ABSTRACT

The careers of successful employees can be described on the basis of different career models and types. In terms of actual career-enhancing factors, the top workers were able to point to several considerations that they believed were salient. Misjudgments were mainly specific to the period of their youth. misjudgments of this kind can often be useful; it is not always a waste of time because the perspective gained from travelling on byways can actually be a valuable experience. Major obstacles were represented as conflicts experienced in the workplace. The journey begins from the childhood and adolescence of the Employee of the Year. Narratives and metaphors function as the foundation of creativity in language and thinking this idea can be employed to represent phenomena in a new light. When the aim is to analyse people opportunities for achieving success, happiness and positive work experiences, human resources are one possible way of approaching the issue.
