I am not sure about Australia, but when I did a Twitter Search
on"Engineer", "Engineering", "ReliabilityEngineer",
"ReliabilityEngineeering" - mostly all I found was ads for US based
engineering jobs - so it must be very big in the USA - no wonder
newspapers are reeling from the loss of advertising income in the USA

Hi All,

I have completed my article on the use of social networking sites for securing
gainful employment.  Both job seekers and recruiters are indeed using twitter.
The article should be included in the June issue of Online Currents.  For those
of you who are interested in reviewing job postings on Twitter, see this nifty
search facility - http://www.twitterjobsearch.com/

Be sure to check out the map that displays recent job listings by geographic
area.

Cheers,

Robyn Rebollo

QKM speaker will be Cory Banks, Parsons Brinkerhoff.
 
ALLA speaker will be Karen Stone, Qld State Library.
 
RMAA speaker will be Jackie Bettington.

Hi Folks,

Is anyone out there currently using Twitter to find qualified candidates with
special skills and abilities?

On the other end, are there any job seekers using Twitter to scan tweets that
include job prospects?

Is anyone tweeting about your skills & abilities to get noticed by a prospective
employer?

If so, I'd like to hear from you.  I'm writing an article on the use of social
networking sites for securing gainful employment.

Cheers,

Robyn Rebollo
