Justin Swain

This accomplished product leader was ready for his next role but had many rejections in jobs for which he was a good fit. Justin is now working as a Principal Product Manager with people he loves and making 41% more money than before.

Justin looked for some roles on his own, applied for a few roles, and even got to the final rounds. But it was not smooth sailing — he got close but lost to some candidate ahead of him; he realized that he was not good at interviewing and hadn't really looked for a new job in many years.

At this point, he decided to change things. He researched many programs and picked the Intentional Job Search program based on the quality of people behind it and the structure. He jumped into the program and threw himself into mindset practices and writing his stories. He got feedback from coaches on his stories and his interviews until he was confident he could kill it.

With the newfound skills and confidence, Justin got a ton of inbound requests on LinkedIn, applied to five places, went to three final rounds and got 2 offers, and accepted one of them with a 41% compensation increase.
