From what friends are eating for dinner to breaking news stories, Twitter has become an interesting source of all sorts of information in this digital age. Now it can be a source for employment opportunities. Federal agencies such as the Federal bureau of Investigation (username FBIJobs) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (username SEC_Jobs) have begun posting their open positions on Twitter as a way to reach talented candidates as quickly as possible.
Be aware that placement agencies are also posting “opportunities”, that may require you to apply for the position through them. It is important for you to determine whether there is any fee involved and to completely understand the terms. It may be best to follow the employer you are interested in directly to ensure the postings that you see are accurate and the most recent.
