Cracking the PM Interview: How to Land a Product Manager Job in Technology by Gayle Laakmann McDowell (Author), Jackie Bavaro
This book provides an introduction to the career of a product manager and the interview process typically involved. There are examples of some of the types of questions asked and proper ways to solve them. There is also a section on resumes. You want to have accomplishments written in the past tense, not activities that you were told to do. It is good to tell stories when asked. Bring up accomplishments as you are going. Talking in bullet points is also good.
Some of the book is dated. (Yahoo! and Twitter are not at the top of anyone's lists now.) It also spends a little too long on programming questions (they have other books for that.) There is other content like case studies that also feels repetitive from their other books, but overall, this book has a better variety of content.
