2. Signing
In
Go
to
Twi(er.com.
Enter
your
Full
Name,
Email
Address
and
a
password
Recommend
you
make
a
password
decently
complex,
with
one
capital,
alphanumeric
and
1
character/
number.
Twi(er
can
been
hacked
if
you
have
a
very
simplisDc
password.
Want
to
make
a
men*on
about
your
email
address.
You
may
want
to
consider
seFng
up
a
dummy
or
social
media
only
email
outside
of
your
corporate
or
personal
email
address.
I
have
found
direcDng
all
social
media
and
email
updates
into
a
secondary
email
address,
such
as
willgladhartsm@gmail.com
keeps
one
from
being
overloaded
with
the
barrage
of
updates,
news
and
changes
every
minute
in
Social
Media.
Keeping
your
primary
business
email
Inbox
unclu(ered
really
helps
determine
what
is
important
and
a
non-­‐important
read.

3. Signing In, Twitter Home Page
This is also the page you will return to unless you click the “remember
me” checkbox under your username.
Once you have clicked “remember me” you will automatically go to your
Twitter home page each time you type in “Twitter.com”

4. Twitter Verification Screen

validaDng
an

address,
checking
your
password
and
assessing
if
your

username
is
available.
You

change
the

recommend
keeping

simple.

Follow
Step
When

7. Networking Via Email Suggestion
Highly recommend completing this step. You
can
synchronize
your
various
email
accounts.
You
do
not
have
to
complete
this
step
and
can
return
to
it
later,
but
this
step
will
verify
other
fellow
Tweeters
you

book,

8. Accepting Twitter Email Conformation

10. Twitter Home User Page
On this page you will see a “Get Started” section to the right hand side
of the page.
First, you will want to visit item No. 3 ‘Set Up Your Profile’ to create
your job seeker’s profile.
10

11. Twi(er
User
Profile
Page
Blank
Here’s
where
you
can
upload
your
professional
headshot,
a
link
to
your
VisualCV.com,
website,
blog
or
LinkedIn
profile
and
add
a
short,
160
character
descripDon
about
yourself.
11

12. Twitter User Profile Page, With Info
If
you
are
a
job
seeker,
put
a
descripDon
of
the
exact
Dtle
you
are
seeking
and
the
type
of
company
you
are
seeking
employment
with.
Otherwise,
put
something
relevant
to
you
or
the
company
you
work
for.
Again,
if
you’re
sDll
working,
yet
prospecDng,
take
care
because
people
will
find
of
follow
you.
You
also
have
the
opDon
of
posDng
your
Tweets
to
your
personal
FB
page.
I
do
not
recommend
linking
to
FB,
your
personal
friends
may
become
highly
annoyed
if
you
are
in
a
chat
session
and
there
are
20+
Tweets
on
the
FB
wall
in
30
minutes.
Overload!
Note:
If
you
are
going
to
use
Twi(er
exclusively
for
job
searching,
do
not
bother
doing
through
the
seFng
up
the
picture,
‘descripDon
of
you’
process.
If
you
are
going
to
Tweet,
parDcipate
in
chats,
then
set
up
the
enDre
profile.
You
have
opDons
of
choose
a
background,
determining
if
you
want
mobile
text
alerts
and
modifying
other
opDons
to
your
account.
I’ll
leave
those
for
you
to
explore.

13. Twitter Job Seeker Profile, Home Page
The complete, basic profile look. Prepare to Tweet!
13

14. WGC Professional Business Profile Example
Note: Many people ask about having a Twitter “custom background.”
Reality, unless you are a designer or programmer, do not bother or
spend money having one of these custom backgrounds created.
Typically, the user cannot view the custom page because of Twitter’s
continued changes to the format and layout.
Keep it simple with a basic Twitter user profile.

15. TweetDeck Tweet Stream Platform

HootSuite Tweet Stream Platform

16. Seesmic Tweet Stream Platform
http://www.seesmic.com
Seesmic is a little more robust than TweetDeck in terms of streamed
content. If you are not a full scale Social Media Marketing or tools user,
this platform might be a little overwhelming than you want. Seesmic
allows the user to populate Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn feeds as well
as CheckIn streams like FourSquare or Gowalla.
Pretty much anything that is online and has a social media or RSS feed
is game.
