Using Facebook Ads to Job Search

Thursday September 4, 2008
During the summer, One Day, One Job, the entry level jobs site, posted a call for job seekers who were adventurous, wanted to start a job in the next few months, and who had a clear idea of what companies they would like to work for.

Five recent college graduates accepted the challenge and even though they haven't landed a job yet, each of them has had positive results from their Facebook ad campaigns. One Day, One Job Founder Willy Franzen, says, "Facebook advertising is a great way to grab the attention of employers. Landing a job is all about standing out, and these 5 students certainly made themselves stand apart from the competition."

Here's how the candidates used Facebook ads to job search, along with guidelines for how to advertise on Facebook, if you'd like to give it a try.
