Twitter Etiquette Tips for Job Seekers

2009 April 18

Twitter etiquette tips for job seekersTwitter is a wealth of information. Today, Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable, (also known as @mashable on Twitter) sent a tweet with a link to a blog post containing 50 Terrific Twitter Tips for Job Seekers.

I am sharing the blog post as the content is valuable and relevant for any person looking for a job on Twitter. The tips are divided into five categories: Branding, Networking, Etiquette, Tools, and People to Follow. Of course my eyes went directly to the etiquette section. I agree with all the etiquette tips and will add one additional etiquette suggestion.

Stay away from criticizing an organization or person(s) in tweets. I see this on occasion and sometimes the person gets the positive result they desire. On the flip side, it also leaves a lasting impression on your potential communication skills in an organization.

So, enjoy the 50 Terrific Twitter Tips for Job Seekers and good luck job hunting!

UPDATE  Job-Hunt.org recently published a list of 50+ employers recruiting on Twitter. As Twitter’s popularity increases I anticipate the list to grow.
