CareerBuilder Facebook Fan Page Hit 5,000 Members

careerbuilder touts 5,000 facebook friends

Tue, Aug 26, 2008

Today on Facebook, CareerBuilder is touting the acquisition of its 5,000th friend.

CareerBuilder launched their page around March 2008, accompanied with advertising dollars and a nice chunk of buzz. If you’re scoring at home, that’s roughly 1,000 new fans per month.

The number seems a little low to us (although CareerBuilder’s VP of Consumer Marketing isn’t discouraged), but when compared to the competition - Jobing.com’s 58 fans since July and MonsterTrak’s 91 since, well, who cares? - maybe it’s not so bad.

By the way, we could always use more friends. Click here to join Cheezhead on Facebook.
