Myspace-esque

I saw this coming from at least a mile away, but probably further than that. Take a social networking site, and turn it into a site aimed at job-seekers and employers. The new site will concentrate on the high end contractors for mostly tech/consulting jobs, but the concept is excellent and could easily be developed into a college job site. Someone out there that has sufficient web programming skills, get on this, and get paid. Can you imagine logging on to job-Facialbook (that's what I would call it, real original), having networking groups you could join, posting your interests onto an employer's wall, connecting with others interviewing for the same company, and applying for jobs directly through the site. Keep all of the scams, crappy jobs, and jobs for those with 5+ years of experience off of the site and it would be golden. The job boards are flooded with non-college grad jobs and are inefficient to search and filter, and this would be a way to connect potential candidates directly with logically matched employers. I look forward to seeing one of you developing this bad boy, because it would benefit college students everywhere.
