Probably, you may have already used the modern tools of job search. You have perfected your LinkedIn profile and used the achievement of a professional CV writer. However, if you still haven’t figured out how to make the hirer notice you, reach out to him via Twitter.

Here’s how to make your tweets work for you and post a 140 words job application to get the interview.

Follow the people, who work in your field of expertise or interest. Many companies or field insiders may post about the job openings before it has come out officially.

Take advantage of your communication skills. Take part in the conversations that concern your industry. Retweet advise and tips from prospective employers. To build the strong network, establish useful connections with friending useful people.

Start the tweet with a hashtag related to the job search. Include as many hashtags as needed, but make sure they are purposeful. Popular hashtags are #Jobhunt, #JobListing, #Careers, #TweetMyJobs.

Always add the career and industry-specific hashtags, like #Freelance, #TeachingJobs, #Retail, #Realty.

Let the recruiter see you. Post the relevant hashtags in order for the post to be considered as an application. Hashtag the targeted job location, e.g. #London or #NewYork. In case the area is too big to search, a job hunter may want to include a particular district hashtag, like #Manhattan.

Post as a professional. When you add a link to the job opening post, link it directly to the posting page, not the general careers page. You may want to shorten the link in order not to go over the limited characters number. Bitly.com will help shorten the link. It also provides the basic analytics.

Search for job dedicated twitter accounts and post there. Also, include them in your tweets. Those accounts might retweet you and make your post visible to plenty of followers.

Add the advantage of hiring you. Companies looking for candidates include words like “High Pay” in order to attract talents. You can also include the benefit of hiring you by posting words like “Pro-active” or “Reliable”.

Use positive language. Don’t complain about your current boss. Avoid using phrases like “hate my job” or “hate my boss”.

Post at least 3 new tweets a day and make them job search related, while also fun and interesting. Retweet 2 interesting posts every day. Follow 10 new people a week.

When following the people related to your targeted company, involve with them on a personal level to gain the advantage. Find out about the interviewer's interest and see if you can respond to them. Do a research about the potential interviewer, assess his field of expertise and the topics that may arise during the interview.

Make your profile complete and professional looking to show you in the best light. Include an expert looking headshot to make a good impression on the hiring manager.

Watch your language. Have fun with the conversations you join, but tweet thoughtfully and wisely. Don’t post anything that can jeopardize your chances of getting the job. You are creating a career Twitter account and want people to see you as a competent person.

As you can see, when following the above tips precisely, you can succeed in the job search endeavors via Twitter. Build a powerful Twitter account today and upgrade your career path.
