Twitter Job Search - Wow, Fast!

Everything centers on you with social media. In a sense, as you become the searchable item.

Some people call these techniques social branding, but it doesn't really matter what it's called - you just have to learn how to use it - if you're looking for a job.

One thing social media eventually teaches you is that in a digital world, the traditional résumé becomes a search-engine-in-reverse - because you have to fill your résumé with the correct key words and terminology - or hiring managers will never find you.

Using key words in Twitter job search engines.

• Go to Twitter's Advanced Search Engine.
• Place a hash mark (#) in front of a word or words that describe the type of work you are looking for (Twitter refers to these combinations of hash marks and words as hashtags).
• In the Mashable video (below), the key words "#greenjobs" are used to illustrate the search. In the screen shot of the actual Twitter Advanced Search Engine site (also below), "#socialmedia jobs" is used - feel free to use either to do a test search.
• Scroll down to the calendar and select a period of time (the video suggests 3 days).
• Click on the box that says Containing Links.
• Click on Search.
• A list of possible jobs appear.
• It's a real search engine, so there are other things you can select to refine your search - Language, Places on the planet - like that.

Please be sure to watch the rest of the Mashable video for more ways to leverage this type of job search - because it's fast, cool, and actually works.
