We've all been sold the corporate lie. "Put your head down, work hard, and everything will work out for you." Right? WRONG. Put your head down, work hard, and you're destined for a career that's mediocre at best.

If you want to make an impact, you must approach your career strategy from a realistic perspective. That can be uncomfortable; some might call it cynical, but Courtney just calls it practical: it really isn't about working harder or even working smarterβ€”it's about working louder. Whether you're an office-goer or a WFH-er, a day-one newbie or a promotion-seeking baddie, she's got advice for getting your name on the map.

Career Cheat Codes is the guide you need to play the game, get hired, get ahead, and get paid. It's full of easy, smart, research-backed tips and tricks that will get you your dream job and make sure all the right people know your name. It will guide you from burnout and frustration to career confidence and liberation. 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 WFH setups to CV-ifying online hobbies

...and much more.

About the Author

Courtney Johnson has attracted over half a million followers across her platforms by sharing the no-holds-barred secrets to career success that the career nepo-babies want to keep locked behind closed doors. She formerly climbed the corporate ranks to mid-six-figures salaries at multiple companies (and she's only 29), before launching her own brand-building and career-growth consulting business. She frequently ghost-writes LinkedIn posts and internal missives for CEOs, giving her unparalleled access to the minds and mindsets of the person whose attention you'd want to try to snag. And most importantly, she's created a career out of the fundamental understanding that a corporate game is always being played.
