Twitter for Your Next Job

Hello all! My apologies as I slacked off on this blog in the past few weeks. New clients, teething children, my new certification course (through Job Search Academy - to become a Certified Job Search Strategist, but more on that later) have been sucking up most of my time. I'm hoping to have a better handle on things by now.

But back to the message at hand . . . .

Recently, a client asked me about all the buzz on Twitter. How it's the new, hip, trendy way to find your next job. Of course, I've heard the buzz too and even read a few articles on the subject. Here are a few recommendations that I've received to help you get started on your Twitter job search path:

How to Begin Your Job Search With Twitter

And of course, check out TwitterJobSearch.com. I've been told it's still in beta. I checked it out, and I love the options to "retweet" or "follow" the job. It kind of looks like fun to me. And heck, we could all use a little more fun in the job search process, right?

We'll be talking more about the Twitter in the job search later, as I continue to learn more. Feel free to post about your experiences with twitter and how you have personally been utilizing this new "in" resource.

And of course, if you ever want to follow me (or want me to follow you) you can find me on twitter at https://twitter.com/JulieMendez.
