The White House Teams Up With Monster.com to Reach Out to Job Seekers

In the wake of the U.S. mid-term elections, the White House has turned to social media to get a feel for what aspects of the job market are of most concern to citizens.

Starting tomorrow, November 8, through Sunday, November 14, job seekers and members of the Monster.com community can head on over to Monster’s Facebook Page where they can pose questions to the Obama Administration with regard to America’s employment climate. The questions that get people talking and rack up the “Likes” will be answered by the White House, who will video tape responses and post them online.

This isn’t the first time the White House has used social media and the web to reach out to citizens — President Obama has, in the past, answered user-submitted questions on YouTube, and recently took questions via Twitter during a hour-long youth town hall event that aired on MTV, BET and CMT.

This initiative, however, is interesting in that it goes directly where the interested parties are congregating — a site devoted to attaining employment.

1. Thanks, Clio. I have the link up on FB now, and even

asked a question. Sounds like a good idea, especially if they really answer questions, which I imagine they will. :thumbsup:
