Facebook Apps To Help The Job Hunt

I admit I'm not as acquainted with Facebook as I am with LinkedIn, Twitter and blogs. But it's being said that Facebook is one of the key social networking tools to help with employment searches.

If you're going to use Facebook, learn it to your advantage.

Through a tweet on Twitter, I learned of Tawny Labrum, the Blog Admin for BINC, Inc. and key contributor to the AskBINC Blog. Tawny posted an article on how to use Facebook to help your job search: "20 Facebook Applications To Assist In Your Job Search." Twenty!

Check out Labrum's article and then check out Facebook's applications. To find the applications on Facebook, type "applications" in the search window at the top right. From that page, click on the "Applications" tab at the top. There are over 500 applications available, but remember, you'll only need 20!

Or not. Check out a few. You can always remove the ones you don't find useful for your search.
