branch out… on facebook (7 posts)

  • i just  got an invite….has anyone   heard of it?  is it  maybe a new linked in….

  • I heard of it and think if it as a newer/smaller LinkedIn

    maybe I just didn’t give it a chance.

  • http://apps.facebook.com/branchout/ is a professional network on Facebook. It helps you extend your career networking.

  • I got several invites, too, and finally installed the app but I haven’t maintained my profile. I’m already using LinkedIn (and Xing, since this is big in Austria/Germany) and am not ready to maintain a third career network, to be honest…

  • I’ve used Branchout and connected with people that are not on LinkedIn. It seems like just another way to network with people online. Since there aren’t a ton of updates or anything, I don’t think it hurts to be on there.

  • @annfurnivall Yes, it’s mostly for job searching – you can also recommend people.  But I don’t really care for it because once you join can be very spammy.  Sometimes inviting your friends, without you really knowing how it works or how to turn off notifications.  I think LinkedIn is better for job searching but if you are looking for a job, it doesn’t hurt to look in multiple places.

  • thanks …thats about    what i  thought it  was…im not looking  for a job and sure wouldnt  want to burden my friends, so i  guess i will just skip it….and   go to linked in  if i ever get  the urge….i do  sell wholesale  soi  knwother is probably something for me out there if i tried hard wnough..

    i just  dont want to   spend  time on   lots of   convos  with people who  dont need my  furniture!!!  lol
