With so much content coming from every which way, how do you get started? I'm Brazen Careerist's Community Manager and I'm happy to help. First, try not to think of what you're getting from Brazen Careerist as strictly advice. Try to think of it as sharing ideas and it will be a little less intimidating to start reaching out to people. Most of us aren't qualified to give advice, we're just trying to meet people through conversation. Second, join a couple groups that seem aligned with your passions and maybe one around the city you're hoping to move to after graduation. Start talking to people in these groups and become fans of the people who you find interesting. Once you've developed a solid base of people you follow, you'll start coming back to Brazen Careerist and realizing how easy it can be to track conversations and make even more connections. Get started with these couple of things and then send me a message through my Brazen Careerist profile. I'm always happy to help out. -RP Hey Cameron,

I have just recently stubbled upon all the great career advice from blogger such as yourself. But I feel like I am way behind in so many areas; a couple are networking and doing meaningful work outside the classroom. I just signed up to Brazen Careerist yesterday and I am still feeling quite overwhelmed by the grand amount of information and advice out there. I am hoping to get more involved with the Brazen site and use it to meet people and learn about career development. Any advice for how to use Brazen wisely would be great!

I can thankfully say that Brazen has done nothing but encourage, inspire and be a voice out there where we haven't always had one. They let us onto the platform to say our piece...it's about time they got a bigger stage to talk on.
