As Twitter is growing in use by job seekers and recruiters there has emerged a method to write an effective Twitter resume.
Here are the elements that make up a good Twitter resume:
Job Title - this is the title of the position you are currently seeking.
Location - use the #tag or Hashtag of the location where you want to work or where you want to relocate.
Link to Resume - You have several options here. You can link to your online resume or personal homepage or a social networking profile. Use a URL shortening service like Bit.ly or TinyURL to stay within 140 character limit.
Use Hastags - hastags are a way for Twitter users to classify tweets and group them together. Recruiters use hastags as a way to search for talent on Twitter. Some good examples of hastags that you should include in your Twitter resume tweet are #needajob, #laidoff, #jobangels. A great resource for looking up hashtags being used is Hashtags.org.
TweetMyResume - post your resume on Tweetmyresume.com for added exposure.
ReTweets - Ask your Twitter following to retweet your Twitter resume making it very viral!
