Top 3 Reasons to use Twitter in your job search
The Top 5 Reasons to use Twitter
1) Higher Google Ranking-Each "tweet" is treated by Google as an individual web page. This means that if you use your first and last name as your Twitter Username ie. JenHillJHCCS, then you will automatically rank higher on Google the more often you tweet. This is important because employers are constantly "googling" potential employees to see what they can find out. This helps, especially if you are tweeting about something related to your profession or industry.
2) Company Research-Twitter is a very easy way to connect with people you might otherwise never get a chance to know. For example, you could begin to follow people within a certain organization you are interested in getting hired at. By following these employees, you can easily glean important information about the potential employer to help you get an interview and/or to find out if this is really the type of company you would like to work for.
3) Follow Trends-Twitter is an excellent tool to keep up on trends in your industry and breaking news. Almost instantly, you can see what topics are trending and what breaking news is happening in your field. An example of how this could be useful in a job search would be to check Twitter prior to an interview, and see what topics are trending. Then when you are in the interview, you will have some interesting ice-breakers to share and will appear to have your finger on the pulse of what is happening in your profession.
