How to use Twitter for job search

1. Using Twitter for Employability
Some examples of how and why
students should be using Twitter to
help them get a job!

2. 1) Employers use Twitter to advertise
jobs and voluntary opportunities.

So follow any organisation you would be interested in working for!

3. 2) University lecturers advertise
scholarships and post-grad opportunities.

So follow academics from University departments where you
might be interested in further study. Seeing what they tweet
about might also be helpful in an interview!!

4. 3) Twitter keeps you up to date with
developments in recruitment policy.

5. 4) Learn about an organisation’s
response to key policies.
And let them send you links to the
original policy documents!
