The Career Pioneer is a new, but interesting approach to employment issues. This is not your standard employment industry “blah” stuff. It’s written in a more accessible, journalistic style, and its most notable asset at the moment is idea content and perspectives.

http://thecareerpioneer.com/?cat=3

This is going to be a very interesting site when it develops a bit more, because the approach is very constructive.

An example of this approach is this article, Loose Lips Sink Great Ideas: Flesh out your new venture before announcing it to the world
http://thecareerpioneer.com/?p=87

That’s exactly the kind of information, and form of expression, needed to hit The Career Pioneer’s obvious demographic, the younger employment market. This is a competent way of hitting what is actually a very tough, sometimes messy, subject, and making it coherent and comprehensible. The style is friendly and clear.

That approach is definitely lacking on many other sites, where the subjects are buried in format styles and you might as well be reading an old newspaper.

The Career Pioneer doesn’t mind being relevant, (another innovation lacking in many employment sites), and this piece, Is Your Past Dictating Your Future?, will strike more than a few chords with job seekers and people in career hiatus.

We wish The Career Pioneer well with its endeavors, and I hope we’ll see more of this very useful material.

Hi Paul,

Thanks so much for writing an unsolicited review of my site The Career Pioneer. I think you really hit the nail on the head in what I've been aiming to achieve with the site and the content.

I would love to continue to receive your feedback, and also use your current remarks in a press release, quoting you as a website reviewer at CVTips.com (or something related to that.) If you're okay with that, please let me know and if you're comfortable with me using your full name and location. I'm also very interested to find out how you found the site.

I can be reached at info@thecareerpioneer.com.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration! I look forward to getting in touch with you.

Best regards,
Emily Brown

Emily

Sorry for delay in reply, just checking out how we can do this.

I call it like I see it, and I do a bit of journalism myself, so I picked up on your approach. I think it's a lot stronger, and reassuringly free of the stifling insular schmaltz of the conceptual graveyard career advisory seems to be trying to become.

Get back to you when I know what's happening,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I have had a look through myself and found that this type of blog style of writing is much more in tune with the audience rather than providing the same old rigid advice.

I particularly liked the article about gaining more respect! I am no journalist but I utilise forums as a method of finding interesting and new information to pass onto other job seekers!
