Twitter yourself a new job

Twitter.com is immensely popular and attract people from all businesses. Wall street Journal and Mashable both investigate the possibilities of finding a new career using Twitter. The main thesis in both articles is to build a personal brand and connect your Twitter account to your other digital presence.  This mainly applies to jobs in media, IT and PR industry but I believe there is a strong possibility for people looking for financial jobs or other analytical roles to be successful here.

Make your Twitter account into a living resume, that displays your positive work characteristics.

Mashable sums it up:

  • Put your job pitch in your Twitter bio (which is 160 characters)
  • Use a professional looking avatar
  • Tweet about your job search
  • Utilize your Twitter background
  • Include a link to an online CV or resume in your bio
  • Establish yourself as an expert
