The GadBall team is happy to announce the first release of Career Link, a unique Facebook application that helps you cultivate your Facebook network and build it into a professional community.

You’ve invested a significant amount of time building your network of friends on Facebook. Introduce your friends to your professional experience and goals. When your friends know what you do for work they can help you by introducing you to their friends; your friends may know people who can help you do your job better.

A Career Link professional profile gives you the opportunity to describe your job and employer. You can make your Career Link profile visible to your friends, and their friends - someone you know may be searching for a job similar to what you do, or you may know of a relevant opening at your company for a friend who is looking for a new job.

Career experts estimate that the vast majority of job openings are never advertised or publicly announced, but filled through networking. Career minded people devote time to cultivating relationships, and CareerLink helps you transform your Facebook friends into professional contacts.

Not familier with Facebook? - it’s a social networking website that connects people with friends and others. Career Link adds another layer of connections to Facebook by introducing an option to connect for career networking.

Home Screen
To add Career Link to your Facebook account or to create your Facebook account, simply follow this link or search for Career Link in the Facebook application directory.

After adding the application to your Facebook account, you’ll be redirected to your Career Link home page. The home page shows you relevant information regarding your account:

  • Invite your friends to view your Career Link profile and see who viewed it.
  • Up-to-date statistics on who viewed your profile
  • If your friends shared their profile with you, you’ll be notified about it here (and on your Facebook home page) and you’ll be able to view it.

Profile Page
It is easy to create and update your Career Link profile . You can upload a resume (or cut and paste a resume), or extract your data from your Facebook profile, and our technology will migrate your data to your Career Link profile. Or, you can manually input your data.

You can make your profile private and not searchable, which means that no one else will know that you have an active Career Link profile, or you can set your profile as “searchable” - meaning others outside of your current network can network with you.

Easily update your profile via the profile edit page. Click on the edit button next to each section you’d like to update.

Share and Distribute Profile Page
Easily share your profile with your friends or with other job boards. With one click you can specify which friends are allowed to see your profile and what job boards will receive it. If you’d like your profile removed from a job board, or not allow your friends to access it anymore, simply click the remove button. It’s that easy.
