Twitter is full of hidden jobs, but how to find them Enter Twitjobsearch.com When youre looking for jobs or internships, its sometimes hard to know where to look for the kinds of opportunities that interest you. Its easy to just focus on the big job sites, but its like fishing from just one pool that everyone else is fishing from too! And if youre looking for jobs in smaller companies, or in the media, marketing or the creative and digital industries, you might find those sorts of jobs just arent advertised in the normal places. But they ARE out there! Its just that you have to look a bit harder. There are thousands of exciting one-off internships and jobs appearing on Twitter every day, but most people would have no idea where to start looking for them. While Twitter can be a wonderful mine of information, finding that dream job ad can be like finding a needle in a particularly chaotic haystack! So some clever dude had the idea of creating a job search engine just for Twitter. Its called TwitJobSearch.com. Its dead simple. You just put your search criteria into the box, e.g. editorial assistant or paralegal and click on Search. TwitJobSearch then helpfully lists recent tweets with jobs that meet your criteria, including which Twitter account And you can refine your search by location, salary, job type (referring to permanent or contract) and even how recently the job was tweeted using the filters on the right-hand side of the page. The nice thing is you dont even have to have a Twitter account to make use of this. But if you do have a Twitter account, you might want to check out the TwitJobSearch directory (link at top of page), as this has lists of Twitter accounts tweeting jobs listed by sector, so you could follow these accounts yourself directly and add them to a customised Twitter list instead of using TwitJobSearch. Like any other job search engine, its not perfect. For example, once you narrow down to the type of job youre interested in and to the UK or even a city, youll find more limited results. But its another tool in your job search armoury! All Undergraduate Undergraduate-highlighted Internships job hunting social media Twitter work experience
