can help.

Here are our favourite tips for you:

1. Be Human
Make your personal bio
informative, it is important to
have a personality on social
media platforms like these.
If you have interests, include
them in your bio. Also make
sure that you drop in some
key words, which will make
it easier for individuals and
businesses to find you.

2. Have relevant
and exciting tweets
140 characters isn’t a lot of
room to type your thoughts.
A good rule of thumb to live
by is treating each tweet as
a newspaper headline. If you
need to say more, include a link
to an article or even a link to
your own blog.

3. Followers
Follow and engage with people
and posts that are relevant to
you. If you are looking for a
career move and you have been
interacting with a business on
a regular basis, you will be a
memorable candidate to them
compared to other candidates
who they have never interacted
with.

4. # Hashtag
Hashtag trending terms in
order to have your message
seen by a wider audience. Also
use hashtags that are relevant
to the topic you’re talking
about. It may provide you with
more relevant followers in a
specialist area.

Use a clear photo of yourself
on your profile. It is always
good to put a name to a face,
likewise nobody wants to have
to guess which one you are in
a group photo. Twitter is both
a fun and profession social
media network, so remember
this when choosing your
picture. You could even create
an animated avatar to make
you stand out from the crowd

job interview, research the
business and what kind of

company, you will be able to
