More Prompts to help you Prepare for your next Product Management Interview with ChatGPT
Bonus Use Cases:
While at this point in time we all know how powerful Open AI’s ChatGPT is, let’s see if it
can help you save some time as a product manager and give you more room for
strategic work.
In this post, I’ll share 10 ways in which Product Managers can use Open AI’s
ChatGPT to level up their game.
With that out of the way, let’s start! How can Product Managers use ChatGPT?
💡Prompt 2: What could be the total addressable market for the app idea I referred to
earlier? Segment the market in sub-categories and include Go To Market pointers as
well.
It also gave me a glimpse into how I can use social media, influencer marketing,
partnerships, and more to launch this product.
This would definitely save a lot of time and cover some blind spots in our approach.
💡Prompt 3: Use the information I am giving below and tell me the pros and cons of
using this product: {Paste the whole homepage content from your competitor’s website}
ChatGPT will not only summarize the benefits (which would be highlighted on the
website as well), but it can also tell you the possible cons of the product, which can then
become an opportunity for you.
Take these prompts, add follow-up questions, and save yourself some important time in
market research.
💡Prompt 1: I want your help in some research with my music app for gym goers. I want
you to act as a {fitness enthusiast}. I will ask you questions one by one, you need to
understand my prompt and reply by using real stories and events in your life. Do you
understand?
💡Prompt 2: Using the principles given in the MOM’s test book. Can you come up with
5 questions I should ask my users of the streaming app?
ChatGPT can be a lifesaver here. Here are a few prompts to get you started.
However, converting features into user stories is always a challenge for product
managers.
💡Prompt 2: This is my PRD, can you help me craft user stories from this?
💡Prompt 3: What might be some good user stories to include in a PRD for {app idea}
5. Give it relevant frameworks and find insights
As a product manager, you’ll find yourself using multiple frameworks at your job.
The AARRR can help you find relevant metrics and map user journeys.
Pareto’s principle can help you focus on the most important 20% of items.
and so on. While these frameworks are super helpful, it could be a daunting task to
apply them in a context.
ChatGPT is here to help. Use these prompts & leverage these frameworks:
💡Prompt 1: For {a music streaming app} what would the user journey look like using
the AARRR framework? Also, tell the important metrics for each stage and opportunities
for improvement. Give your answer in a tabular form.
💡Prompt 2: I am a product manager at {AirBNB}, can you give me some ideas to
increase {transactions} by using the BJ Foggs model?
💡Prompt 1: We have created a music streaming app for fitness enthusiasts. However,
it failed to attract any market share. What could be the reasons for the same?
💡Prompt 2: I have done exhaustive user research to come up with problems for my
users of the music streaming app. What are the things I could have done wrong here,
and how can I improve?
💡Prompt 3: We are all set to launch the product in a couple of weeks. Here is the
description of the product {paste PRD}. Can you tell us in case we are not able to ship
the product on time what could be the reasons and how to avoid them?
💡Prompt 3: Act as an Interviewer for the role of a product manager at {Company}. Ask
me 5 questions one by one, wait for my response, and then tell me how I did. You
should give feedback in the following format: What was good, where are the gaps, and
how to address the gaps?
💡Prompt 4: I am interviewing for this job given in the JD. Can you help me understand
the company, its role, its products, main competitors, and challenges for the company?
💡Prompt 5: What are the few questions I should ask at the end of the interview which
can help me learn about the culture of the company?
1. Every company has unique demands, roles, and gaps they are trying to fill in. The
recommendations given by ChatGPT might not always help.
2. ChatGPT can help you create the rightly structured answers, however many
interviewers sense the overly scripted answers quickly and ask you follow-up
questions that push you to think on your feet. As a PM you need to learn how to
think on your feet without depending on any AI tool.
3. Do not use chatGPT for your take-home assignment as first thing, you should
create the first draft yourself. Do not use ChatGPT if your employer has told you not
to.
With those pointers out of the way, here are a few prompts that can help you leverage
ChatGPT for your next interview.
Prompt 1:
“Briefly explain what topics and skills I need to know about to get this job. “
Note: Follow up with questions on those topics, with scenarios.
Prompt 4:
“Here is my resume. Please tell me how should I optimize it for better chances of
getting shortlisted for this job “Note: Copy and send the text of your resume. This
can be done while submitting the resume for the job.
Prompt 5:
“Rewrite this resume with actionable power verbs, and quantifiable achievements and
make it more relevant to the job description I shared earlier. “
Note: Understand the response and make changes to your resume.
Prompt 6:
“Share 5 questions I can expect in the Product Manager interview at [company name]
based on the job and give me pointers on how to answer each.”
Note: You can also find questions from the specific company on the internet (Glassdoor
etc. or someone who has given an interview here) and input them here
Prompt 7:
Based on learnings from “Decode and Conquer” by Lewis Lin, and Jackie Bavaro’s
“Cracking the PM interview”, how would you answer this question: {X}
Note: This will give you answers based on inputs from these books.
Prompt 8:
Prompt 9:
“Let’s do a mock interview: Consider yourself as an interviewer and me as a candidate
for this job interview for a group product manager at Meesho. Send me the questions
one by one and tell me how my response is structured as follows: What is good, and
what can be improved?”
Note: This is the ultimate prompt, tweak it here and there to customize it for yourself.
Now create your own prompts and be better prepared for your next interview.
💡Prompt: What are the important takeaways for a product manager from the book “7
Habits of Highly Effective People”?
4. Generate ideas for your product portfolio. Find the complete guide here.
5. Create outreach message drafts for reaching out to partners, employers, and
hiring managers on LinkedIn/email.
💡Prompt: Write a cold email for Hiring Manager at {company} who is looking to hire a
product manager. You can include information from my resume here to make it more
contextual.
and thats it.
Although this guide seems exhaustive (10+ use cases, 30+ prompts) this is still like
scratching the surface of ChatGPT potential.
I will keep on updating this guide as I find more interesting and helpful use cases.
