How Gen Y Uses Twitter to Job Search

Recent graduate, Amanda Hoffstrom, just posted a nice blog article about how she was skeptical about using Twitter as part of her job search but then read an article about 50 job search experts to follow on Twitter, followed them, and has found it helpful in her job search. One of those experts was the dude who posts career information to Twitter.com/StevenRothberg. Maybe you’ve heard of him.
Amanda wrote that “Twitter offers a quick way to stay connected to leaders in your chosen profession.” News organizations are just as important for her to follow as career experts. She also follows companies she’s interested in working for, previous employers, journalism and media job boards some friends. She’s founder that “once you start following someone, they often follow you back, and may respond to you if you post a question or solicit advice about looking for a job. If you follow the right people, you can also find job openings.” She has applied to positions via Twitter’s job search engine and through links companies post on their account.
