Blogger Interview-Nicole Crimaldi@MsCareerGirl

A few weeks back I had a chance to talk to Nicole Crimaldi and she gave me some rock solid advice on life, careers, and blogging. If I had known half of what she told me when I was looking for a job, I probably would have found one much sooner. Here’s some of the highlights:

• Why it doesn’t matter if your background has nothing to do with marketing/pr/social media
• Why Networking is essential to your success as a young entrepreneur
• The importance of focus
• Why the rat race is far scarier than taking risks
• Why a blog is something that could be your career insurance policy
• Why having a transparent social media presence is actually helpful in a job search
• Why blogging needs to stop being treated as a hobby
• Highlighting the work of other people on your own blog in order to build a strong relationship
• How a controversial blog post calling out an A-list blogger lead to a spike in traffic
• How her blog has resulted in connections with best selling authors and many more interesting people
