I read the article ">Facebook, Jobster to Launch A Site for Young Job Seekers about Facebook and Jobster planning to cooperate togather to help in job search. I'm realy not sure about it. I think this would really change the idea of having fun in the facebook. I also remmeber one of the guys in the class mentiond that he couldn't get a job because of his facebook account. So I'm realy not sure how this would work. I think this would take Facebook to another level. It think it will be boring and people will think many times before posting anything. as mentiond in the article "While social-networking sites are making it easier for job seekers to connect with recruiters online, prospective hires must be more cautious of what they post on the Internet. The sites could also expose embarrassing photos and comments to potential employers or recruiters. Users will have to be more careful what information they post, or "tag," in the profiles they create through the Facebook career site than they would for a social-networking profile."
On the other hand, I really think it is great idea and it might really help businesses and users to get benefit of this cooperation. It will safe time but will it provides the right image about the condidate.
Why they do not send a message to all Facebook users to encourage users to open an account with Jobster instead of getting into the facebook profile. This would leave facebook fun as it is and will do the things for Jobster .

This is very interesting...I am not sure how many students would really go for it after the breaking news about many of them not being able to get jobs because of their drinking pictures and their foolish jokes.
In any case, I think that facebook should establish a seperate web-site for their user-more professional web-site where you really would take your time to input all of your information and not having your pictures and friends drinking in the club (that of course is personal life which need to be seperated from professional)
Exactly, they should create seperate webpage which has seperate but connected database so the user has the choice of sharing information from one account to another.
I think managers drink too :) so what's the problem
I dont like how companies can use facebook to see how i am at a party...Im a college student if my grades are fine let us have fun
leibneritec I agree
they should judge you from your work not from some pictures
