If you have an open mind, you might be very surprised at the number and types of jobs available on twitter. I was talking to a recruiter recently and she said that when she gets a new professional position, the FIRST place she posts it is twitter. Why? Because it’s easy, it’s free and she knows that only people who ‘get’ social media will be looking there. Only people with updated skills know to look on twitter.
Remember, you don’t have to have twitter followers or follow anyone to search the powerful real time network. Go to twitter, find the search box and input any of the following:
- #jobs
- #jobsearch
If you are looking for a job by field input:
- #jobs #marketing
- #jobs #engineering
Or by type of position
- @juicyjobs – Green jobs
- @findinternships – Internships and entry level jobs for college students
- @freelance_jobs – Freelance jobs
- @heatherhuhman – Entry level jobs and internships
- @Project4Hire – Freelance and temporary jobs
