Are you jobless? Perhaps suffering from discouragement? Owed bills getting out of hand? Can you twitter your job resume in 140 characters or less? You just may tweet yourself to a job or new career. Here are four tips that may help you find work without having to go through the usual channel – a tedious process.
- Take time to regularly enlarge your network. Patience is required to build online relationships and you should be able to build your reputation a few minutes a day.
- Reaching out to a hiring person requires transparency. It is a give and take scenario. You want them to give you a position but you will need to give advise or expertise in what interests them. Don’t forget to let them know you are looking for work.
- Post updates regularly. Acknowledge those helping you and update your job search, whether good or bad. (We are living in a tough economy.)
- When it comes to your career objectives, be specific. List your skills and your interests. Job seekers who are successful have a way to share a quick picture of who they are, their expertise and how their talents will bring value to any employer of interest.
Employers do not have the time to read even a full page resume. Their position is very stressful, not knowing if they will have a job the next day. With 140 or less characters, use your words wisely – a foot in the door is all that is guaranteed.
