4. TWITTER Biography
From a professional perspective, make it clear exactly what it is
that you do. This helps differentiate you from others with similar
bios. Don't just state you're in a sales role, mention the industry
in which you work. If you're a recruiter, what kind of candidates
are your specialty? Do you work in marketing? Which industry
sector?
Your Twitter bio should position you as an expert in your field
who serves a specific audience. The problem is that most
people position themselves as generalists or 'Jacks-of-all-
trades,' and that won't work in this economy.
Your Twitter profile picture helps instantly identify you to those
following you -- and tells those who aren't more about you.

11. Why use Twitter
Twitter isn’t the first social network someone typically thinks about
when applying for a job, but it does have some unique advantages
over other social platforms. The lack of barriers to connect with
thought leaders was one of the most-mentioned advantages during
the live chat.
Twitter’s openness makes it a useful platform for showcasing your
talents, personality, style, and interests. Recruiters can get an idea
of who you are, and if you would be a good fit at their company. It’s
not just transparency of candidates, but companies as well.
It is great for connecting meaningfully with people and companies
you don’t already know, which is much more difficult to do on
platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn. You can develop a
rapport with people you may not have access to in real life.
It’s easier and more convenient for a recruiter to reply to your tweet
than to pick up the phone. Twitter facilitates quicker responses.

13. To uncover companies using Twitter, Search then #
and input one or more of the following keywords

manager)
Talent Recruiter
Staffing
Jobs
Hiring
Opportunity’s
Having an online presence whether it is a blog, through
social networks, having a social presence with links to
your work to supplement your resume definitely enhances
your offerings as a candidate. You want to have a digital
presence on the web — you want recruiters to be able to
find you."

16. Who to Follow On Twitter
I used search phrase:
Follow the industry you are
interested in, and participate in
communities you care about
Use Twitter as a jumping-off
point to your more detailed
online profiles — LinkedIn
profile, for example.
Many companies have job-
related Twitter handles.
Following those is a great way
to keep tabs on job openings,
rather than searching the
company's website.
It’s easier and more
convenient for a recruiter to
reply to your tweet than to pick
up the phone. Twitter
facilitates quicker responses.
