I recently applied for the Senior Product Manager position at Wanderu, excited by the opportunity to contribute my expertise in UX design for booking engines, AI-driven search capabilities, and product marketing with a strong focus on Go-To-Market strategies in travel and hospitality. Despite a rigorous application process, including extensive answers and demonstrating a perfect fit for the role, I was informed that I wouldn't be moving forward in the process.
While I respect the decision, the lack of specific feedback after such a detailed application was disappointing. A more detailed explanation or feedback would have been greatly appreciated for my professional development. My experience with major brands like Langham, Mandarin Oriental, and Sabre/Synxis aligns closely with the requirements of the role, making the generic response a bit perplexing.
That said, I still hold Wanderu in high regard and appreciate the initial prompt response from the CTO. My hope is that future applicants receive more detailed feedback to aid in their professional growth.
