Five Methods I sed To Get A Job Through Twitter
Credit: The Twitter Survival Guide
There are five ways to leverage your use of Twitter during a job search. Instead of just using Twitter to respond to and connect with people when you have the time, start putting Twitter to work. Attend Tweetup events so that you meet interesting new people and can talk about new projects. By talking about new projects and thinking about how you can help others with them, you may be unable to unearth new opportunities. Even if Twitter doesn't lead to full-time job offer, it will enable you to find clients and explore new knowledge and training that is needed for a specific industry.
Going to Tweetups can be more than just a fun way to hang out with people — it can be one of the best ways to get people interested in your work. If you have an interesting concept, people may be willing to discuss possible joint ventures on new projects. Providing advice for free, such as through DM's with ideas for potential projects, is another way to spark interest. By working for free and providing stellar advice, you can soon develop a strong reputation. This works especially well for people building a portfolio. Make sure you get testimonials. You can do this by favoriting the tweets that compliment your work and by seeking LinkedIn recommendations.
