Navigating Twitter To Find A Job - Issue #38

Hey friend! I am finally unburying myself this week from speaking in Cincinnati and Arkansas back to back weeks. I hope you are enjoying your week! I’ve had a bunch of questions lately around how to use Twitter and Polywork (next week’s newsletter) on how to find a job. Twitter is it’s own crazy ecosystem so this is definitely more of a 101 type email newsletter. 

If  you want to check out this episode, it hasn’t dropped yet on my podcast, but you can find it on my youtube - https://youtu.be/KRSvEOjrVYE

To Recap - 

Banner cover photo, take advantage of this

• This is a way to endear yourself to your followers

• Bring something about you to your banner photo

Your profile picture is the very first impression people get of you

• Look happy…if you are moody and a hiring manager comes upon your profile they won’t want to hire a moody person

The bio description is very important

• Talk about who you are, what you do and what you tweet about

Location

• Enter this… a lot of times recruiters still want to know where you are located even if its a remote job

Single most important area of a Twitter profile is the Pinned Tweet

• Pinning a Tweet means it's the first one someone will see when they visit your profile

• Make sure you absolutely capitalize on this pinned tweet (check out my video I have on mine) no you don’t need a video but this is PRIME real estate 

Use lists in Twitter

• Lists help you to connect with the RIGHT people

• Helps you start connecting with folks in a community that are applicable to you

Posting

• Just start

• Be short but be frequent

• Be consistent

• Like and comment and interact

• Be engaged everyday 

• Hashtags – periodic use is sufficient

Thank you so much for reading through this! If this resonated with you, I would love for you to share it! Or just email me back saying you liked it:) 

Talk next week!
