Using Twitter To Find A Job
You’ve heard of Twitter, right? If not, you need to get on there right away!
In case you are unaware, FilmAndTVCareer.com is on Twitter and if you want to follow us, you can find us at: www.twitter.com/filmandtvcareer
Anyway, the point I’m trying to make here is that Twitter can get you a job… and I’ll prove it!
To start, you should know that I have a number of Twitter accounts. One account is for my business at BicycleTouringPro.com and one for my business at SilverMountainMarketing.com. By having two separate accounts, I can keep information that is relevant to both businesses separate. In other words, I talk about bicycling and lifestyle design on my bike touring site and I talk about business and website design on my marketing site.
Anyway, I happened to mention on my bicycle touring Twitter account that I had designed BicycleTouringPro.com all by myself. I didn’t make a big deal out of it or anything. I was simply responding to someone who asked who had designed my site – because they liked the way it looked.
Well, that tweet went out to my 250+ followers on Twitter and was simultaneously posted to my Facebook account where I have another 350+ friends. On Facebook, one of my new friends in the bicycle touring world saw that I had designed my own site and contacted me.
As it turns out, he was looking for a website designer to create a new site for him. I wrote him back, told him I’d love to work with him and in less than 24 hours had a new job! And it was all because of a single tweet.
Best of all, I didn’t have to do any hard selling to get the job. I passively responded to a reader’s question, another one of my followers saw the message… and he contacted me about doing some work for him.
This, my friends, is the power of social media. And this is just one of the many reasons you need to sign up for a Twitter account today!
How do you get a job in the film and television industry? By actively marketing yourself – both online and offline. Get started now!
