Twitter. Friend or Foe?

The Atlanta Journal Constitution recently published an article stating: "Tweet your way to a job or more successful career."

I don't know about you, but as a twenty-three year old recent college graduate I have a blog (previously created for course requirement purposes, now just fun), Twitter @BrittniFaith, LinkedIn profile and a Facebook (although I am currently on a 30 day facebook fast as the job search progresses).

I have, to date, found one job posting of any interest or relevance on Twitter. I did get a response from the Direct Message I sent, but the company and position did not turn out to be what I was hoping for.

I would of course recommend any and all social media savy individuals to read the article. If nothing else it gives some companies to follow on Twitter and sites to check out:

I also recommend making a Twellow.com profile (yellow pages of Twitter) and an online portfolio to showcase your work.
