Facebook is hiring developers using ProspectLinker!

Hey Students!

The holidays are over and reality has started to sink in. Internships, jobs, classes, midterms... let us lighten the load.

Over the next few weeks, ProspectLinker wants to give students the best chance to get hired by Facebook.

As we gear up for our launch in the next few months, we want to give students the opportunity to land a great internship or job, or at the very least, a connection with real people working at Facebook.

We have developed a close relationship with the recruiting managers at Facebook and as a result, for the balance of January, the first 30 students to complete a compelling profile will have their resumes reviewed by Facebook. Consider it a personal recommendation from us, ProspectLinker, to Facebook.

During these times, we understand students are struggling to find opportunities. So, we are here to help students land a great job, to start a conversation with the companies they want to work for, and soon, show students companies and opportunities that they might not have ever considered or heard about on their own.

If you are a student looking to get hired to a top job, we think there are two important criteria in making that happen:

1. Showing companies that you are qualified; and

2. Getting noticed by a company's key decision makers.

This is exactly what ProspectLinker let's you do.

We look forward to helping students realize their career goals!

Facebook using Prospectlinker to build relationships with top students

Tonight, we have privately invited a few hundred students on to Prospectlinker. With our system, these students will now be able to interact one-on-one with the people who work at Facebook.

For those invited, we encourage all of you to fully create your profile and share your background, experience, and strengths, upload your resume, and begin asking questions. The more effectively you do this, the greater the likelihood that Facebook will hire you.

For those of you who were not invited yet, we will be inviting you in the new year. We are constantly working to bring on other companies that you may be interested in interacting with. Please leave a comment below with some of the companies that appeal to you.

In the interim, sign up with a valid school email address and we'll be inviting you soon.

Thanks for your interest and support.
