Twitter for Your Job Search: Ready, Set, Tweet!

Using Twitter to job search is one of the hottest topics in career transition today. With recruiters, companies and other groups tweeting thousands of jobs on a daily basis, Twitter must be embraced as part of a multi-tiered approach to career transition. We’ll discuss how to set up a Twitter account for job search, what those darn #’s mean, how to avoid pitfalls and how to maximize Twitter use to help you secure your next position.  Join us on Tuesday, September 24 at 7:00 pm in the Rotary Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road.
