From the creator of AdviceWithErin, the definitive book on how to use the right words at work--so you can build the career you deserve

We've all been there: you're sweating, sitting in front of your laptop, and the interviewer on the screen says, "Tell me about yourself." You freeze. Is that even a question? What are they expecting from you? What do you say?

If that paragraph made your heart beat a little faster, TikTok star, career educator, and "the internet's big sister" Erin McGoff is here to help. 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 work speak 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 an art 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.
