It is bold, hip, and direct. It's the blog Brazen Life which is part of a larger organization called Brazen Careerist which I stumbled across several years ago and have been a pretty loyal reader ever since. First, they implicitly, sometimes explicit, acknowledge that postings about career related matters are generally pedestrian and then they make the effort to come up with unique angles to approach common career questions. Secondly they don't pull any punches, they are honest and straightforward in their writing style but are still creative enough to get the reader's interest. Here are actual leads from recent posts:
"You want the perfect life. You want to jump through those hoops, get that glory and actually be happy with the greatest of ease"
A lot of the posts also include some rather deep questions for readers to ask themselves. As you can see from the second example they do not just classify career-related matters to job searching but cover a wide variety of topics that affect us as "careerists." Included is advice and commentary on what it means to be "professional," commentary on work-life issues, career growth and social media. All topical areas that many recent graduates and more than a few experienced professionals need to know about and address in their work lives.
If I were looking for a good place to start with readable, reliable advice and the willingness to ask important questions in learning more about careers, Brazen Life would provide more than a good start.
