Career advice beyond the job description

Courtney Johnson’s guide gathers career strategies across several stages of working life, from searching and interviewing for a job to negotiating a first salary and seeking recognition for one’s contributions. It also addresses less formal parts of workplace life, including office politics, remote-work setups, and ways to present hobbies on a CV. The book frames career advancement as a matter of navigating workplace expectations and making one’s work visible, not simply putting in more hours. Its scope makes practical choices inside and outside the office the organizing thread.

  • Employees considering salary negotiation or career advancement
  • Readers interested in workplace dynamics and presenting their contributions

Book overview

Discover the unspoken rules for career success with this definitive guide to getting hired and getting ahead in any industry, from the creator of the viral Problematic Career Cheat Codes trend.

If you've ever felt like the rules of getting ahead at work were written for someone else, or like you're constantly working twice as hard for half the recognition, this is the book for you.

Whether you're focusing on negotiating your first salary or just trying to stay sane between the hours of 9 and 5, Courtney Johnson pulls back the curtain on what the A players already know: it's not about working harder, it's about working smarter. With her signature, no-BS delivery and years of experience climbing the corporate ladder, Johnson delivers the blueprint for modern-day career success you didn't know you need. You'll discover how to:
  • approach the job search so that hiring managers come looking for you;
  • conduct an interview that will have them asking when you can start;
  • navigate office politics without losing yourself;
  • represent your work so that your contributions get the recognition they deserve;
  • make the modern workplace work for you, from optimizing work-from-home setups to CV-ifying hobbies;
  • and more.

Career success shouldn't be reserved for a select few. With the tips and strategies in Career Cheat Codes, anyone can rewrite the rules and claim their seat at the table. It's time to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them instead.
