Description

"They get down to the nitty-gritty of the workplace in twenty-seven ‘life hacks' . . . (Think: Where Sophia Amoruso's #Girlboss left you hanging.)" —The Hollywood Reporter

In The Career Code, the third book in the smash-hit Who What Wear series, fashion and digital entrepreneurs Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr bring you the Everygirl's guide for creating your own professional success, on every level, flawlessly. The book is filled with insightful, pragmatic "career codes" to follow, as well as all of the practical, how-to advice they've learned while building their company from zero employees in 2006, to the thriving, multibrand, multiplatform, multi-million-dollar company it is today.

In this approachable, authoritative, and inspirational book, you will find the most useful and accessible tips and tricks to strategically build your career into exactly what you want it to be, from negotiating your salary to avoiding the biggest mistake most people make when they quit. Chapters include advice on résumé building, dressing for the job you want, and how to effectively communicate at work—even with the most difficult colleagues—all done with the Who What Wear girls' practical and polished signature style. It gives you total insight into how you can excel at work in every arena, whether you're just starting your very first job, contemplating switching fields, or finally a boss who's building her own team. The Career Code also includes over twenty of Hillary and Katherine's best "life hacks" to ensure your out-of-office life runs just as smoothly as your career.

This is the must-have handbook for every woman at every stage of her career, no matter where she sits in the boardroom.
