Twitter is the new face of virtual business networking and is fast becoming an essential career management tool. In fact, many recruiters predict Twitter will replace job boards as a primary source for finding quality candidates.

For individuals in the market for a new job, considering a change of industry or job function, or wanting to increase their visibility, The Twitter Job Search Guide can help them achieve their goals.

This groundbreaking book, from three leading career experts, shows readers how they can gain momentum in their job searches and careers through “tweets” that consist of fewer characters than a standard text message. Readers learn how to exponentially increase the size of their personal and professional networks by exchanging ideas, demonstrating subject-matter expertise, enhancing their reputation, and developing a “fan club.”

As the definitive guide to using Twitter in the job hunt, this book addresses how individuals can build their professional brand, boost their online identity, find job leads, discover unadvertised positions, research companies, uncover industry trends, prepare for interviews, and raise their value as an expert in their field.
