I do have 2 specific questions, actualy.
1) why competition is ABSENT on facebook ? (i’m talking about a total absence of strategy in social networks like facebook). is it neglection?

2) Is the fact of creating a sponsored group (300 000$ and more) crucial for Jobster to reach the top toward the facebook comunity?

if you have an idea, i’ll be honored to hear it

regards,

Yann Levy

And that is why they are offering their listing services (classified at best) for free. It is a lawsuit haven. If HR or recruiters were to look for new hires through Jobster, they are risking discrimination lawsuits. Here is why (speaking from HR experience). Try sending your resume with a picture of yourself. Trust me. 99% of the recruiters or HR will dump your resume. Why? Because if they looked at your resume with your picture and deny you the job, you can cry discrimination. That is why HR and recruiters will run far away from Jobster.com. Jobster is just advertising company. They are really good at getting media attention but HR or recruiting departments will stay away from them. No matter how much time’s change towards social networking, unless the job law changes, having a site with your picture will not get you a job. Probably a pizza delivery job. Jobster will die off really soon.

I just don’t see how Facebook can help you advance in one’s career any better than LinkedIn.
