CareerBuilder joins Facebook.com

Posted by: Christian on: August 29, 2007

If you find yourself too busy on social networking sites like Facebook.com to look for a job, I’ve got good news: CareerBuilder.com will do the looking for you.

CareerBuilder.com has launched new two applications on the Facebook Platform for job and internship matching. Users who add the applications will receive continuously updated  job and internship listings. Based on information like major in school, hometown and network, users will receive the most relevant jobs from CareerBuilder’s database in their profile. You can apply to jobs directly or access a link to  search for more job on the CareerBuilder.com Web site.

As with any information shared over the Internet, Richard Castellini, Vice President of Consumer Marketing at CareerBuilder.com, warns Facebook users to be mindful of what they include on their profiles.

Follow Castellini’s tips to make your profile employer-friendly:

1. Promote yourself. Employers often look
at profiles to get a better sense of the candidate’s talents and fit
within the company culture. Use your profile to showcase your
creativity and contributions. Highlight achievements and awards, post
things you’ve written or designed, include community or volunteer
activities or other pertinent information.

2. Have no regrets. Don’t post anything
on your profile or your friends’ profiles you wouldn’t want a
prospective employer to see. Derogatory comments, risqué photos, foul
language and lewd jokes all will be viewed as a reflection of your
character.

3. Be discreet. If your network offers
the option, consider setting your profile to “private,” so that it is
viewable only by friends of your choosing. And since you can’t control
what other people say on your site, you may want to use the “block
comments” feature.

Remember, you must have a Facebook account to add the application!
