How to go about managing the revenue and yield for a product as a product manager?



I’m going to a job interview for a Product manager role in online travel. I have no prior experience in marketing. The company knows that but i want to be able to answer the typical behavioural questions “how do you go about” type:

how do you go about managing budget?
how do you go about defining the product strategy for products ?
how do you go about organising promotional activities to achieve performance outcomes and deliver revenue targets ?

Planning on relocating to Atlanta - What jobs should I apply for?



I intend to relocate to Atlanta and I’m going to be smart by having a job waiting there for me before I get there. I’ve posted my resume on Monster, Careerbuilder, as well as AJCjobs.com noting that I intend to relocate. The thing is, my resume’s Objective is pretty general, as I’m not looking for a specific job title - I’m just seeking full-time employment. I have a bachelor’s degree in Biology that I completed in 2005(was a pre-med major), and have done hospital volunteer work, and a behavioral science research internship, but my current employment is retail/customer service. Do you have a good idea of what I should be looking for in the Atlanta area? Or maybe my question is, with my background, what will be an easy target job for me? Are there any specific companies I should directly apply to?
