twitter: your NEWEST Executive recruiter

So Twitter is a huge outlet for gaining attention from businesses now eh?  Strange, yet I probably should have seen that coming.  I’m also realizing how incredibly dry my last blog posts have been.  If you read them side to side you’d think it was a serious of reflection assignments from high school.  They essentially are, but blogging is supposed to be one of the facets that allow me to escape from that boring tone of voice.  That repetitive and uninteresting style you wouldn’t want other employers to see.  I wouldn’t want them to see it anyway.  Regardless, the articles revolving mostly around Twitter seem like a useful step in the right direction for reaching out to new opportunities.  My only concern is if the business is too big then there’s a lesser chance that tweets may go by unnoticed.  Not to mention if I had already let a lot of inappropriate Twitter updates roam the world, I may have hurt myself in the long run.  I had initially started a Twitter account when I had a very strong interest in stand-up comedy.  This led to many naughty tweets indeed.  Seriously though, the fact businesses are looking for personality and a unique perspective from new writers allows me to be myself to the fullest extent.  That is, unless your ideas and tone don’t match the business.  Then what?  I don’t plan on moving anywhere particularly far just for an internship, so this might be a good medium to practice my craft through anyway.  It could at least show experience with social media and search engine optimization, but that will only go so far.  I have to be able to prove my qualities in smaller and smaller resumes now and I’m not sure if that’s healthy for business.  It continues to increase the already enlarging gap between personal interactions with possible employers.  If I do receive an email saying they want my talent, I’d better make sure to follow up with a face-to-face meet before signing any papers.  I mean this is the Internet; most people there can’t even be trusted.  This is especially true with aspiring careers.
