About Brazen Careerist

Career success is about who you know

According to The Wall Street Journal, nearly 90% of jobs are filled through referrals. Career success is not about what you know, it’s about who you know. Sounds cliché, but it’s true. The most sought after people in today’s job market are not the most educated. They’re the most connected, the most networked, and the most visible.

Brazen Careerist lets you use social networking to build real relationships

Brazen Careerist exists to give everyone an opportunity to build and nurture a network of trusted peers. Other professional sites allow you to display a network, but not necessarily build one. Microblogging resources like Twitter can tell you who you should network with, but it’s tough to build a real relationship on 140 character missives. And social networks like Facebook are great for having a conversation, but it’s a conversation that employers don’t want to hear.

Brazen Careerist brings the best of all these worlds into one, cohesive, social media based career management tool. Think of it as a 24-7 virtual networking event, filled with people who can help you get ahead in your career.
