Southern Maryland Internet Marketing via Social Media for Small Businesses

I recently started a Facebook page named Southern Maryland Jobs (http://www.facebook.com/southernmarylandjobs) as a way of giving back to community.  A big part of our business at Calvert Design Group is social media internet marketing in Southern Maryland (and nationwide).  I saw an opportunity to use a platform I was familiar with to help people who are in need of jobs.
