5 Ways To Get Jobs Using Twitter


I know you must have gotten to a point whereby you got tired of browsing through the numerous job vacancy websites cos they all publish the same vacancies due to the ever increasing copy and paste bloggers. This post is here to help you look beyond their offering and get real job vacancies you can hardly find on such sites.

Do you know Twitter offers better job postings? Yes, it does and it doesn't really require you following a firm's twitter handle cos there are more smarter ways of getting sure job vacancies without that. Below are some ideas on how to get those vacancies, with some requiring you using the twitter Search button.


1. Type in the job position

Let's say you have a dream of building a career in sales, simply type 'sales representative' in the search box. This will lead you to tweets from various individuals who have posted such adverts starting from the most recent.

2. Using location

Type in your job preference and add location to it e.g business developer Lagos. This refers you to tweets posted about vacancies in Lagos concerning the said position. You can even almost use that method to get job vacancies that are close to your doorstep by adding you Area's name e.g Accountant Ikeja.

3. Name of firm

Most jobs don't get posted on the various job websites cos the sites didn't get info about them. An insider may be aware of a said vacant position in the firm where he works. Tweeting about it may be an easy way for him to broadcast the message. So, to get a job in that dream company of yours, make twitter your friend. Simply type the company's name in this format: Chevron Nigeria vacancy. If there is a vacancy in the company, chances are that someone has tweeted about it

4. Using qualifications

You can narrow your search on twitter to your qualifications and experience. This will prevent you from being presented with posts or tweets about jobs below or above your credentials e.g Bsc Msc Engineer 5yrs experience Lagos or Bsc Accountant trainee.


5. Search for certain twitter handles

There are various popular handles in Nigeria's twitter space e.g @trafficbutter @asegg_20 @Giditraffic @TouchPH etc. People use them to get and spread information on twitter. Simply follow them as they post confirmed insider job info. Better yet, search for their handles using the twitter Search box and in this format: @trafficbutter vacancy lagos. You can also play around with your search e.g @Giditraffic customer care job vacancy or @asegg_20 sales representative needed Lagos. I once got an interview for a role in Chevron through @asegg_20. Kindly follow him. Abeg, make una follow me... I no fit shout!
