Rock Your Career in 30 Seconds

Man, it has been a week! And it seems like everyone is knocking 'em outta the park too. Perhaps the biggest thing to happen so far though, was Brazen Careerist's new "Rock Your Career in 30 Seconds" video series.



First - What is Brazen Careerist?
Brazen is a lot of things, but mainly it is one of the best communities on the internet. Think of LinkedIn, if LinkedIn were more focused on creating community, had better managed groups, and had an incredibly focused, young, fresh, talented group of people behind everything. Brazen is a great place to make connections for almost any industry, a place for Gen Y and Gen X to co-exist peacefully and professionally, and for some great professional development opportunities.

One of the things I like most about it, is when you need something, if you've connected with enough people - they're a very helpful bunch. It's a great place to find a job, find out how to get a job, and find out how to keep and get better at your job. For me, it kind of makes working that much more fun. Besides the work aspects, there are also groups for interests and hobbies as well.


Now - What is this video series all about?

It is exactly what it sounds like --> 30 seconds of all sorts of people with a quick surefire tip that they've learned throughout their career in order to help you with yours. As of this week the first seven were put up on Brazen's brand new YouTube Channel, and those first seven include yours truly, as well as a post by Dan Schwabel and Guy Kawasaki, amongst other incredible Brazen Careerist Community Members. I know I had fun making mine and hope it helps someone get a jump on whatever their working on. My tip is all about following up, but there's some other great videos to watch as well.


Keep Checking Back
Brazen will be adding new videos all the time, and they will be full of great tips from regular everyday people that are rockstars making it all work. You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter for all sorts of great conversation and advice.
