Giveaways

monster beknownMonster.com recently launched BeKnown, a professional networking app for Facebook. Since many professionals spend more time on Facebook than any other networking site, Monster wanted to give people the opportunity to network professionally within the worlds largest and most popular social network. BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page (think along the lines of a network within a network).

It also lets you conduct a job search of Monster’s database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company, job opportunity, or person they are interested in.

  11. I think it’s a great app, and it looks like it would be helpful for the professionals out there. I’m not sure that my particular profession would be able to use it to it’s full advantage though.

  45. This would be awesome. It would help me look professional on facebook and network through a site I use regularly.

  47. I would like this app because I landed my last job on Monster.com and it wpuld be noce to link with pepple but linkedin is not allowed by my employer.

  48. I think it would be nice to make my facebook presence more professional & this app would make that easier!

  57. This will help me network professionally.

  59. It might help me network with other people in my profession – especially helpful and important since I am about to pursue graduate studies and after that seek a career change.

  65. This app would be awesome as I am currently job hunting and I also use facebook. It would be useful to set up my resume and also be able to have my resume available to friends and family to forward to employers they know of that are looking to hire. Great job. Wondering if it works on kindle. I will check that out as well.

  69. This might work for me because I could use it to network and hopefully find and secure a position in my field of work. I have great references and over a decade of experience, but despite warnings from my colleagues not to stop working to stay home and be with my son until he started school (you’ll never be able to get back in!), I think i will be able to re-enter my field. I love the career I had, and my son begins school during the latter part of this year, so it’s time to start networking and hoping to find the right position (in another state, I might add, since we also moved to be closer to my FIL who had a serious heart attack). It’s going to be tough, but with apps like this and resources aplenty abounding these days online, I am seriously hoping to get my nose back to the working grindstone.

  74. right now im job hunting so this app could give me a leg up and help me connect!

  75. New to me. Thanks. Trying to find a job closer to my parents house and perhaps this will provide some helpful exposure.

  78. I love this idea, it would be so much easier to have everything all in one place!

  84. In a year when my son is in school full time and I’ll be entering the workforce, this would be nice to have at my fingertips.

  86. This would be great for me to network for a job in a professional atmosphere

  87. This app will work for me because I am broke and need some new makeup

  92. this will help me when I go back to work when toddler starts school in a couple of years

  97. My makeup right now is very mish mash and incomplete. This would give a direct opportunity to give me the finished look for work and home!

  98. This would be so so handy, I will be finishing school in the spring and will need to network for a different job after I have my license, this would definately help!

  101. This app would work for me because I like it is separate from my Facebook account, where I like to be more personal

  107. This would be great for my daughter and her co-workers to trade shifts, etc.

  112. It would really help me network and connect with possible new co-workers and employers

  114. This would be great for my current and former co workers to connect on shift trades and potential jobs.

  115. way to connect quickly to my connections

  129. I am currently looking for a job and this app looks like it would help me network myself and to look for a job on Monster.com

  130. I think it would be a great way for a business to network and also for people to job search their field

  136. it would be fun to communicate with others who were in my line of work thanks clallen at ntin dot net

  137. after being a stay at home mom for nearly a decade, I find myself having to go back to work! I can use all the help I can get!

  146. I recently moved to a new country. Obviously, I know very few people here. I could really use a little help in networking and getting to know people who work in my profession. BeKnown sure could help me with that!

    Thanks!

  164. I like the idea. Facebook is so large and popular. Nice to have a profile for networking only and a fun one for friends

    brich22 at earthlink dot net

  166. Well, I’m recently laid off and am looking for work (both freelance and full time) and it’d be nice to have help with my job search integrated into FB. I don’t often use Monster because I work in the nonprofit field, but perhaps this’d help me find something I wouldn’t otherwise be looking for.

  167. Not sure how the app would help me, I am kinda of tech illiterate and rarely use apps.

  170. daily tweet-https://twitter.com/#!/409cope/status/161606479852478464

  175. It would be a great help to network and find more work working from home

  182. This app would help me network with more people in my career field, and help me have job security in case anything were to happen to my current job.

  186. I “like” you on Facebook (Katharina Ess)

  189. This app would help me in a number of ways. First of all, since I’m a writer, I could use it to network with other writers, publishers, editors, etc. I already do that on regular Facebook, but having a dedicated place for those contacts would be great!

    I’d also use it to actually find writing assignments within that network. I started using monster.com when it first came to the net and it’s very useful.

  225. I’ve been a SAHM for about 10 years now, and I’m ready to get back into the workforce. This would be a nice way to get connected to options out there, on a platform I’m already used to!

    coriwestphal at msn dot com

  237. i think this would be a good alternative to facebook since it would be purely professional contacts

  248. It could possibly help me get a job when I’m ready to go back to work.

  251. It could possibly help me get a job when that time comes. thank you!!

  270. BeKnown allowing you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook seems fantastic – like setting up a blog without having to hire a professional to set up the blog for you.

  271. I just graduated college, so I think it could be helpful in helping me learn to network. Miss_slytherin[at]live[dot]com

  279. Now that my children are getting older, it would be a good starting point for me to find out the kind of jobs available in my area!

  281. This app would be great for me! I’m graduating college soon and as someone working in social media, this would be a great tool for me to network and job hunt!

  282. I am finishing my degree this coming semester so this app might be useful for finding a job.

  283. Now that Jasper’s in full day preschool, I have been contemplating working again. It’s been so long since I’ve had a “real” job that I could use a boost!
