Twitter: How To Use It For Your Job Search

February 24th, 2010

Marci Rynolds Cover Page Book

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.

Twitter: 30 Tweet Ideas

February 5th, 2010

By Jackie Simmonds, Blog Editor

Jackie SimmondsSo you have bought into the social media thing; your profile is polished and up on LinkedIn, your Facebook page has been appropriately tweaked, and you are moving on to Twitter.  And then you draw a blank.  What on earth can you tweet about several times a day that will interest your followers, gain you new followers, and show that you are a thought leader?

Newbie twitter block is a common occurrence when you are first starting out.  You haven’t found your rhythm yet and it shows!  Don’t worry, when writers block strikes turn to an article that Heather Buckley wrote offering 30 tweeting ideas guaranteed to get the keys moving again.

1. Write helpful Tweets

At least half of your tweets should be an answer, a response, or some kind of communication or dialogue. Remember it’s about relationships.

2. Create a tweet when you upload a new blog post

Let everyone know what you are writing about, and make the tag line snappy. Next time you are wondering which links to click on in twitter ask yourself why you chose them, make a note then use the same technique.

3. Tweet other peoples blog posts

Every time you read something you think is interesting, useful or fascinating – tweet it.

4. Show you care

Often people let you know if they are having a bad day, say something supportive or cheering.

5. Be interesting

What do people want to read about? Look back over your tweets and make a note of the ones that got attention. to do this go to Topsy and type in your twitter name to find your most re-tweeted tweets. Alternatively type in another user  name and learn from their successes.
