The Secret to Professional Success
Posted by goodmind on September 29th, 2008
One of our favorite ways to knock out a quick and easy blog post is to discuss (take a shot at) the cause and effect relationship between Facebook activity, and employment situation. We post about Facebook a lot, so we couldn’t resist when Stan Schroeder over at Mashable had this to say about the career intelligence of heavy Facebook use;
If you’re a Facebook user and are at the same time interested in doing whatever you can to help your country, you may have seen an odd advertising campaign there from Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service.
The Facebook ads bear text messages such as “Time for a career change? MI6 can use your skills. Join us as an operational officer collecting and analysing global intelligence to protect the UK.” Obviously, someone over there at the secret service thinks that an average superpokin’, donut throwin’, penguin fondlin’ Facebook fiend is spy material. When I think about it, perhaps they’re right – who else is better suited to do deep data analysis than someone who hasn’t got anything better to do than waste time on Facebook all day?
As a market research firm, maybe we should consider recruiting a few of these prime analytic minds from the Facebook talent pool…
