And anyway, the brand is better for a social network. I thought of you as "Brazen Careerist" *before* you relaunched the site as a social network. It's the name of your blog, the name of your book, and now the name of your Gen Y social network. So, it's time to take it off my blog. But I'm slow.

Don't know what you'd like to call us, but there is nothing in the world (seriously I live for this) I enjoy more than watching a "Maximizer" crash and burn while attempting to "Maximanize the the Xtreme Paradigm of Multi-Networked Pro-activity" or whatever you types are calling it these days.

Brief back story: I resigned from a job 2 weeks ago and plan to spend the next 6 months networking and volunteering, working as close to part-time as possible just to pay the bills. In my work with other entrepreneurs, many of them forget focus on the people (the networking and the contacts) who can help them obtain their goal.

Marketers and publicists have made a science out of getting benefits from being a celebrity—sponsors, a fun network, great opportunities that lead to even greater opportunities. I think the proof of this is that gen Y prefers communicating via social media rather than emai l; news travels faster, via larger groups of people.

I want to be more diligent about finding a mentor to help me grow, outside of my supervisor. We meet many in our lives that can become our coaches or mentors, for longer or shorter periods of time. Finding a good mentor/coach/teacher is tough, but starting a blog exposes you to a huge measure of immediate coaching.

Is the most important thing to getting a good network? I've moved three times for a guy, giving up a great network and great job each time. (This, of course, does not have to be true.) And, good luck with the move back home. Question 2: How do I become an evangelist? Do I need to first become an expert? Should I relocate?

Your career is only as strong as your network! The bias against introverts in American society is well documented , including research that shows that a spot on the cheerleading team foreshadows career success much more reliably than a spot on the honor roll. Let’s do lunch!

Good managers will do their own recruiting by having their own great network. And managers already recruit through networks – at least in areas of short supply, or PAs who they take from job to job with them. Laptops will be for dorks, and keyboards will be too small for big typing sessions, so only dorks will write long form.
