By now, as the latest batch of graduates embark on a new career, they are about to discover that social media is not just a tool to interact with friends and family members, or a place to get updates on their favorite sports teams, TV series, and artists, among other things. It has also become a viable option for job hunt efforts.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2009 poll released by US-based placement firm Challenger, Gray &amp; Christmas, the second-most effective tool in finding a new job is another type of networking \u2013 through the use of sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The new graduates here in the Philippines are most probably great acquaintances with all three, as these folks belong to the age 15-24 group and appear to be the biggest consumers of information technology, according to the 2014 findings by the Demographic Research and Development Foundation (DRDF) and the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI).<\/p>\n<p>Today, let\u2019s delve on how Twitter can be useful for job seekers.

Feature a link to your own website, LinkedIn account, or online portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tweet_enticing_content\"><\/span><strong>4. Tweet enticing content<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When followers see your bio and latest tweets as they peruse your Twitter account, it is advisable that the tweets they will view are substantial and provide a connection to content, services, and pursuits you want to be linked to.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Consider_a_static_tweet\"><\/span><strong>5. Consider a static tweet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Establishing a static tweet can act in a signature-like capacity as it stays at the top of your Twitter stream. In a nutshell, the tweet can capture your personal brand through the use of suitable and highlight-worthy material such as a blog post or an article where you served as a resource person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Find_and_follow\"><\/span><strong>6.

Diversify your tweets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Variety is the spice of life. Same goes for your tweets.

Cater to their tastes consistently.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Tweet_with_gusto\"><\/span><strong>10.
