Just like there are 50 ways to leave your lover there are 50 ways to use Twitter as a job search tool. I know that many of you have not jumped on the tweeting bandwagon with quite the same enthusiasm as Facebook but, if I’ve said it once I’ve said it *50* times, you shouldn’t ignore Twitter. Every where I turn these days people are talking about Twitter. Just yesterday in the New York Times there was an article discussing how to use Twitter for work, not diversion. Among other things Twitter is increasingly becoming a place to help with […]

Those are the candidates we do not hire.” Avoid using your cell phone or text messaging while sitting in the waiting room before an interview or even a […]
