The Secret Language of Work

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
From the creator of AdviceWithErin, this is the highly anticipated, definitive book on how to use the right words at work-so you can build the career you deserve. In The Secret Language of Work, McGoff shares her best, customizable scripts for how to communicate in the professional world-word-for-word, exactly what to say during interviews, while negotiating salaries, when you need to set boundaries with co-workers, as you advocate for yourself, and in any sticky situation at the office. With McGoff's advice, you will master the unwritten rules of language that are key to career advancement. Learning how to say the right words, in the right order, in the right way, at the right time, is a rare skill that too few people are taught. Stellar communication is probably the most valuable skill you can possess-and once you know the secret language of work, you will be able to confidently tackle anything your sure-to-be outstanding career presents to you.
