Facebook wants to win users the office world. Therefore, the company is working on a business social network to compete among others with LinkedIn.
This was explained by the Financial Times Monday based upon anonymous sources.

"Facebook at Work would make it possible to chat with colleagues and friends as well as professional acquaintances. The business network would more or less look the same as the current Facebook site, but the personal photos and status updates of users would remain invisible to business contacts.

Facebook would also work on a way to edit documents together. This would be the social network competition of Microsoft Office and Google Docs.

The first companies are already testing the business version of Facebook. According to the Financial Times, there are no plans to charge for these service. The business network would be seen as a way to get people to spend more time on Facebook, and thus allowing for more adverts to be shown.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
