With the huge amount of people on twitter, there are a lot of job search experts offering great advice on finding your next job. However, with so many tweets and your own limited free time, the key is really following the right Twitter users. We don’t recommend following users (or bots) who tweet jobs 24/7, as you’ll end up getting a bunch of jobs alerts flooding your homepage that aren’t relevant. We screened the following users based on a) minimum 3,000 following; b) frequent tweets; and c) valuable job advice. We made one or two exceptions if a user missed a requirement, but excelled in the others.
Please note, this list is focused for people who already have experience (as opposed to recent graduates or entry-level jobs).
