If you are a fan of Myers-Briggs, the psychological testing that is commonly used by many employers, then you'll like this infographic that looks at the entire Googleplex and segments them into the 16 different categories. I was heartened to see that my type, ISTJ, is in the majority. Not surprising.
Searching for a job isn't easy these days: not only is the competition greater with more people out of work, but also employers are being pickier. And while social networks make connecting with potential hiring managers somewhat easier, there are still lots of different networks to choose from. Today the site Monster.com hopes to make life a bit easier by announcing a new tool called SeeMore that is designed for recruiters to use semantic search methods to collect resumes from a variety of sources, both internal databases as well as online ones.
SimplyHired.com, a job search site that aggregates job board postings and makes them searchable via one interface, is launching a new feature: Facebook integration. With the added opt-in functionality, you can see if any of your Facebook friends work at a particular company and you can pull a list of all the companies where your friends are employed.
And no, the headline is not as misleading as you think - engineers from Facebook actually helped SimplyHired build this feature in the hopes that it will showcase the power of the social network's new Open Graph platform and the usefulness it can provide when properly implemented.

At DEMO08, a new type of job web site launches today: PaidInterviews. Unlike today's traditional (ahem, boring) job sites like Monster.com or HotJobs, PaidInterviews combines social networking with a more sophisticated job matching algorithm to deliver a Web 2.0-style web site that will appeal to today's youngest career-seekers: Generations X and Y.
Orglex is a new semantic-web powered news, blog and job search engine with a social networking component and industry vertical focus. It's an interesting service that brings together a number of different approaches we've seen elsewhere to build something relatively new.
Semantic analysis of content makes topic focused search smarter than otherwise possible, and wrapping it in other value adds like blog and job search is a smart, solid play.
