Getting A Job Through Twitter
There really are zillion ways to use these social networking sites. If you think Twitter is just a simple social networking site, think again. Somebody actually found a job through twitter. I’m not sure if I can mention the name but some of you has probably read her story. Anyway, she chose the right information to put in her profile, made some really interesting tweets, followed the right people or the right company and soon enough she got a job that even pays her more than her past job. I have to say she must be really smart to use this tweeting site the best possible way.
This social networking sites are really useful for job hunting. In twitter, I believe, you just have to be specific in your profile. Who are you and what you do best. You can search for the right people by keywords, then you follow them and usually, they follow back. Then you make some really interesting tweets about what’s on your mind or what you’re doing. Keep your tweets professional though but with personality. Don’t get too negative about your past experiences of your past jobs if your goal is to get a job. In this way, your followers can get an idea on what kind of person you are. Your viewers who are possibly employers will get an idea about what kind of an employee you are. Just be smart and strategic with your tweets. Whatever you write on that small space is very important. Every word of it.
You can also make friendly conversations with others who are also in the process of getting a particular job. It’s okay to ask them how they’re doing and maybe you can exchange ideas.
