Clock In

No-BS Advice for Getting Ahead in Your Career (Without Losing Your Mind)

De: Emily Durham

Career advice that actually works from a straight-shooter recruiter

Did you know the average job search takes more than five months? That’s because today’s job market is more challenging—and more confusing—than ever. How are we supposed to get hired, get paid, and get ahead in our careers? Why is everything so complicated and gatekept?

That’s where Emily the Recruiter comes in. Using her years of experience as a recruiter and career coach, she pulls back the curtain on everything employment-related and tells you all you need to know about job hunting, networking, and not letting your boss drive you crazy. A much-needed antidote to the “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” ethos, this guidebook gives you the real talk you need to lock in when you clock in.

You’ll learn how to:

• Optimize your résumé and LinkedIn profile
• Network like a pro
• Strike a healthy work-life balance
• Crush job interviews and salary negotiations
• Defeat impostor syndrome and communicate with confidence
• Succeed in your career without making it your whole identity

If you’re ready to work smarter, not harder, Clock In is the no-filter, no-fluff resource you need to thrive in your nine-to-five—and beyond.
