You can Tweet a new job, authors claim
Can you keep your resume under 140 characters?
If so, you may be able to tweet your way into a new career, according to Susan Britton Whitcomb, Deb Dib and Chandlee Bryan, co-authors of “The Twitter Job Search Guide.”
The authors give these tips for your short and sweet, real-time job search:
Take the time to regularly expand your network and engage others.
Be transparent, but don’t just ask for a position.
Instead, give advice or demonstrate expertise on a subject that matters to them, and let them know you’re looking for work.
Be sure to post regular updates about your job search, and acknowledge those who are helping you along the way.
Be specific when it comes to your career objectives, skills, interests and your brand.
