LinkedIn CEO经验谈：改变职业生涯的三条建议

我2001年5月加入Yahoo公司，成为企业开发团队的联席主管。通过这个职位和公司的运作，还有yahoo公司在数字生态系统中的重要作用，这份工作提供给我见证消费者网络行业这个特殊的转型时期的最佳机会。

Roughly a year after I started, Dan Rosensweig joined as Yahoo's new COO. In addition to being an experienced web operator, Dan is one of the most effective sales people I know. I learned this firsthand after he tried recruiting me to an operating role on his team literally every time I saw him over the first year of his tenure. Though I'd politely decline each time -- telling him I was happy having the opportunity to work directly with the CEO, founder, and other executives in a strategic capacity -- he never stopped persisting.

我加入Yahoo一年以后，Dan Rosensweig成为Yahoo公司的首席运营官。除了是一个经验老道的网络运营商，Dan还是我所知道的最优秀的销售之一。我亲身体验到这一点，因为他任职的第一年内每次见到我都会力劝我加入他的运营团队。虽然每次我都礼貌的拒绝了他——告诉他我很高兴能有跟公司的首席执行官、创始人和其他高管们直接共事的机会——但他一直都没有放弃说服我。

Then, almost a year to the day he started, Dan said, "Jeff, you've always told me that your lifelong ambition is ultimately to reform the education system in the U.S. Let me ask you something: Do you think you are going to be better prepared to make that a reality by pushing paper around, working on strategy, and doing deals; or by moving in to operations and building teams, inspiring people, and developing great products that change people's lives?"
