Are you on Twitter? If you are, you may have an advantage over your fellow job seekers, or at least the UK’s Lancaster University Management School said so in a recent article. The 140 character limit that distinguishes Twitter from other social networks has tapped into individuals’ talent for being succinct in their writing. How does this factor into your job search? The bullet points on your resume, introductions at networking events, or answering questions quickly and concisely in an interview are a few examples of moments where you need to be brief.
Social media platforms like Twitter are great tools to utilize if traditional avenues are falling a bit short in your job search. They can also be useful in not only building your professional skills, but showcasing them.
