TweetDeck is one of my favorite applications for Twitter. When I discovered TweetDeck, it really helped me to answer the question, "I have followers, now what?" Initially, after joining Twitter, I could not understand how I was going to "engage in the conversation" as everyone kept saying that you needed to do.
Introducing TweetDeck – It is truly an organizational genius. Let me break apart a few of my favorite features.
SocialToo is a great follower/unfollower tool. It will auto follow all people who follow you and will stop following those who unfollow you.
Friend or Follow is an application where you can check to see who you are following who are not following you back.
SocialOomph, formerly known as TweetLater, is a neat service in that you can schedule tweets into the future.
Recruiters and hiring managers do use Twitter to look at candidates for a position. They are looking to see how you express your thought leadership and how you are engaging with others in the Twitter community. Remember, that a tweet is much like an email - you cannot undo a tweet. You can delete a tweet, but within a couple of minutes, Google has indexed the tweet. People have made many mistakes on Twitter that have cost them jobs and job opportunities. Always keep in mind that your tweets are on a public timeline. Anyone can read your tweets, not just your followers.
Determine your targeted search and see if the company lists jobs via Twitter. Also, you can locate job openings by field, job type, and other criteria. Again, your search function within Twitter will be an invaluable resource to you. I could do a search on LinkedIn on retail companies in South Carolina and target a list of companies in my search. Next, I could make notes of the names of the people that are in my LinkedIn network with that company. On Twitter, I could run searches to find out if the company and/or the people working there have an account on Twitter. If they do, I could start following their tweets. I might re-tweet resources, articles, or press releases that they tweet. Maybe I'll even see them announce a job opening. By following them, though, you will have gathered (hopefully) some relevant information to discuss in an interview.
