SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--May 24, 2007--Jobster, Inc., today announced it has extended the Facebook Career Center powered by Jobster with Facebook Platform.

"This innovation by Facebook marks a clear leap forward in how people interact online," said Jobster CEO Jason Goldberg. "We can now help Facebook users further their careers in a much more seamless way."
"Facebook Platform creates an ecosystem for developers to build applications that integrate deeply into Facebook and use its social graph," said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. "By enabling developers to make applications within Facebook, we're working together to create a better utility for millions of people."
With Facebook Platform, Jobster now lets Facebook users tag themselves and their friends with words that describe their skills and experience. Jobster then suggests jobs that match those tags.
