“We’re announcing BeKnown’s Facebook integration as a new way for people to feature career updates and highlight their professional brand to help advance their career goals,” said Matt Mund, vice president of product management at Monster Worldwide. “People can now share customized activity back to Facebook specifically tailored to professional networking that goes beyond ‘liking.’ These new features give BeKnown members a better way to show a more complete story of who they are as a professional.”
