More and more job seekers are searching for jobs using social media sites, and one of the most popular sites for job hunters is Twitter. Twitter not only has thousands of jobs going through their feeds everyday, but it is a great resource to learn about new companies that are hiring and new jobs that are opening. The trick to finding jobs on Twitter is to know how to look for them. Here are 3 ways to find jobs using Twitter.
Search the Hashtags (Hashtags is the # sign with a word next to it).
Probably the most obvious way to use Twitter to find jobs is to use the search box. You can search for terms with a hashtag like #Jobs and it will pull up many results that all have #Jobs in it. If you want to get more relevant results, you could always try refining your search and using #marketingjobs. Now you’ll only be pulling back tweets with the #marketingjobs hashtag in them. If you want to narrow it down even further, you can select the tab at the top of the feed that says Tweets with links. This will now only show you tweets that have #marketingjobs and a link pointing outside of Twitter. These links usually go to the job postings.
Search Google for Jobs on Twitter.
That sounds weird right? Search Google to find jobs being listed on Twitter? The nice thing about searching for jobs on Twitter with Google is that you can try to narrow the jobs down by postings that are supposed to be nearby you.
Search Google for Marketing Jobs on Twitter
Here’s what you do. Search for Marketing Jobs in Google. Then you click on the more button on the left to show more sorting options. One of those options is called Realtime. Realtime is a live feed of tweets being tweeted with the term you had searched. The next thing that you want to do is select nearby which is in the next section below Realtime. Now what you have is a live feed coming in of marketing jobs that are also nearby you. Google made it pretty easy to be able to sort through these and can help you to sort through and manage the thousands of tweets with jobs that are near you each day.
