DC Bloggers Brazen Careerist Meetup Recap
Where else can you find an open bar, free goodies, good food and company? At the Brazen Careerist DC Blogger meetup! I was invited along with the other DC BC Bloggers for our first meetup where we shared good company and some good ole blogger networking. This wasn’t my first time to a blogger event but this was probably the best one to date.
Some of you are probably wondering what is Brazen Careerist? It’s the career HQ for all things related to generation X/Y. I first came across the site after this post by Ryan Healy and it validated my feelings around the baby boomer vs generation x/y battle you see going on in the workplace today. I was delighted to find that so many others my age felt the same way about their careers and actually wanted to see some change in how things are done within the realm of recruiting, retention, career development and adaptation to the generational differences.
After all, when baby boomer managers speak of our generation within a work setting, rarely have I found it positive. So this is a community that celebrates the changes our generation steadily brings to the workplace and of course, advice on how we can adapt while blazing our own paths.
This meetup was right on time because rarely do we ever get to meet each other face to face outside of reading each other’s posts, emailing for blog advice and spending hours on Twitter talking about everything but our blogs. Seriously, we had a good time. And, I think what was beneficial to me was to be able to connect with other bloggers outside of my niche and still feel that we had so much in common.
Many thanks to Ryan Paugh, Ryan Healy and Penelope for putting together this awesome event for all of us.
We also received copies of Penelope’s new book, Brazen Careerist, The New Rules For Success. Check it out! Look out for my review in a few weeks!
Hi, I am a baby boomer, looking for baby boomers all over the net. I feel so lonely, are all baby boomers lonely? Can't we unit?
