Fantastic post up on the 45 Things blog called Twitter Tips for Job Seekers. This article includes a list of excellent rules to follow if you plan on using Twitter as part of your job search.

Among the advice:

Sound smart. Use proper punctuation, grammar and spelling. Using all lower case and lots of text acronyms makes you look and sound like an eighth grader.

and…

Clean tweets, only. Don’t tweet – or retweet – anything profane, racist, sexist or anything you wouldn’t say to your grandmother.

and finally…

No whining. We all know the job market is tough and looking for work can be difficult. But employers want to get to know people who confront challenges and are energized by them. When you blame outside forces for your woes: “The economy sucks. My state sucks. My school sucks,” employers fear the bitching could extend to them if they employ you, so they move on.

All in all, this is a great article for any progressive job hunter to read. Check it out here.
