MYWORKSTER LAUNCHES FACEBOOK CONNECT

Becomes First Social Network to Join Facebook Members
with Employers, Universities, Career Development Resources

New York, NY . . . January 27, 2009—MyWorkster, the leading online career development network, has announced the launch of Facebook Connect, a ground-breaking bridge between the two social networking platforms. This new capability makes MyWorkster the first professional networking site to harness the power of one of the internet’s most powerful brands.

“MyWorkster leverages the best of today’s technology to put our members in touch with the right person, giving them access to the right job,” states MyWorkster CEO Jeff Saliture. “By combining the viral reach of Facebook, the Web’s largest social network, with the power of MyWorkster’s extensive job search and career-building tools, we are creating a way to access professional opportunities on a scale never before seen,” he says.

Full integration with Facebook Connect, enables both Facebook and MyWorkster users to login using Facebook usernames and passwords, integrate MyWorkster activity feeds into Facebook profiles, and share professional content on MyWorkster with friends on Facebook.

MyWorkster is the first platform to enable individuals to link with employers, job openings and career development information through common associations like universities. The innovative site makes the job search process more effective and efficient for both the MyWorkster member and the employer. Through MyWorkster’s Recruiter 3.0, employers brand themselves through individual profiles, and allowing them to target specific interests, universities and locations.

MyWorkster members have immediate access to nearly 5,000,000 jobs and thousands of decision-makers. They can seek mentorship from their university alumni, connect with others in their field of interest, and find information resources to help them land the job they deserve.

“MyWorkster’s ability to link with Facebook will change the way individuals, employers, and universities extend their reach and recruit the best talent,” states Doug Baruchin, Director of Operations for MyWorkster. “At a time when more and more Americans are looking for work, leveraging this technology makes good sense for job seekers and employers.”

MyWorkster partners with institutions like universities to help strengthen their career development assistance to students and alumni. These partnerships also help those institutions improve communications within their own constituencies.

Becoming a member of MyWorkster is free and takes just a few seconds. Now, with the help of Facebook Connect, getting started is even easier.
