Could Twitter become the latest tool for job seekers?

Have you ever thought about using Twitter as a way to find a job? Many people believe that it could be the latest untapped resource for job seekers as more traditional ways of finding a job become less effective.

Firstly, many employers want to keep recruitment costs down, especially in todays world and Twitter allows them do do just that. What is the harm of using both recruitment firms and contacting your potential employer directly?

With the latest unemployment figures saying that 2.58 million people are unemployed in the UK, job seekers need to find new and imaginative ways to stand out from the crowd, and Twitter could help you. Very few job seekers are using Twitter as a tool yet and it could help you uncover the job you are looking for, so why not get ahead of the game.

Twitter could give you direct access to a possible employer, very few traditional job seeking tools can do this. However, the nature of Twitter does mean that your potential employer would need to follow you too for there to be direct communication between the two of you. That isn't to say that you can't create a network using Twitter, after all, thats what it is designed to do. Networking is one of the best ways to find a job. 

There are many businesses already taking advantage of Twitter as a resource, it won't be long before more and more companies use Twitter to attract the professionals they want.
