How would YOU like to Facebook and Twitter for a living? It could happen, as more and more companies, large and small, begin to post recruiting announcements  for online community managers and blogging staff.

Sounds cool, right? Well, not so fast. After analyzing a few recruiting adverts for social media staff positions, online community expert Amber Neslund points out that many companies are missing the mark when it comes to recruiting and hiring social media staffers. Read her insight here.

My question is this; if they miss the mark in recruiting and hiring, how on earth are they going to implement a social media plan?

Not all is deficient on this front though. Amber points out in this follow-up post that some enlightened companies understand that social media staffing is in its infancy, and that growing pangs could parallel social media growth and presence.

How about you? Do you think you have the social media chops to apply for one of these positions? Let’s hear about it in the comments.
