Avoid This Million-Dollar Mistake!

Hey Hey there!,

Today’s email could save your next raise—or even your next promotion.

So take one minute. Read this carefully.

Here’s the million-dollar advice I wish someone gave me when I started:

Save your job description.

You might be thinking:

“But Katie, I already accepted the role and I’m doing fine. Why would I need the job description now?”

Here’s why:

When I landed my first corporate job, I didn’t save the original job description.

Fast forward a year… I realized my day-to-day role had changed a lot.

So I went to my manager to talk about a raise—only to realize I had no proof of what I originally signed up for.

No documentation. No leverage. No raise. 😓

Don’t make that mistake.

Your job description is more than a formality—it’s a frame of reference.

It’s how you show that you’ve gone above and beyond.

When the time comes to ask for a raise or a promotion, comparing your current responsibilities to that original description makes your case bulletproof.

Bonus: It also protects you from being overworked and under-compensated.

So do yourself a favor:

Save the job description the moment you get the offer.

That’s the message for today.

Talk soon,

Katie
