Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

I’m in between projects. I have been for a while now. So if anyone is looking for a freelance copy and u/x writer, put me in coach! I’m available to work.
Check out my portfolio and let me know if we’re a good profit match.

Not a book, but there’s a series of articles online called The Ugly Duckling Trilogy that I appreciate. Parts of it can get a little in the weeds around finance, but for the most part it’s great for further explaining the value of the role. I’ve actually referenced it a bit when selling in/building PM departments.
Lynda.com has a lot of detailed courses. You can sign up for your own paid account. Some companies will have a corporate account or see if your local library has access.
Not a book either, but I just found the Project Management Happy Hour Podcast.l and I’d definitely recommend! The hosts are super genuine and do a great job to stay away from dry content.
