Hey there, folks. I just received an email from one of the founders of Management Leaders for Tomorrow (MLT), which, in my opinion, is the premier comprehensive MBA application prep and undergrad career prep organization in the US today. She was writing to let me know about a new site they’ve launched called CareerCore (http://www.careercore.com) that uses network and their own professional development assessments to offer career advice and guidance to professionals and students. I included her email below to provide even more information about the site. If you are on the verge of starting your career, are considering a career transition, or just want to know how to advance your career, I’d highly recommend that you check out the site, register, and see how it can help you out.

“Hey Marquis,
How are things at McKinsey? Remember that company I told you about back at Stanford that I was working on? We just launched the public beta at www.careercore.com. I know that you value mentorship and have given back a lot to various communities, which is why I’m particularly interested in your feedback.
CareerCore is a web platform that delivers career-accelerating guidance from experts and people in your network. Think Facebook meets Kaplan. Unlike websites that offer general career information, job listings, or social connections, CareerCore provides the ideal mix of expert prep tools, personalized guidance, and door-opening relationships to accelerate one’s path to career advancement. Here are some of the things you can do ONLY with CareerCore:
- Score your competitiveness for the jobs you are targeting
- Get a personalized roadmap to maximize your readiness
- Receive and provide career advice via your personal Board of Directors
- Engage your social and professional networks around your career development
- Tee yourself up for unique engagement opportunities with top companies
Here are a few specific suggestions I’d recommend to you:
1. Register at the site, then offer to sit on the board of someone you mentor/provide ongoing career guidance
2. CoreNect with [other users] – so that we can give and share advice
3. Share the link – with others you think would benefit
Look forward to hearing back from you,
Andrea“
