Recruitment Process
Our recruitment process is designed to help you explore Product Space while giving us the chance to learn more about you. It includes three main stages: workshops & coffee chats, a written application, and an interview. Each step is meant to offer clarity, support, and insight into our community.
Not sure if Product Space is right for you? Meet with one of our board members for a coffee chat to learn about their journey and whether product management might be a fit for you. You can also get your resume reviewed at one of our workshops, which are open to everyone, whether you’re applying or not.
Submit your written application along with your resume to help us understand your interests, experiences, and motivation for exploring product. Below, you’ll find guidance on what we look for in strong applications and tips to help your submission stand out.
What We Look For
We want this process to feel as clear and approachable as possible. Our goal is simple: we want to get to know you and understand what you’d bring to the Fellowship. Below are a few things that help us learn more about you and see your potential. Use them as a guide for showing up at your best.
Your Background
No fancy internships needed. We’re interested in what you’ve learned in class, the extracurriculars or projects you’ve been part of, and how those experiences shape the way you think about product.
Your Interest in PS
We’re a close-knit organization, so we want people who genuinely care about product and about joining our community. Tell us why you’re excited about Product Space, what you hope to learn, and how our mission connects to your goals.
You!
We want to get a sense of who you are beyond your resume. Share what you care about, how you collaborate with others, and what excites you. You don’t need to tell your whole life story, but we’d love to hear about your hobbies, what you’re curious about, and anything cool you’ve seen or done.
Emotional Intelligence
We value thoughtful, two-way conversations. In coffee chats and interviews, listen actively, build on the other person’s ideas, and show genuine interest in their perspective—they’ll do the same for you. Strong communication and empathy go a long way in product.
Interest in Technology
You don’t need deep technical expertise, but we do want to see that you’ve thought about how technology shapes the world around us. Show that you can talk thoughtfully about a product you like, a company you find interesting, or a trend you’re curious about. It’s less about knowledge and more about curiosity and perspective.
Drive To Learn
Our tagline is “Come learn with us,” and we mean it. Product Space is all about growth, exploration, and trying new things. Show us that you’re eager to learn—share topics you’re excited about, recent discoveries, or anything that sparked your curiosity.
