**Facebook Recruiting Takes Off**

Unlock the Power of Facebook for Your Career

Are you aware that Facebook can be a valuable tool for your career and job search? With 44% of US users checking their accounts multiple times a day, it's no wonder recruiters are turning to the platform to find top talent. Savvy companies have already created career pages on Facebook to showcase their culture, answer questions, and share job opportunities. Recruiters can even search for candidates by education, geography, interests, and past employers.

Get Discovered by Recruiters

Did you know that recruiters can search for profiles like yours? You can try it out by typing "people who work at [company name]" in the Facebook search bar. You might be surprised at the results! To increase your visibility, make sure your public profile is professional and showcases your skills and experience.

Facebook Job Postings

Facebook now allows companies to share job postings directly on their pages. These ads can be targeted to specific users based on education, geography, and other criteria. This means you can see job opportunities that match your skills and interests. Look out for the "Apply Now" button, which will populate parts of the job application with your public profile information.

Optimize Your Profile for Job Search

Before you start applying, make sure your Facebook profile is job-search ready. Check your public profile by using the "View As" feature to see how it appears to someone you don't know. Adjust your settings to control who sees what, and use lists to share posts with specific groups of friends.

Stay Connected and Get Ahead

With Facebook, you're only 3.46 degrees away from people who can offer you job opportunities. By leveraging your network and optimizing your profile, you can increase your chances of getting hired.
