Facebook Page for Business

For everyone who doesn't know yet, Facebook is becoming more than just a website to keep in touch and trade pictures via the internet.  Facebook is evolving into a communication and advertising bases for many companies and organizations.  A huge advantage for using a communication site for posting your resumes, job listings, or ads, is the access to millions of people with various taste which spreads over the majority of the globe.  We have to embraces what we have here!  This is where the future lies!  As you can already see people get jobs via internet sites such as Facebook more frequently.  In my personal opinion, taking a feature of a company, such as the hiring process, and making it accessible to people over a wider employing front can give your business more integrity.  This may be because you are opening the placement to maybe people who aren't in local vicinity and could be more qualified therefor increases the quality of your company and can give you more options.  Below is a screen shot of my personal resume made on Facebook.  I hope to use this tool in the future when the time comes to look for my "dream" career.

  As you can see in my resume listings of education, skills, past employment are easily accessible. Using Facebook is even more of an advantage for the people who are seeking employment.  And yes, you may say "well aren't there those websites already made for looking for jobs, like monster.ca or edmontonjobshop.ca?  Well yes there are, but they are only limited to people who use them.  Facebook, if it isn't already, is becoming the world's most popular website.  You can attach your resume to your Facebook profile where people can access such information about you if they are employing but not posting.  You might even get offers for interviews you didn't even consider applying for because you didn't have knowledge of them in the first place.  But yet someone who looks at your skills can determine if you are right for their open positions.  Jobs are popping up everywhere in Canada, some you didn't even know you were qualified for. Having a globally understood tool like Facebook can expand your limits and get you what you want.  And best of all, to some maybe, you can look for a career at the tip of your fingertips without having to leave the couch. 

Piece 'o cake :)
