Using Twitter in your job search

Segun Akiode

To a social media rookie, Twitter is a hard nut to crack. They just dont get it. In simple terms, Twitter forces you to learn how to communicate and share insightful ideas in tweets, which are no more than 140 characters.

Actually, Twitter is the simplest of the social networks. The simplicity of Twitter makes it possible for real social communication/networking with exchange of or Direct Messages (DMs) just like exchange of SMS. Can you relate with that?

Twitter isnt the first social network someone typically thinks about when applying for a job. Platforms such as LinkedIn come first to mind; but it does have some unique advantages over other social platforms. Twitter is a great platform for sharing resources and information. Job- related information is not left out as well.

Jobvite, a social recruiting intelligence and technology firm, in 2014 conducted a study of how job seekers use social networking sites in their job search and they came up with a 2014 Jobvite Job Seeker Nation Study. The study showed that there is a growth in the use of Twitter by applicants in their job search. In 2013, 34 per cent of job seekers said they were using Twitter to find a job; and in 2014, the number jumped to 40 per cent. This indicated that job seekers are beginning to adopt the use of Twitter in their job search with a high tendency that the 2015 figures would be higher.

So, how useful can Twitter be to your job search? Explained below are some useful tips on how job seekers can use twitter as a job searching tool

Create a Twitter account with well-crafted bio

It is usually advisable, from recruiting stand point, that when a job seeker creates a Twitter account, it should be one that showcases professional outlook. Many social media addicts would disagree with me on this, as they believe social media is their fun-time or hang-out spot, so why be professional about it? Take your Twitter account/handle as an extension of your online personal brand, and be serious about it. Be professional in your choice of Twitter handle. A Twitter bio is the section provided on your account for you to write about yourself in 160 characters or less. Make your bio concise and meaningful.

Upload a professional profile photo

A Twitter avatar or profile photo is the photograph that represents your identity on Twitter and appears with your tweets. For the purpose of maintaining a professional outlook on the social network, upload a professional photo/avatar for this purpose. Remember, the essence is to make a good impression on a potential employer. So, upload your profile photo wisely.

Censorship by Facebook "shameful": US based Tibet advocacy group

By Phuntsok Yangchen

DHARAMSHALA, January 7: A leading Tibetan advocacy group based in Washington DC has petitioned the social networking giant Facebook to account after it deleted a post by a Beijing based Tibetan writer, allegedly under Chinese pressure.

The International Campaign for Tibet, a prominent advocacy group based in Washington DC, is urging people to tell Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to let the Tibetan voices be heard.

Tell Facebook: Let Tibetans Be Heard, as the petition is called, has already been signed by over 4000 people and counting.

The ICT said that the social networking site has violated Woesers freedom of expression and Tibetans right in letting the world know the real situation in Tibet.

Calling the removal of her post wrong and shameful, it said, Censoring the truth about Chinas oppression of Tibetan- so severe and pervasive that some see setting themselves on fire as their only way to be heard.

Matteo Mecacci, President of the International Campaign for Tibet, said the existence of freedom of expression on any media can be fully assessed only when social and political activism is taken into account.

Chinas ban on Facebook reflects that so far the social medias giant had refused to apply the censorship standards typical of Chinas social media. It was therefore worrying to see a video posted by Woeser about Kalsang Yeshis self immolation deleted by Facebook, as other recent interference with individual accounts. We are seeking a full explanation and calling on Facebook to fully uphold the freedom of expression that has become an integral part of its brand, added Matteo.

Matteo said his organization launched the campaign to call on Facebook to stop blocking images of Tibetan self-immolations, especially if the users are posting them with many technical difficulties from within China, as Woeser does.

Censorship from the free world would be the ultimate offense to these courageous people who are trying to bring justice and freedom to places where people do not now enjoy them.
