Twitter as a “Twool” in the Job Search
test
While Social Media platforms like LinkedIn have gained increasing popularity with today’s job seekers, many are still on the fence regarding Twitter. Not too long ago, I was one of those wondering if and how this tool might assist job seekers.

You are spot on. Using tools of social media to stay connected and also for practical uses like finding a job is an emerging trend. This is sure to continue as we globalize
Great post, Kevin!
Twitter can be a great way to enhance your job search, not to mention your network and your personal brand. Think about using Twitter’s new list feature, too, to categorize your network into personal and job/career related tweets to optimize your time and efforts!
