Australia | Brazen Careerist

Hey everyone... I actually live in the States but am trying to plan a working holiday or study abroad trip to Australia. I do graphic and web design, which is also what I'm going to school for here in the States. Figured I would join this network to learn more and hopefully meet some people before I take a trip over there - as I don't know ANYONE in that part of the world :)

hey all, I'm in Sydney working at Deloitte, specialising in M&A. I'm glad I found an Aussie group - I use Brazen for exposure to all things entrepreneurial but its obviously very US-focused

As for the site itself, it is going form strenght to strength with a page rank 3 and a decent Alexa ranking already :( There is even bidding going on, on a couple of the underground websites to create a clone!

@Russell -Given that it has been active only since Oct 09, I'd say pretty well; especially on the vehicle owner front. We are getting a good amount of users signing up. It will be actively pitched to advertisers in a couple of months, that will be the decider. So finger crossed.

Hi All. I am from Canberra and currently working on my venture 'cashURwheels': The one only marketplace of its kind which connects private vehicle owners with advertisers. This young startup along with a day job and a 3yo son keep me well on my toes and busy. Hope to grow and connect with fellow careerists; especially one's down under.

Hi Mitra

Nice idea. I would be keen to find out how you are going with this. Have you had much take up?

Hi All. I am in Brisbane and am working on a start-up to help non-technical people start blogging sooner (http://jiipe.com/), and also an Australian-based personal finance blog (http://ozsavings.com/). These, and my regular (paying) job, keeps me pretty busy! Love to hear what everyone is up to. Cheers!

Hi Russell,
Interesting niche for the blog and an evn more interesting name for your cat :) I am sure you will achieve the goal of financial independence sooner than later. Cheers.

Thanks for the kind words. I had to name the cat that as my girlfriend said it was out for any children we may have. :)

Is anyone here interested in developing a career networking site for Australians?

Hi everyone-I haven't dropped in here for a while. Is there anyone here from Perth? I'm loving the summer and I love hearing how everyone is freezing in the US and Canada while we are hitting the beach on weekends and enjoying the summer evenings. Nice!

Ha! I see you like rubbing it in. Well done! :) I am in Brisbane and thinking along the same lines.

Hi everyone, I lived in Melbourne most of my life but I just moved to Brisvagas! Finally getting my act together and am studying media and communication. I hope to eventually get into events management. If anyone can share any wisdom I'd be very grateful:)

Hey everyone, living in Melbourne for about a year now. Looking to get into technical writing to expand my horizons. Nice to meet you all.

Hey Emma,

What sort of technical writing are you getting into? The term 'technical writing' has always felt a little ambiguous to me.

Hi Ryan

Technical writing is a bit ambiguous I think because it encompasses so much. Specifically I am looking at writing user manuals, product instructions (for staff and customers) and documentation.
I have been contributing to the Open Office project and writing artist how-to's to get a bit of practice.

writing open-source documentation sounds like a good way to build up experience. I developed a production manual for the magazine I worked on - it was curiously satisfying, writing something that would be used in such a specific way ...
