Write A Twitter Résumé



In a recent post, John Walker, a job search expert, explained how to write an effective Twitter resume. Elements to be considered include:

Job Title - this is the title of the position you are currently seeking.

Location - use the #tag or Hashtag of the location where you want to work or where you want to relocate.

Link to Resume - you can link to your personal website, online resume or a social networking profile. Use a URL shortening service like Bit.ly or TinyURL to stay within the 140 character limit.

Use Hastags - hastags are a way for Twitter users to classify tweets and group them together. Examples of hastags that you should include in your Twitter resume are #needajob, #laidoff, #jobangels. A great resource for looking up hashtags being used is Hashtags.org.

TweetMyResume - post your resume on Tweetmyresume.com for added exposure.

ReTweets - ask your Twitter following to retweet your Twitter resume making it very viral!
