Twitter as a Job Search tool

December 15th 2008 in Uncategorized

After watching a thread on the techwr-l-job-s list I decided to post this.

Twitter is a great tool for Job Hunting. (No, I’m not on a search…)

1. Create a Twitter account (a “professional” twitter account)
2. Link it to your “professional” Web Site.
3. Set up an account at http://www.tweetbeep.com
* This Site allows you to create Alerts on Twitter set to specific keywords (e.g. Technical Writer)
* Create several using many variations
4. This will deliver keyword alerts to your email.
5. Don’t forget to use your Twitter account! Follow, link posts, etc.

You will see job listings come through Twitter, you’ll create new networks, you’ll get visits to your Site. All of which will help your search.
