Twitter can be a useful tool for finding valuable education as well as hot news about any area of interest. As job seeker you can utilize to market yourself, or find open positions. The following top 10 accounts have proven to offer the most value for job seekers:
#1 – @TimsStrategy
Tim Tyrell-Smith may not know exactly how much I respect and admire his work. When we had a phone call at some point in 2010, I was immediately impressed and have enjoyed reading his helpful articles and tweets since. You can check out his blog/website at http://timsstrategy.com/blog/ and make sure to check out, “10 Signs You Are Being Lazy on Linkedin”#2 – @JobHuntOrg

#4 – @JobHuntChat
#JobHuntChat was invented by yours truly with help from Jessica Miller-Merrill (@blogging4jobs). #JobHuntChat was the first ever twitter chat for job seekers, and features a weekly one-hour chat on Monday nights from 10-11PM. We’ve been said to include the best mix of career experts and job seekers, which has resulted in an abundance of incredible connections made and information shared by community members.
#5 – @LindseyPollak
Many career experts break away from sharing entirely career or job search tweets. That’s not the case with Lindsey. She shares a ton of helpful links, that are either her own or from other experts. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s also a Linkedin Spokeswoman. Check out her blog at http://www.lindseypollak.com/blog and make sure to read, “How LinkedIn Company Pages Can Help Your Job Search”
#6 – @JacobShare
Jacob Share is just an awesome guy that I’ve had the opportunity to chat with on a few occasions. He is the man behind JobMob, a great resource for job seekers that like Corn on the Job, tries to bring in a certain level of humor into the process.

#7 – @Blogging4Jobs
When I invented #JobHuntChat, I realized that I needed to partner up with someone who was even more knowledgable than me. Jessica Miller-Merrill (aka @blogging4jobs) was the very first person I reached out to. Luckily, she said yes. She has been an amazing help and I’ve witnessed first hand how much value she brings to job seekers.

#9 – @Keppie_Careers
Miriam Salpeter is the amazing woman behind Keppie Careers. Calling her a jack of all trades would be a major understatement.
