The Twitter Job Search Guide: Find a Job and Advance Your Career in Just 15 Minutes a Day

Well, this book tells you why twitter is more than the superficial fluff site I thought it to be. I really wasn’t going to use it, esp since the # and all the 160 character stuff, and the fact I can’t control who is “following me” like I can on Facebook and Linked In.
The book is well written easy to follow and got me up to speed. I recently taught a job search class at my church and people were amazed to learn that there are a LOT of jobs posted on Twitter – as well as ways to get attention in this crowded job market.
The rules have changed and this book does a very good job a spelling them out. It is concise, not expensive, up to date, and well worth the money!

Whether you’re entirely new to Twitter or have been exploring it for awhile, this is the book to get if you’re job-hunting (or looking to establish and/or expand your business).
Even if you’ve been fearful of jumping in, you’ll soon “get” what Twitter is all about and be able to cut through the clutter to find what you want and make Twitter work for you. If you’re an experienced user, you can skip the basics and go straight to the chapters that will help you develop a stand-out presence on Twitter and make the most of opportunities to connect with recruiters and employers.
There’s lots of practical advice here, with specific examples of that advice being put into practice. Chapters by leaders in the field, including career coaches and personal branding experts, are like getting a personal consultation. You’ll rethink your job search or marketing campaign after reading this book.

I’ve been “Tweeting” for quite some time. I consider myself a power-user, but this book showed me some things I didn’t know. Very well-written with lots of tips & tricks not only from the three authors, but from many other personal-branding experts and career coaches as well. It’s a soup-to-nuts explanation of Twittering for your career and it shows you why being on LinkedIn is not enough.
Whether you’re a Twitter novice or an experienced user like me …. get this book. Build your network, search for a job … advance your career!
