’s what sets this organization apart, not just the process, but the people.
You’ll meet friends for life at Product Gym. Friends you travel with, grab drinks and dinner with, and more, who are just as motivated as you.
Product Gym’s Requirements
Though anyone can apply to join, this program isn’t for everybody.
New Product Gym members need three main traits. They need a background that brings transferable skills to the program. They must be coachable. And they must have an urgent need for Product Gym’s services.
Transferable Skills
Though Product Gym welcomes a wide range of people to enter the fold, they must first possess easily transferable work experience before entering the program. So if you want to learn product management skills to work as a gardener, you might not be a good fit.
Coachable and Committed to the Program
Product Gym will, however, grant exceptions in very rare cases for people without the usual background that the program looks for. These exceptions are only granted for applicants that are extremely coachable who recognize the risk they incur by coming into the program. If you’re coming from a field that may not benefit from Product Management skills, acquiring those skills may still not land you a job.
All Product Gym members must be ready, willing, and able to commit to the program. The program’s coachable applicants recognize that there’s still more to learn. Members are self-starters who think for themselves, but they’ve accepted that they need help and recognize that Product Gym is a great outlet to give them that assistance.
A Need for a Career Change
That need for assistance underscores the last main pillar of Product Gym’s requirements. Members must have an urgent need for the program’s services. These are people that have felt the sting from dozens of ignored applications that are looking to change their fortunes fast through hard work.
This rigorous program gives members a chance to rise out of a discouraging cycle—a cycle of rejected applications and dead-end interviews. If you have these three traits, a desire for success, and a willingness to make friends and network, you’ll be a strong candidate for Product Gym.
Get Ready to Experience Product Gym
Coachable people with the right professional background and a sense of urgency thrive in the Product Gym curriculum. Even though this program isn’t easy or simple by any means, the results speak for themselves. You’ll be joining a broad network of successful people in a community that lasts a lifetime.
The willingness to help people who find themselves stuck is inherent in every Product Gym member. After you’ve reached your peak, you’ll have the honor of holding out a helping hand to the next wave of members. That’s the Product Gym way: building lifelong bonds in a community committed to helping each other succeed.
