Let’s talk social media…do you friend you boss{es}?  What about co-workers?  Do you find yourself thinking twice before posting?

I’m an open book my Facebook page is all mine – it’s uncensored and full of my thoughts, ideas and bad language.  Okay, not always but if I feel like throwing down an *F*bomb, I’ll do it.  I’m not going to change who I am to please others.

I probably should use that handy blocking feature a little more.  Eh, well.

Now, there’s BeKnown, the professional networking app for Facebook.  Don’t worry, there’s a mobile version – available on both Android and iPhones.

Monster.com recently launched BeKnown, a professional networking app for Facebook. Since many professionals spend more time on Facebook than any other networking site, Monster wanted  to give people the opportunity to network professionally within the world’s largest and most popular social network. BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page (think along the lines of a network within a network). It also lets you conduct a job search of Monster’s database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company, job opportunity, or person they are interested in.

Don’t worry, there’s a mobile version – available on both Android and iPhones.

With a series of short videos that walk you through the different features of BeKnown, it’s obvious that it’s the go to application to maintain that professional network.
