Social networking for jobs

I have tried to post my findings and feedback on "social networking for jobs" on Feb 27, 2009 of http://comm2p26.wordpress.com/. However, I could not post it on it although Ive tried 4 times already. I could not figure it out so decided to post it on my blogger. This is the description:

• This week’s ‘collection of tid-bits’ is themed around work/employment & social networking sites. I’d like you to find some articles/info/blog posts etc that are related to this theme; people finding work via SNS or how to use SNS for employment etc.

i never realized that social networking in north ameria occupies much share on employment and job hunting. as i researched about facebook a bit before, i found that facebook is an excellent marketing tool based on what people's interests, age, gender,,, etc. so i think it is easy for companies to segment favorable possible employees in the future as well. i am pretty surprised that, now, job hunting is web bssed and is much easier for students to look for a job through social networking. therefore, as one of these website mentions, we need keep our profiles clean and reliable, because you have no idea how many and what kind of people have visited your profile or viewed pictures of you through other friends' album.

These pictures are...
LinkedIn demographics: an up-market social network and an up-market job site
Both groups contain the sort of people that are in demand, both as consumers and employees. So it’s interesting to see how LinkedIn’s user profile swings against the average for both our Social Networking and Forums and Employment and Training categories in the charts.
