Don’t underestimate the impact of leveraging social media platforms in pursuing the ideal job. While crafting your Twitter profile for job hunting, ensure it exudes professionalism and receives consistent attention.
Amidst companies’ generational transition, it’s remarkable how many decision-makers actively engage on leading social networking platforms such as Twitter. Tailor your approach to connect with this audience effectively through your Twitter profile.
A well-organized profile can streamline your job search process and broaden your application’s exposure. Capitalizing on Twitter’s worldwide accessibility opens doors to job opportunities worldwide.
Active and Passive Recruiters
The most successful method of getting a dream job is a multi-pronged approach targeting active and passive recruiters.
Active recruiters already have a list of positions they need to fill and are looking for new employees. Passive recruiters do not necessarily have positions they are looking to fill. Still, their interest can be stirred when they see someone who demonstrates knowledge and expertise that would be a good match for their company.
By creating a Twitter account, you can connect to both active and passive recruiters. Just like companies boost their brand online, so must a job seeker. Of course, this must be supported by posting well-informed posts demonstrating mastery and currency in their professional field.
Aim to have a conversation with recruiters instead of bombarding them with requests for a job.
Recruiters like someone they can talk to rather than someone who only asks for a job. Develop a strategy that is focused on building relationships with recruiters.
Think about covering a specific topic each week.
Share interesting, cutting-edge professional trade information. But as you develop your topics, ensure you are also fun to speak to. Remember that you are looking for a job. Recruiters want someone who demonstrates an ability to work well with others. Show a sense of humor, but be sensitive to the limits and boundaries of the people reading your posts. Achieving an emotional connection with recruiters will ultimately draw them to your credentials.
