Q: 

Importing Facebook data (education and experience) from facebook

Hi,

I want to allow users to import their Facebook education and experience entries into a job board site. Something like this site does http://www.jobster.com/at/person/edit_profile (see the FB icon on the right, under the sign in form)

Do they simply use the good old FB Connect to achieve that or is it something else?

A: 

Have a look at the extended permissions

user_education_history and user_work_history are what you're looking for.

Yeah, I know about them, I worked with FB connect before. It's just when I connected to the site above, I didn't notice any questions like "the site requires additional permissions, is it ok to grant them?". But actually I could have overlooked that question. FB is acting up right now so I'll reconnect my profile later and will try to find anything about permissions when I connect to that site.
