They are fun to read and they help to visualize and express the facts and figures that they are dealing with.

Opportunities to find a job are everywhere on Twitter. Getting these jobs takes some different tactics than traditionally. Resume’s are becoming less important as the importance of a solid social media community continues to increase.

In this article I cover 10 tips that will help you find a job with Twitter by identifying more job opportunities and positioning yourself as the best person for the job.

1. Start a #HireMe Campaign

Let your followers know you are on the hunt for a new job.

Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date and send a tweet sharing your profile link.

Tweet valuable resources and do your best to help your audience out. You can help people in your Twitter network by sharing their content, recommending them, and helping them build buzz about content they are sharing.

If you have helped others they will feel inclined to reciprocate the helpfulness, so when they see that you are on a #jobhunt they will be more likely to help you out if they can.

2. Use Job Hunting #Hashtags

Send a tweet asking if anyone knows about new opportunities in your niche.

You can use #hashtags to let people know you are doing a #jobsearch.

Job Listings:

You can find general job advice and lots of listings through hashtags like #jobs, #recruiting, #jobadvice, #jobposting, #jobhunt and #jobsearch.

To narrow it down seek out more specific hashtags, such as or #prjobs or #salesjobs.

Job-Related and Industry Chats:

Getting involved with industry chats is a way to show your industry in a particular field and represent yourself as a knowledgeable person.

Also, if your search isn’t going so well, get involved in job-related chats, such as #jobhuntchat, #careerchat, and #hirefriday for friendly advice.

3. Build a Strong Network

A lot of successful Twitter job stories actually end with the punchline, “I wasn’t even looking for a job.”

The stronger your network is the more of a reason there is for employers to hire you, if you are willing to tweet on behalf of your employer.

4. Connect with Recruiters

Using the Twitter Marketing software TweetAdder I did a search for any Twitter accounts with the keyword “recruiter” in their bio.

The search returned: 5425 people with the word “recruiter” in their bio.

A bio search is not the only way to use TweetAdder to build connections, you can also follow all people on Twitter list, or people who have recently tweeted a keyword or phrase you want to target.

To discover how to use TweetAdder for maximum effect check out this TweetAdder networking success guide.

5. Optimize Your Bio

Include a link to an online CV or resume in your bio.

Make it clear that you are seeking employment and taking action to find a job. Let people know about the kind of position you are looking for.

Ask your audience to share your profile with potential employers and make it easy for people to contact you for more information.

Get your followers to connect with you on LinkedIn and take the time to create a complete LinkedIn profile.

6. Position Yourself as an Expert

Be a thought leader.

Speak your mind and back up your thoughts with facts.

Spark discussion with people who have large followings.

Insightful quotes and quality content are two tried and tested content marketing strategies that work very well for gaining recognition as an expert in your niche.

Having more followers also creates the perception of expertise. If you want more Twitter followers I recommend you check out these 50 innovative tips and the service Grow My Twitter Network.

7. Use a Twitter Job Search Engine

TwitJobSearch is one search engine for finding jobs on Twitter. Below you can see what it looks like.

Tweetmyjobs is another Twitter job search engine. This jobs search engine seems more enhanced than TwitJobSearch but requires that you sign up for a free account before they deliver any search results.

tweet-my-jobs

If these two tools do not give you what you are looking for a great place to look is Twitter’s advanced search engine. The nice thing about Twitter’s search engine is it makes it easy to search all tweets and focus in on the tweets that matter the most to you.

8. Start a Blog

If you own a successful blog this will be a clear indicator to any employer that you are a capable content marketer who could help create similar success for a prospective employer.

Having a blog also places you in the position of the expert and enables you to develop your voice while building trust with your audience as you deliver value.

blog-earth

9. Follow Job Search Lists & Accounts

The Twitter account @JobHuntOrg created a Twitter list with 180 members that all tweet about new job opportunities! Here is the link: https://twitter.com/JobHuntOrg/job-listings/

Another interesting list comes from @betterjobsearch and he describes the list as “Specialists in reporting, consulting and for job seekers, listings, job fairs.” This Twitter list has 476 members. Here’s the link: https://twitter.com/betterjobsearch/job-guru-career-work

10. Take the Conversation Offline

Once you have established a connection with a recruiter or employer who has a job offer you are interested in the next step is to take your conversation to the next level with a call.

