ces 5 Reasons Job Seekers Should use
Twitter1. Recruiting firms and job boards are great resources but with Twitter you can contact the employer directly
2. Twitter isn’t saturated with job seekers just yet, if
used correctly it can be another resource for jobs
3. Twitter is another channel for getting in touch with
the right people at the right time.
4. Create a Twitter network because if you have been ignoring this platform you can no longer afford to do so
5. Lastly go with what works – and Twitter is giving results.

Search Phrases
I used search phrase: “need web developer”
Search of several job aggregators showed this position wasn’t listed elsewhere – at least not without a time consuming search.
What does this mean to the job seeker? It means Twitter just might be the new “underground” for jobs— and with growing competition, uncovering unadvertised jobs would make job search easier.
