Tweeting May Land You a Job
With the popularity of social networking websites these days, it is no surprise to see people try to use them for their own benefits. According to a newspaper article I read, big companies are looking to hire tweeters who are on the social networking site, Twitter. Why?
These companies want social media experts who can manage Twitter, Facebook, and similar sites for them. One of the big companies following this trend is Coca-Cola; a social media director for the company believes this networking strategy can help businesses build customer rapport, increase positive sentiment, and correct misinformation.
This seems like a good idea. By hiring tweeters, big companies are saying that they don’t mind using modern technology to communicate with people, which could lead to an interest in their products and/or services, and bring in more customers. At the same time, this idea could create entry level job opportunities for anyone interested in social media.
