The Countdown that will Get You Hired: 24 Days of Bold Moves

Here’s to breaking barriers, flipping tables, and storming into 2025, boss.

Over the past 24 days, we didn’t just step up—we tore the whole damn playbook apart. We pushed boundaries, redefined our worth, and planted our flag on the career we’re building. This wasn’t just a countdown—it was a revolution.

Here’s the best part: this isn’t just for December. These 24 days are a guide we can use any day, any week, any month of the year. Whether we’re reigniting momentum, recalibrating our focus, or just need a reminder of what’s possible, this calendar has our back.

Here’s a no-holds-barred look back at the fire we’ve lit, from the final triumphs to the badass foundation that started it all.

24: Take a Bow, Queen: You’ve done the work—celebrate yourself. Reflect on your growth, your courage, and every bold step you’ve taken. This is just the beginning of something extraordinary.

23: Be the Expert: You don’t need permission to lead. By sharing your insights and perspective, you positioned yourself as a thought leader in your field.

20: Stop Over-Preparing: You stopped waiting for perfection and trusted yourself to take the leap.

17: Your Network Needs a Shake-Up: You stepped out of your comfort zone, finding people who challenge and inspire you to grow.

16: Steal Like a CEO: Instead of reinventing the wheel, you studied the strategies of top professionals and used their paths as inspiration for your own.

15: Ask for What You Deserve: You practiced stating your salary expectations with confidence, knowing your worth and owning it.

14: Redefine Rejection: Every “no” became redirection, a step closer to the right “yes.”

13: Kill the Word ‘Help’: You reframed your outreach, offering collaboration instead of pleading for assistance.

12: Stop Justifying Your Worth: Accomplishments were stated boldly, without apologies or over-explanation.

11: Turn Down the Smile: You replaced over-nodding with poised listening, letting silence amplify your points.

10: Lead the Conversation: You prepared thoughtful interview questions that showcased your leadership and vision.

6: Stop Apologizing: You eliminated weak language and spoke with clarity and confidence.

5: Own Your Digital Space: You transformed your online presence, making sure it reflected the leader you are.

4: Your Voice Is Your Weapon: You practiced speaking with conviction, ensuring your words carried weight and power.

3: Burn the Good Girl Playbook: You stopped waiting for permission and applied for roles as if they already needed you.

2: Rewrite Your Inner Narrative: You crushed self-doubt by listing your accomplishments and reminding yourself why you’re the best candidate.

1: Name the Damn Thing: It all started with clarity. You claimed your career goal like a headline, unapologetically stating what you want and where you’re headed.
