Twitter can be a useful tool for job searching, and not only for networking. It also provides candidates with a vehicle for demonstrating their skills and displaying their personalities. "People get hired for who they are, not just what they do. Your digital footprint is your resume," said Susan Whitcomb, president of the Career Coach Academy.
The constant drumbeat of bad economic news didn't stop Jennifer Cloud from pursuing a job in her chosen field of interactive marketing . Armed with a degree in communications and a desire to learn new technologies, she started using Twitter.
"I was wondering if the resumes I was blindly submitting online were launched into a vortex," Cloud said. "With Twitter you meet people at all levels of management and get an opportunity to present yourself as a person rather than a piece of paper."
