Twitter is not the first social media that we thought about when looking for a job, but it definitely has some advantages compared to other social media. The best example is probably the fact that you can connect with virtually anyone.
Because Twitter is such an accessible social media, you can put your talents, personality and interests forth. Recruiters can have a better idea of who you are, and whether you fit with their company.
Twitter lets you connect with people and companies that you didn’t know which is a lot harder on platforms such as Facebook & LinkedIn.
Twitter eases up the exchanges: a recruiter will find it a lot easier to answer a tweet rather than pick up the phone.
Recruiters know that if they hire you, they will benefit from your network. Make sure to build yourself a decent network beforehand.
How to find a job using Twitter
Make sure you follow the sector in which you would like to work, and interact with the communities you are interested in.
Do not simply retweet what people say; create unique contents that might interest people. Be an opinion leader.
Use Twitter to connect your business networks together and win visibility. Put links pointing to your blog or your LinkedIn profile in your bio.
Many companies have Twitter account dedicated to their careers opportunities: follow them. It’s a great way to keep an eye on job offers, rather than go directly on the company’s website.
Build your network before needing it; engage conversation with people who do your job dream.
