About this event
Your resume should open doors, not raise questions. If you’re exploring product management or trying to position yourself more clearly for internships, campus opportunities, or early-career roles, this session gives you a practical chance to get sharper, more specific feedback on how you present your experience. This is not a generic career talk. Resume Review: Campus PM x SDA Bocconi Asia Center is an in-person session designed to help you understand what makes a resume stronger, clearer, and more relevant for the roles you want to pursue, while also giving you space to meet other ambitious students and early-career peers. About the Event At its core, this event is a focused, community-driven resume review session. It brings together people who care about building better applications, learning how to communicate their strengths, and getting more intentional about the next step in their career journey. Because the event is hosted in collaboration with Campus PM x SDA Bocconi Asia Center, you can expect a setting that feels thoughtful, professional, and peer-oriented. The format is built around practical improvement rather than theory alone, so the goal is to leave with clearer direction on what to change, what to keep, and how to make your resume easier for recruiters, hiring teams, or club leads to understand quickly. Whether you already have a draft resume you’ve been using for applications or you’re still refining how to present your projects, internships, leadership work, and academic experience, this session is meant to help you move from “good enough” to more polished and more convincing. What to Expect Expect an in-person session that combines resume-focused learning, review, and conversation. The emphasis is likely to be on practical edits and high-signal feedback rather than abstract advice. You can look forward to a mix of activities such as: Reviewing what makes a resume easy to scan and strong in structure Understanding how to describe impact, ownership, and outcomes more clearly Identifying common mistakes that weaken otherwise strong profiles Getting perspective on how to tailor your resume for PM-adjacent, business, campus, or early-career opportunities Meeting other attendees who are also actively preparing for internships, placements, or future roles The networking and community aspect matters here too. Since this is an in-person event, there is real value in the conversations before, during, and after the session. You may hear how other students are framing their projects, what kinds of roles they’re targeting, and what challenges they’re facing in applications. That kind of peer learning can be just as useful as formal feedback. Come prepared to engage. If you already have a resume, bring it with you in its most updated form so you can make the most of the discussion. If you’re earlier in the process, you’ll still benefit from seeing how resumes are evaluated and what stronger positioning looks like in practice. Why Attend A lot of people spend hours editing resumes without knowing whether the changes actually improve their chances. This event helps close that gap. Instead of guessing what recruiters or reviewers might value, you’ll get a clearer sense of how your resume reads from the outside and where it can become stronger. This matters especially if you’re interested in competitive opportunities. For many students and early-career applicants, the resume is the first filter. A stronger document can help communicate not just what you’ve done, but how you think, what you’ve owned, and why your experience deserves a closer look. Attending can help you: Spot weak or vague bullet points and replace them with stronger ones Improve clarity, relevance, and overall structure Learn how to present projects and responsibilities with more impact Build confidence before applying to internships, fellowships, campus roles, or full-time opportunities Expand your network through conversations with motivated peers in a shared professional setting Even small changes in wording, prioritization, or formatting can make a meaningful difference. If you’ve ever felt unsure whether your resume truly reflects your potential, this is a good chance to sharpen it with intention. Practical Details This is an in-person event, which makes it especially useful for focused discussion and real-time interaction. You’ll be able to participate more actively, ask questions in the moment, and connect with other attendees in a way that is often harder to do online. Date and time: Saturday, September 21 at 2:30 PM GMT+5:30 Because the session is built around review and conversation, it’s worth arriving ready to participate.
