BranchOut - Job Seeking Facebook App

In today's job climate, networking is the key to securing a new job. Sending your resume out or applying for jobs online is a thing of the past. For true success, relationships must be made.

The new app BranchOut will help you tap into your Facebook friends and check to see if anyone you know happens to work at the place you hope to have a job.

"People who aren't close may not help each other, but warm connections will. Everyone knows where their best friends works, but someone like a roommate from college who is at a different job since you last spoke is a warm connection that will definitely help if asked," says BranchOut's spokesperson, Kai Fortney. "Friends want to help their friends succeed, and BranchOut wants to foster these connections."
