There’s Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and GooglePlus. Web 2.0 is alive and well with literally hundreds of options for people who are looking to social networking to give a boost to their professional interests. Well, while you weren’t looking… Or quite possibly as you stood there and watched, the leaves of a “new” professional network started showing up all over Facebook. That network is called, BranchOut… and it’s leveraging your already existing social network on Facebook into a very powerful professional application.

“There are over 3 million job opportunities present today on BranchOut”, says Mike Del Ponte, overseer of PR, marketing and branding for BranchOut. “We can make a huge impact on the job crisis in America by leveraging the relationships (friends) you already have on Facebook”. And leverage is one thing that they do very well indeed at BranchOut. With a single button, Facebook users can sign up for the free service, and all of their employment, educational and other pertinent information is automatically imported – making registration simple for the user. You are now connected to the largest job board on Facebook, which happens to boast over 800 million users – 500 million of which log in every single day.

BranchOut is not just for job seekers and headhunters. Having a professional connection with your existing online friends reveals points of common interest that you not have been aware of. Similarly, if you want to be an effective resource for people coming to you for employment help, BranchOut offers a fabulous tool that can assist you in helping them. In a world where there is no shortage of social media options to keep our every waking hour occupied… It just might make sense to branch out to BranchOut.
