Tweeting and Job Searches

In a recent post on CNNMoney, Daniel Bortz reports that many job recruiters are now researching potential new employees on social media. As he writes:

"If you want to shine in a competitive workforce, take to Twitter. Nearly 95% of recruiters surveyed by software firm Jobvite used or planned to use social media to find and vet candidates last year."

Twitter allows you to quickly build a social media presence, since tweeting is often quicker than creating other social media content, such as lengthier blog posts.

However, as Bortz states, there are some best practices when using Twitter to build an online presence. Specifically, he lists the following:

• Perfect the profile
• Follow the right crowd
• Tweet with value
• Pay it forward
