Presenters: Steve Wells & Paula Gray "We spend well over 30% of our lives at work with our colleagues. Work can be immensely satisfying but also tremendously challenging. There is a lot riding on the shoulders of product managers. They are ultimately responsible for the success of the product lifeblood of the company. NO PRESSURE! So how do you balance those responsibilities with the responsibility to your own career and success? And if you are a hiring manager, how do you ensure the product managers you hire will turn into assets for the company and reflect well on you? This session will explore the yin and yang of being the hired employee or the hiring manager. If you are hiring, you will want to know how to find the one Rockstar qualified, motivated product manager out of the sea of resumes. And if you want to be hired, how to be the shining Rockstar.
