"After graduating with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Education, I furthered my training by completing two certifications. One in Marketing & Communication and the other in Project Management. Since my education and training were so robust, I was fortunate to get an excellent opportunity right out of school to be a Product Manager for Company XYZ in their e-commerce division. I worked for Company XYZ, first as a Junior Product Manager for 3 years, and then earned a promotion to Product Manager. This intermediate PM role is the position I have operated in for the past 4 years. In total, I have functioned successfully in a Product Manager position for 7 years. During this time, the bulk of my focus has been on creating new digital products that help our small business partners and third-party vendors boost their customer conversions and improve customer lifetime value (CLV). I work cross-functionally with a global team of engineers, sales, and marketing professionals, collaborating every step of the way and ensuring smooth product roll-outs. When I read the job description for Amazon's Product Manager, I saw a clear connection between the work I currently lead and the accountabilities in this role. I look forward to growing my experience with a global leader like Amazon, where I can take on additional responsibilities, lead a larger team, and take responsibility for digital product launches that positively impact people around the world."
