Twitter.  It is in the news just about every day.  At seminars, workshops, and networking meeting job seekers are advised to add a Twitter strategy to their job hunt marketing plan. Yet it seems that most people don’t really have any idea how to strategically use the technology to better their chances of landing a job.

Instead of tweeting about your morning trip to Dunkin Donuts develop a strategy that compliments your job seeking goals.  The best place to start on that strategy is to find knowledgeable resources that can educate you on the best uses of Twitter.  A former NEJS blog contributor, Marci Reynolds, has recently written and released an eBook that can act as a guide as you move into the Twitter world.

Although there are many books in circulation covering how to use Twitter for business this new eBook,  “How To Use Twitter For Your Job Search” , is one of the few resources dedicated to the unique needs of job seekers.

The eBook covers topics such as increasing your online visibility (SEO) with Twitter, finding real time job postings on Twitter, connecting with recruiters on Twitter and creating and implementing your tweet content strategy.  For a better idea of what the book covers View the Table of Contents.

“How To Use Twitter For Your Job Search” is available now for immediate download for just $5.00, with secure PayPal processing.  You can also buy a Kindle version from Amazon.com.

I’d like to share my tips on Building a Tweet Content Strategy For Your Job Search.

When I discuss using Twitter with job seekers one of the most common objections I hear is, “I don’t know what to Tweet about.” As a result, many job seekers are not using Twitter.

As you probably know, Twitter is one of the most popular, social networking websites on the Internet and more than 20 million people visit Twitter every month. These visitors include hiring managers, human resources and recruiters that work for the companies that you want to work for. So.. I recommend that every Job Seeker use Twitter.

In an earlier blog post, I reviewed 5 ways job seekers can use Twitter for their job search. Today’s post will provide tips on the actual Tweet publishing; what to write about, where to get ideas and how often to publish them.  This is often called a Tweet content strategy.
