Weekends I like to encourage other peoples views and today's blog post was submitted by Lenore Holditch, who specializes in writing about top online colleges. It is a two part post - yesterday Lenore talked about how to find a job via Facebook and today Twitter.
Similar with Facebook, most companies will set up Twitter accounts and will tweet news regarding their company, including info about their products and services.
- If you already have your heart set on working for a particular company, your best bet would be to "follow" them and monitor all of their tweets—you never know when the company will alert their followers of a lucrative career opportunity.
- Just make sure that your expertise and other info is included in your bio (as well as a link to your LinkedIn account if you have one).
- Another option you have is to use the power of the hashtag. In the search box, type in the name of the company you would like to work for with the hashtag symbol (for example #AppleINC). This is because other individual accounts who you do not follow may post employment opportunities or inside scoop that the direct company does not announce.
- If you do not have any particular company in mind, you can also search for employment opportunities using the hashtag with general career titles. Try typing in #engineerjobs.
