Although LinkedIn is still king, Twitter is up and coming among recruiters and hiring managers. Twitter should also be a medium you use
as part of your job search. There are many great tools available on Twitter to
enhance your job search, including searching for posted positions (http://www.twitjobsearch.com/ or
searching #jobs) or networking by connecting with employees at a target
company, Another great Twitter tool is Twellow,
a vehicle that allows you to search Twitter profiles.
There are eight main categories to search, with
subcategories in each. The categories include Recreation & Sports,
Entertainment, Society & Culture, News & Media, Health, Computers &
Technology, Government and Education. There are around 20 or more subcategories
under each listing. You can search for a company that you want to work for, or
can search people’s bios and URLs associated with their bios. There are
numerous career advice experts that can be found by using the directory, and
searching Employment > Career > Job Search. You may want to even find a
group from an industry you are interested in breaking into, and ask people in
that industry what they like about the industry, or how they broke in. Be
creative, and the possibilities are endless.
