Jason Njoku shared some of his experiences this morning on Twitter as regards recruiting Product Managers for irokotv and blacbetng.
I'm particular about the response to the first question: "Have you used either of the service?"
From his tweet, 100% of the candidates answered NO. That's not good.
This does not mean that these potential PMs won't do a great job but it sends a wrong signal.
As a candidate for any job, it's absolutely important you do your research on the job you're interviewing for. This always sets you apart.
You do not need internal gist of the company and all. If you can get it, not bad. Use it wisely.
What is important is knowing all the "google-able" information and packaging it in an intelligent way to sell yourself as the ideal candidate for that position.
Imagine if only one person came to that interview with a great load-down of how the product works and why his current idea can make it better. He will more likely be considered than others.
Preparation is what precipitates success.
Go get 'em!
