Facebook invades LinkedIn
Social networking site Facebook has tested a new feature that allows users to post jobs and receive jobs from candidates. This is considered an extension that will overrun Microsoft's LinkedIn.

Job opportunities will also show up in the Jobs bar of Page. Businesses will have the added benefit of receiving more new followers or candidates who will be looking for positions. This will increase the amount of online interaction.
Businesses can also pay to display more job information. This is a feature that will compete directly with some of LinkedIn's advertising services but the opportunity for Facebook will be greater by the very popular FB, with large amounts of personal data and participants.
Currently LinkedIn has 467 million users, while Facebook has 1.79 billion. Unlike Facebook, however, LinkedIn users rarely visit personalized profiles and update regularly. This is not a small advantage for Facebook.
