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
