The Opportunities Project and eBranding Me are joining forces to teach New York City job seekers how to use all the new tools available to them to achieve career success. Each seminar will focus on one particular tool that attendees can use to transform themselves into candidates sought after by multiple employers for their added value. The seminar series is called The Art of Pull because it focuses on a job search that attracts recruiters and employers to empowered candidates instead of the traditional method of simply applying to vacancy postings.
The third and final seminar, Achieve Career Success with Twitter, will focus on how to make the most of the micro-blogging service in relation to your job search. Topics discussed will include:
· how to create a successful Twitter bio
· how to use functions such as Reply, Direct Message, Re-Tweet, Hashtag to connect with the right people
· how to properly manage lists to stay organized
· how to participate in Twitter Chats to extend your network
