Elevator Pitch
Take your personal Twitter presence seriously, and you’ll
find job opportunities where you least expect them.
Who are you? What do you have to offer that will make
an employer take notice?
Now boil that down to a 140 character message - that is
your elevator pitch for Twitter - a “you’re welcome”
message that introduces what you bring to the table
might be the foot in the door you’ve been waiting for.

A Word of Warning
Hiring managers and recruiters can see everything you
post on Twitter - whether they follow you or not.
So don’t use your Twitter account as a private hangout -
political activism, ranting, and minutiae have no place
here.
Consider every tweet and element of your profile as an
extension of your resume.
