Dan Schawbel wants to hear your success story

Below is the text of an e-mail request from Dan. If you think you have something that he is looking for, contact Dan directly. How cool would it be to get your story in his book?!!

 

I'm looking for success stories from employees who have 0-7 years in a company (preferably a large company) for a new book I'm writing on workplace success. I'm looking for younger employees who have done activities at work that have made them stand out and advance in the workplace. I'm only looking for people that are currently employed.

I'm especially interested in employees who have:

  • Switched roles inside their company without getting any backlash by their current manager
  • Turned their passion (inside or outside of their company) into a new position at work
  • Found ways to network with key executives
  • Gotten compliments by the way they dress and behave at work
  • Started a new business on the job or helped their company enter a new market
  • Had their online profiles (what they published, their picture, etc) effect the way they were treated in the workplace for better or worse
  • Exhibited teamwork that has led to a promotion or more responsibilities
  • Gained more visibility at work with more people knowing who they are
  • Developed cross-generational relationships
  • Challenge themselves in a new way, which led to a new opportunity
  • Became the go-to-expert at work for a specific skill or on a topic and then sought after internally for that ability/expertise

Please let me know asap.

Thanks!

- Dan
