Facebook Legal Recruiting
Even in these troubled economic times, there are law firms that are recruiting.
And a new style of recruitment involves the ever-popular Facebook. For example, last year, the international firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle put a recruitment page on the social networking site. The page appears devoted to the firm’s Summer Associate Program. This week, another firm, Munsch Hardt, followed suit with their recruitment page. They only have six fans so far, but I am sure things will pick up.
And hey, I too have a Facebook page, although I am not recruiting..
Online networking is a strange thing. When I first played with Facebook a bit, I spent my time finding other people I actually know in real life, and “friending them.” And a few such people found me, too. And then it snowballed. I was being “friended” by people I never met. However, I was assured that they have friends in common with me – sometimes they have many friends in common with me. So I “confirmed.”
It lets me enjoy an illusion of popularity. I just ignore the fact that, according to Facebook, I now have more friends than actual acquaintances.
If only bank accounts worked this way.
