I had no idea of the amount of blogs out there in cyberspace
until I actually started to blog. It’s phenomenal. I wasn't under the
impression that David
Jones and I were the only ones, but that didn't prepare me for what is
out there. And, as is the case with everything on the internet, some are better
than others. So, I’m going to add an extra dimension to this already multi-dimensional
blogby covering some of the better ones and any good articles I come
across.
Most of them are focused on the job market in America, where
life is a little different to over here. Take this article in The
Wall Street Journal, that tells us about a woman who got a job by only
using Twitter. Two things I note about this. Firstly, knowing Ireland as I do,
Twitter isn’t that big over here, but it is catching on. Secondly, she is looking
for a job in social media, so it makes sense that she would use a social medium
to job hunt, and it is no surprise that she secures a position in this way. The
article fails to mention this, so don’t expect this method to work for any
other profession!
And to give credit where credit is due, I caught onto this
article from Clue
Wagon, who wrote a post entitled Why
This Whole “Get a Job Through Twitter” Thing is Complete Crap. The article
makes a very valid point - that you get jobs through humans - but I
recommend a full read of the post.
