So, you’ve just graduated and are looking for a “cool” job. OneCubicle might be just the place to find it.

OneCubicle is “an online social business network that bridges the gap between Facebook and LinkedIn.” Inspired a few years ago while updating his LinkedIn profile and watching an episode of NBC's "The Office," founder and CEO Gregg Champion recalls how the idea for OneCubicle came about. "I wanted to combine the professionalism of LinkedIn with the appeal of Facebook to create an engaging user experience that would be a true resource for young professionals and college students as they embark and grow their careers."

A few key features of OneCubicle, according to Champion:

1. Résumé Refiner. Send in your résumé, and one of OneCubicle’s senior executives will look it over, make fixes and send it back to you for only $9.95. You make additional notes, send it back to OneCubicle for one final look over and your résumé is good to go within a 48-hour period.

2. Corkboard. This provides a chance to showcase your personality by allowing you to upload widgets and giving you a chance to personalize your business and professional world. 

3. Interview do’s and don’ts. This provides you with simple, yet important, guidelines about how not only to interview well, but more importantly land the job.

4. Top ten rules. Gives insightful know-how on how to navigate the waters of the professional post-collegiate life with simple and straightforward advice handpicked and delivered by the OneCubicle CEO.

Aside from the Résumé Refiner, OneCubicle is entirely free.

Champion says plans for the future include celebrity mentors. “Weekly profiles on senior executives from multiple industries, which includes live chat with users who ask questions.”
