How to Apply for a job on Facebook

Nowadays many companies advertise jobs on Facebook. Facebook is becoming a great resource for recruiters to find suitable candidates as well as for candidates to apply for jobs. Even we use Facebook for job advertisements. But we constantly face the same problem when we advertise a new job its that the candidates don't know how to apply for a job on Facebook? So here I am writing down the Step By Step procedure to apply for a job on Facebook in a hope that candidates will benefit from this and so do we.

Step1: The advertisement is released


As soon as a company advertises a new job read the position and key requirements(if any) carefully. Ensure no payment is to be made (the UAE law prohibits payments for CV registration)






 
Details of job



Step 2: Click on the APPLY button


DO NOT APPLY but commenting “Interested”. It shows an easy way out and tells the recruiter they must do more work in your job application than you. Most likely, your comment will not get a reply.

Apply for a job by clicking on the "APPLY NOW" button. When you click on the button you will be redirected to that job page which will have all the details of that particular job.

You can decide who can view your Facebook profile - Public or selected few or private. Depending on what you chose, this choice will also be able to view your education qualifications and work experience.


Step 5: Send the application

The last step is to click on the SEND button to finally submit the Application and to wait for the recruiters to respond.


The effort you put into completing a Facebook Job Application or as a matter of fact any job application tells a lot of the effort you put into everything including your work. You want to give this impression to the hiring managers and recruiters that you are serious about the job.

Applying for a job with the comment “Interested” is a BIG NO. Incomplete job applications can warrant immediate rejection. Put in 100% in every job application irrespective of the result (which you cannot control). But hard work and a desire to succeed always pay off…ALWAYS.
