Monster's Facebook app BeKnown provides an easy way for job seekers to search for and apply for jobs without leaving Facebook.
Once you've set up a BeKnown profile, you'll be able to make connections, search for and apply for jobs, see featured jobs that are matched with your profile, view company information, get endorsed, and apply for jobs directly from the app.
You'll have an online version of your resume, which can be printed as a PDF. Even better, you'll be automatically matched with jobs, based on the information in your BeKnown profile.
An important feature of BeKnown is that it separates personal from professional. Your BeKnown profile is separate from your Facebook profile and it stays that way. You don't have to worry, any more than usual, about your personal life and what you post on Facebook overlapping with your work life.
Here's more on BeKnown and how it can help you job search and here's how to sign up for BeKnown

I’ve just tried the service. It’s easy to setup, easy to import contacts and a clean user interface. However, the relevancy of its recommended jobs didn’t really match with my professional profile. I posted some more thoughts on it here: http://bit.ly/kIOpyK
This is an interesting way for Monster to enter into Web 2.0, but I think I would wait a bit before wading into these waters. Let the bugs and potential pitfalls come out first.
