The Career Project's fresh perspective has garnered praise from educational and career organizations for providing users the unique ability to learn about thousands of careers directly from the people who work them.
"TheCareerProject.org is a mentor database, designed to help guide and inspire people who are just starting out in the workforce or looking to change fields," says Alicia Schwartz, CEO and founder of TheCareerProject.org. "Particularly in today's job market where the average person has two or even three career shifts, this type of information is invaluable."
Recognized in both the academic and employment communities, The Career Project has been featured in numerous blogs and articles including The New York Times (http://shiftingcareers.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/06/what-would-it-be-like-to-part-2/), Yahoo News and The Riley Guide.

"There's more to a career than simply the job description or the rate of pay," says Schwartz. "And people want to know these things. What do you actually do all day? What's the worst part? What's the best? How did you get the job? What should I do to get a similar position? TheCareerProject.org is the only online resource that can really answer any of those questions."
