⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic cover letter that doesn't mention Mozilla's mission or the specific role; it will be obvious you didn't do your research.
  • Avoid focusing solely on technical features without discussing user value and business impact—PM roles require a balanced perspective.
  • Don't overlook the remote aspect; if you're not experienced with remote work, don't pretend otherwise. Instead, show willingness to adapt and provide examples of clear communication.
