I know many companies already do but it is definately first for a shipping line which tends to be a somewhat old fashioned type of business.
I convinced the VP of HR by saying that I could could 100% guarentee that her 20 something year old neice in Vancouver would be on Facebook along with every other student we are trying to reach out to and sure enough she was.
Obviously I will be using a different profile than my personal one which is a "recruiting tool" of a different sort . What prompted me to suggest it was that I was getting more job applications than girlfriend applications on my personal profile. :lol: ;)

My boos's son got jumped a few week-ends ago in Ottawas ghetto. he got beat up pretty bad, cheek bone pushed in an inch, reconstructive surgery, the whole 9 yards. :(
He found the person who attacked him on facebook.. No joke. He told police, and they arrested him this past tuesday.
yes its is huge. I refuse to join. Its hard to, because Im seeing freinds from Red Deer and Calgary on there that I havent talked to in over 10 years.
