I was going to give Chris the benefit of the doubt, since his app does carry the <a href="”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_your_ass”" rel="nofollow">CYA </a> “BETA” badge, but upon further examination, the getthejob site that powers this tool returns the same 3 irrelevant results. Interestingly enough, these same 3 jobs carry the “featured” logo. If their model is similar to Indeed’s, this would be the equivalent of “sponsored” jobs. The same search on either Indeed or Simply Hired actually return relevant sales manager jobs in their sponsored areas. It looks like this toy is going back to the toy-box. The term “sophomoric” comes to mind. ;) My search on Chris’ app returned 3 completely irrelevant results from the company Deloitte, when I performed a search for “sales manager” in “Philadelphia”.

The problem is that they want to be a uber cool Web2.0 company, but the people they sell to are in the corporate world. I am sure that most corporations expect that vendor company leaders and employees act professionally. If this is what they are releasing, imagine what they do not film Why would they videotape it in the first place?

Christian, I think people are afraid that the clip is "reflective of life inside Jobster." THAT is the issue.

We were kicking around ad ideas. Mostly we laughed at how silly our ideas were. We were "stepping out of the box" as they say. "Facebook is so yesterday" was never said. What you might be thinking of is an idea for an ad with the tongue-in-cheek theme of "Facebook is so over… now get a job." We poked fun at some of the Facebook functionality like pokes and writing on walls, etc. and at the end encouraged Facebook users to check out our Facebook app and find a job. We had lots of positive feedback from Facebook users - our target audience. It was lighthearted and fun, reflective of life inside Jobster. An early, unedited video that captured a few minutes of a brainstorm was mistakenly released. Stay tuned for our new Facebook app and our ad. Hey folks,

(It's totally useless--all full of click fraud soliciting and "models" looking for "dates.") When I went back today to look for a response--the post was gone! Video is still to be found on YouTube, though :) I am SO glad I don't work there. I was wondering this too–I had added a comment asking if they were going to clean up the jobster facegroup book.

It seemed like an odd choice of video given everything that's gone on there. I'm sure they meant it as a "ha ha, we're cool, we can laugh at ourselves" type video, but whoever thought that the general public would think the same made a serious error in judgment.
