Hello Brazen Careerist Community!

Have you heard about #u30pro? It’s a weekly Twitter discussion that’s open to all ages, but focuses on issues and trends around young professionals.  Our mission is to help young pros manage their careers—and bridge the dreaded “Generational Gap”—by openly sharing their thoughts and opinions.

#u30pro takes place every Thursday at 8PM EST.  Tonight’s topic is going to be:

“How young pros can make a name for themselves with a blog”

This week, we’re starting something new.  We’re asking you—the Brazen Careerist Community—to choose one of the questions to be asked during the chat. 

If you have a question related to this topic, leave it as a comment below.  We will choose the best question and feature it in our chat as the #Brazen Careerist Question of the Week.

We also want to share the ideas we're chatting about with other members of Brazen Careerist.  So every Thursday, Brazen Careerist will pull your #u30pro Tweets into your Ideas Feed, just like it does when you use #Brazen.  For this to work, you must add your Twitter ID to your profile (learn how).

Join the chat tonight at 8PM EST.   We recommend using TweetChat.com to follow the discussions.  Just connect your Twitter account to TweetChat, type in the hashtag #u30pro and follow the questions from moderators @CubanaLAF and @DavidSpinks!

Great idea for a chat. Hopefully I'll be able to make it. My question is: how do you balance personal and professional image on your blog, especially if you blog under your own Googlable name?

Great question Vicki. Definitely something that every professional blogger faces at one point or another.

Awesome topic. Not a question but a comment: I can't think of a better way for young professionals to establish themselves than by blogging. When you blog, your ideas and intelligence are all anyone sees--not your age or your title or your resume. You can become whoever you want to be with a blog: position yourself as an expert on a certain topic, have a specific personality, etc. It does take time but it's very much worth it.

Love the idea!

My question is how personal is too personal on a blog? I know there needs to be a good balance, but I am looking for some extra insight/thoughts (beyond, too, of "it depends on your audience" ;) ).
