Brazen Careerist
I’m a member of brazencareerist.com for a while and I regularly scan their group discussions. Yesterday I’ve received a new newsletter from their mailing list that caught my attention, so I thought it’s about time to tell my readers more about this community.
Brazen Careerist feels a little bit like LinkedIn or Facebook. It’s an online community that you can join for free and it’s dedicated to careers (as you may have already suspected by the name).
After you’ve joined the network by creating an account with your email address and a password (you can also log in via an existing facebook account), you can join several networks. These are the equivalent of “groups” that you may know from other social networking sites. I am a member of these networks for example:
and Web 2.0
You can decide if you want to get email notifications when new discussion entries come up in each of these networks. I get notification emails daily but you can also choose to receive them in real-time, weekly or not at all.
If you find some members interesting, you can follow them as a fan and you can be followed by other people also. For example, I’m following Penelope Trunk because I’ve found one of her articles recommended on somebody else’s blog and I like her writing style and the topics she write about.
If you have an account at brazencareerist, you get your very own “Social Resume” which is your profile page that can be used to show off your ideas, your qualifications and your work history.
I’ve found two articles that I want to recommend along with my short overview on this platform.
The first one is from Penelope Trunk and came with yesterday’s newsletter that I mentioned earlier in this post. A Note From Penelope Trunk: How to Skip the Entry-Level Track
The other one is an interesting article from Carlos Miceli that I found under “Featured Posts” today: Why Do We Fail?
As you may know, I’m not looking for job as employee (yet), but I think that this site is also interesting for all people who care about their professional career.