Connect on Skype or get a phone number and set up a phone interview. Often there are multiple interviews but sometimes if the interview goes well enough that might be all you need to get the job!

Keep calm when your interview is on

According to Scott Rosenfield of Men’s Health “when it comes down to two equal candidates, employers hire the guy they'd be more likely to hang out with.”

So don’t take yourself too seriously.

Keep a calm and friendly attitude in your interview and it will pay off if you are up against uptight competition.

Build a #Powerful #Twitter #Network

Quinn Robbins

Having a million followers means nothing if none of them pay attention to you.

The more responsive you can make your Twitter list the more valuable it will be for you to spread your tweets.

With a responsive Twitter list you can get many more retweets, and you will develop an audience that is more likely to engage and interact with your content.

A more responsive audience means that your content will get more shares, and more comments, and achieving your online goals will become easier overall.

If you want a more responsive Twitter list the following 10 tips will help you achieve that goal:

1. List People Often

A "follow" does not have the significance it once used to. For people who have thousands of followers a single new follower may or may not be important, especially since there are many marketers who use Twitter Marketing Software to auto-follow people.

Twitter lists, on the other hand, are usually hand picked by people. People are more likely to pay attention if you list them.

If you want to make sure you get the attention of the person you are listing tell them you added them to one of your lists!

The more you list, the more the law or reciprocity will kick in and cause others to list you back. List and be listed.

2. Tell your Facebook Friends about Twitter

On Facebook you can let your friends know that you are on Twitter in a variety of ways. The more ways you tell your Facebook friends you are on Twitter, the better your odds are of getting them to follow you.

You can post a status update saying: Are you on Twitter? If so post your user name below and let's connect there as well! When I posted status update like this it got huge response from my friends and helped me build deeper connections with my network.

Another way you can tell people you are on Twitter, without directly saying so, is to import your tweets using a Twitter application, like Selective Tweets. Selective Tweets automatically imports tweets with the hashtag #fb.

Another thing I do on Facebook is include a link to my Twitter account in the "Websites" section of my info tab.

3. Connect with Your Existing Contacts

Using the Find Friends feature of Twitter you can quickly connect with your friends who are already on Twitter.

As you can see from the image above there are about five different ways that you can find your friends on Twitter.

4. Follow Highly Targeted people

By following highly targeted people on Twitter you greatly increase the chance that they will follow you back.

One strategy I use to build highly relevant connections is to use TweetAdder to follow everyone on a Twitter list.

You can learn more about TweetAdder here, or check out my video review of TweetAdder.

5. Unfollow Unnecessary People

The more inactive and irrelevant people you can unfollow, the better.

Why follow people who have not tweeted in a month, or who use the default Twitter avatar?

The free tool Manage Twitter makes it easy to unfollow people who do not follow you and have not tweeted in 30 days or more, or taken the time to change their default profile picture.

6. Engage With Your List!

Getting people to follow you is really just the first the first step in connecting with them. The real connections happens through conversation, and engagement.

Retweet your followers and reach out to them, and they will be more likely to do the same for you.

If you look at many of the Twitter Giants like @BrianSolis or @ChrisBrogan you will notice that many of their tweets are conversational, and this is why their networks are so powerful.

People are much more likely to pay attention to you if you pay attention to them.

7. Be a Trust Agent

I'm not saying don't have a business, I'm just saying it's going to work out best for you if you do not sell directly with your tweets.

Try to build trust with the people you interact with, and if you do this they will consider your products and services on their own.

8. Time Your Tweets for Maximum Response

There is a cool Twitter Tool that I recently came across called buffer that simplifies this process. When you add a tweet to your puffer it will automatically schedule at pre-determined time.

Buffer streamlines and simplifies tweeting, and you can have up to ten tweets in your buffer for free.
