- What do you think of when you hear the word Twitter/What do you associate with Twitter?How many people here have Twitter accounts?Today we’re going to talk about…What is Twitter?How does it work?How can it help you with your job search?Twitter is a form of micro-blogging.Twitter = sending and receiving messages from people all over the world, not just people whom you know.Why would you want to do this?There are a few reasons.-To get lots of information, quickly.-To get your message (“Hire me!”)-To connect to other people.Twitter is all about connecting with others.
- From lanceturner.wordpress.com:Do1) Decide on your Twitter goals and act accordingly – Decide early on why you’re on Twitter. Are you branding yourself, your company? Are you wanting to keep up with people, groups and news in your industry? Or are you on their for social reasons? Thinking through this will help you decide the types of things you broadcast on Twitter.2) Consider personal and professional Twitter profiles – This might seem ridiculous, but it’s common, and it helps you target your tweets to the appropriate audience. Services like TweetDeck allow you to easily manage multiple Twitter accounts, so personal items can go to one account, and more professional content can flow through another.3) Ask about any company social media policies and follow them – More and more companies in the media industry and beyond are starting to develop specific policies around employees’ use of social networks, often putting limits on when employees can use social networks, how they use them and what types of content they can produce. It would be smart to ask your company about what those policies are.4) Find a voice and stick to it – What type of content will you share with your followers? What is the tone of your tweets? How often will you tweet? Will you be funny, serious, ironic, straightforward? Thinking about your “Twitter persona” will help you define boundaries and help you create better content.5) Remember: The Internet never forgets – Thanks to Google, everything you’ve every posted to Twitter is searchable — often including the things you thought you deleted. Keep this in mind each and every time your tweet.
