Using Twitter to Find Employment

March 21, 2011 3 Comments

Hat tip to Bill Fischer for inspiring this post.

There is a growing trend of jobboards posting their jobs to Twitter. If you know how they work, you can search Twitter to find out about jobs the moment they are posted online. (Pretty cool, huh?)

Here are a few examples to consider:
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=jobsurl+product+manager
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=jobsurl+%22software+engineer%22
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=jobsurl++civil+engineer

Here is another search method for finding similar jobs
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tweetmyjobs+product+manager
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tweetmyjobs+software+engineer
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tweetmyjobs+civil+engineer

And one more for the road…
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=twithire+project+manager
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=twithire+software+engineer+
* http://search.twitter.com/search?q=twithire+civil+engineer

When I performed these searches, there were quite a few results. Since Twitter is a real-time search engine, the number of results you find maybe more or less (or none) of what I found. If you are dissatisfied with the results, I suggest trying again later in the day or tomorrow. Just sayin’…

Happy Hunting!

Jim
