Why I heart Brazen Careerist
You know how it is. We get into our little social (media) circles and find ourselves in a familiar, like minded bubble. There’s nothing wrong with it mind you, it’s just that sometimes you need to read/listen to/talk about something different for a change. Or I do anyway!
Enter Brazen Careerist, the brain child of personal fav Penelope Trunk and co-founders Ryan Healy and Ryan Paugh. It’s supposed to be a career site for “Gen Y thought leaders, forward-thinking organizations and everyone else who realizes that the way we define ourselves in both work and in life needs to change.”
It’s not really a career site for me though. For me, Brazen Careerist is a well-written, intriguing, multi-topic blog syndication resource. Since I joined and subscribed to Brazen Careerist, I’m now feasting my eyes on something other than social media articles, public relations blogs, Google Alerts, news feeds, productivity advice and Twitter tips.
When I troll through the Brazen Careerist site, I read everything from techish Obama commentary to what we can all learn from gamers about failure and how to react when you’ve just witnessed two folks having an affair.
These are posts by folks who aren’t necessarily social media freaks or Twitter obsessed geeks (like me) – and that’s a good thing!
If you are GenY blogger, join Brazen Careerist. You’ll get a great bio page, you’ll read and comment on the thoughts of a lot of smart, passionate and multi-talented folks; you may even find your next gig there.
If your content is relevant, BC will syndicate your blog on their site. Google will love that, FYI!
If you are already Brazen Careerist member. I’d love to hear your take-away. What does BC do for you?

I’m glad you liked my techish Obama commentary
I love Brazen Careerist too- and I never really saw it as just a careers site either. I love the diversity of people and topics talked about there, I love the conversations that go on, and I’ve definitely been able to get to know some really cool people because of it!
Hey Nisha! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Yes! It was as I was reading your post that I thought – “this is wonderful! It’s not just PR peeps in here, it’s all different kinds of folk!”
So, thanks for what you do, Nisha!
One of the biggest pitfalls I run into when trying to recruit new community members to Brazen is that people think the site is totally career centric. This is an excellent testament to why it’s not. Thanks Margie!
I think the experience is something unique to every one of our members. Some people have raved about the exposure, whole others simply love the community and the dialogue.
I feel totally privileged to be a part of whatever experience we’re creating for our community. And I’d be a liar if I didn’t say how much I love reading positive reviews!
Thanks again.
I will say you guys are suddenly the tip top of the results when you google my full name. It’s funny! Google sure loves you guys!
Thanks for providing the great resource for us. I’m really enjoying it.
