A couple years ago I received an email from a person I'd never heard of who asked me to be a part of a site with a concept that was totally foreign to me. That person was Ryan Paugh and the site, Brazen Careerist. He told me that as an important part of the gen-y blogging community, I would make an excellent addition to the team of bloggers he was putting together for a new kind of online social community.
My only experience with the whole gen-y movement up to that point was that I had read Penelope Trunk's (co-founder of Brazen) book, "The Brazen Careerist" and had listed it on my fledgling blog (still a class assignment at the time) as one of the best resources for new bloggers and newbies to the career world in general. I received a nice response from her and thought I'd hit the big time, getting a response from a real live author!
I agreed to be a part of this new venture and have never regretted it. When the site launched I was proud to be on those early email blasts full of the most interesting posts. I made contacts and considered myself among elite company as I came to know and respect many of the contributors through their blogs.
So much has changed since that day. My blog grows all the time, and I have become a person who is proud to be referred to as a blogger. As Brazen has grown as well I now consider it a challenge to remain at the top of my game, to get a mention in that weekly email. Both my writing quality and my self-confidence have also grown.
None of that would be possible without Brazen Careerist and their online network of wonderful bloggers. Because of the exposure I have received through the syndication of my blog, I have developed a professional reputation as a blogger and social media consultant. I have been asked to speak at conferences, and had my blog picked up by more than a dozen different web sites. Pretty cool.
Now, Brazen is changing, for the better. Tomorrow Brazen Careerist will launch with a whole new look and feel but will continue the excellent service known well by all who have used the site for networking, career advice or simply putting forth an opinion.
Make sure to check out the changes! I know I will!

Hi,
I'm spending my time here for the children of Haiti.
I'm doing my part for a non-profit haiti organization in which the main focus is to
creating an oppurunity for the children in haiti. If anybody wants to donate then then please do so here:

They give children in Haiti a positive outlook through education.
And yes, they're legitimate.
It would be great if you could help
