If you’re a professional or executive-level job searcher, you’ve probably read or been told that Twitter should be a part of your job search plan. But what does that mean? And how do you go about getting started on Twitter?
Twitter can seem like a tough environment to break into or get the hang of, but it’s really not. I had similar feelings last year before I started tweeting and now I’m hooked on the benefits and value of Twitter. Earlier this morning, I read a set of 25 tips on how job searchers can start networking on Twitter that I wanted to share with you my readers. I’m also going to start passing this link on to my clients as part of their job search plans, because this is the most comprehensive, value-added set of tips on using Twitter in a job search that I’ve seen in a long time. But then, I shouldn’t be surprised as it was written by Susan Britton Whitcomb, one of the authors of the recent book, The Twitter Job Search Guide (JIST, 2010) and Coaching Expert for the Career Thought Leaders Consortium, a careers industry think tank.
Follow this link to read Susan’s top 25 tips to start networking on Twitter. Take notes, heed her advice, and don’t wait much longer to get started.
Interesting list of tips. We have a checklist that can be downloaded showing how to setup a twitter account and use it professionally to enhance and help career prospects.
