Job applications on Twitter/X
Start your employment search at https://twitter.com/jobs or https://x.com/jobs. The platform features a simple interface for setting job search parameters. Keywords and location are crucial. You can filter job listings by profile and interests to see the most relevant ones.
Twitter/X does not allow direct job applications like LinkedIn or Fuzu. Redirected to SmartRecruiters when you click ‘apply’ on a job you like. The application is done on this external site. Upload your resume, build a professional profile, and apply to the employer here.
It’s essential to note that the job search feature on Twitter/X acts more like a directory listing than a direct job application portal. It connects you to job openings, but the application is done elsewhere. This setup sets it apart from other job application platforms.
Improve Your Hashtag Hustle
Hashtags unlock hidden jobs. Find #contentmarketing, #softwaredev, or #UXdesign hashtags. Follow your favourite firms’ #hiring or #careers hashtags. Join these discussions to share your knowledge and make contacts.
Brand yourself
Twitter is a resume, not a lunchtime distraction. Highlight your abilities and accomplishments in a professional bio. Share exciting stories, join industry debates, and retweet. Everyone’s tweet is a potential employer’s first impression.
Professional Networking
Don’t lurk. Follow industry influencers, recruiters, and hiring managers. Attend talks, give opinions, and interact with others. Retweet their employment posts and tag nearby prospects. Always remember that Twitter networks are worth it.
Writing the Perfect Application Tweet
If you spot a dream job on Twitter, don’t just apply and hope. Personalise your tweet to demonstrate your skills. Include the company and hiring manager and explain why you’re perfect—a mini-resume with a Twitter personality.
Keep trying
Job hunting on Twitter takes time. Your dream job may not come after the first tweet but don’t give up. Maintain your presence, community involvement, and job applications. Be persistent—your following tweet could lead to your next professional move.
Instead of job boards, try Twitter job seeking. You can turn tweets into interview invites and get your desired job with the correct hashtags, personal brand, and networking magic.
