Find Jobs on Twitter

Find Jobs on Twitter
                        4 Ways To Use Twitter To Find A Job

1. Create a Twitter account that showcases your professional profile. Finnigan recommends putting together your Twitter account as though it were your online business card. I realize I’ve failed to do this myself. When I created my account a couple of years ago, a friend helped me compose this clever-sounding line: “Old media hand swimming with the new tides.” But Dan points out that I would be better served by saying something like, “Senior Editor at Forbes where I cover careers and leadership.” I’ve also squandered the profile by including only Forbes.com instead of the link to my personal contributor page.

If you are not a journalist, but, say, an accountant, the same rules apply. Make your account information as specific and professional as possible, and on your profile, link to your own blog if you have one.
One of the reasons I have failed to do these things is my confusion about whether I am using Twitter for personal or professional reasons. What if I’m tweeting something about my teenager’s upcoming jazz combo performance? That’s not information I want to send to my professional network. Dan recommends an obvious trick that was lost on me: I can create another account for my non-professional interests. If you have a hobby, like raising English bulldogs or running triathlons, you can make an account that is devoted to that purpose, and keep your professional Twitter feed separate. Or simply maintain two accounts, one for personal and one for professional use.
2. Start following people and institutions. Figure out who the relevant people are in your field and become their follower. I admit to doing a poor job of this as well. It would be wise of me to pay attention to editors at the publications and websites where I might want to work someday and to become their follower.
Once you have identified some key people, Twitter makes it easy for you to find more people to follow. Click on the “who to follow” tab and you will get a list of people and institutions followed by the people you already follow.
Finnigan advises that if I were an accountant instead of a journalist, I would think about companies where I wanted to work, and look for accounting professionals there. Another way to find folks to follow is to go to LinkedIn and use the “advanced search” option, which allows you to search for people using keywords including company, title and geographic location. Note to self: Spend some time increasing the number of people I follow.
Once you’ve built up a good roster of people to follow, start retweeting (forwarding) intriguing tweets by those people. You can also write notes to them, using the “@” symbol and their Twitter handle. This is a good way to build relationships.
3. Create content. This is the one thing I do, albeit inconsistently. Of course I create content for a living, so it makes sense for me to tweet out my articles. This is easy, since Forbes has a Twitter button directly on my contributor page. But I am poor at tweeting content other than my own. This is an important part of being a strong Twitter user. I should be reading widely and tweeting links I find intriguing.
If I were an accountant, I could also tweet out interesting observations and articles. For instance, I might have just read about transitioning from client-server financial software to cloud-based software. I should tweet that article to my followers. Or if I worked in energy, I could tweet an article about natural gas extraction. The more interesting and relevant your tweets, the more likely you are to attract followers.
4. Send private notes to potential mentors. This may be the toughest tip to follow, since it requires maximum confidence. But a great way to find a job is to reach out directly to someone in your field and let them know that you are looking for new opportunities. It’s best to do this after you have interacted with someone through retweets or responses to tweets they have made.
Finnigan has experienced this himself. “If someone reaches out to me out of the blue, I ignore that,” he says. “But if someone has said, two or three times, ‘I watched your talk at South by Southwest and thought you were dead on,’ or ‘Here’s another article you might like on the same topic,’ and that allows me to make my presentations better, I might be receptive.” Much of Twitter’s strength is based on the assumption that participants will reciprocate.
An example of someone getting a job using Twitter: At Jobvite, the head of design was being followed by a number of people, including a designer in Canada. The design chief writes a blog, gives talks, holds meet-ups and publishes a lot of content. After following the design chief for some time, the Canadian designer sent him a message, using the “@”symbol, saying, “I like what you’ve been saying on Twitter and I agree with your approach. If you’re ever looking to hire someone, give me a shout. I’d love to work for you.” The design chief was indeed looking to hire a designer and wound up giving the job to the Canadian.

5G could download 30 movies in a SECOND: Scientists develop technology that is 65,000 times faster than 4G

In ten years we might look back at how we used to have to wait for films to download, or web pages to load, and wonder how we ever coped.

A team of researchers has developed a 5G data connection that is 65,000 times faster than current 4G technology.
The astonishing speed reached one terabit (125 gigabytes) per second - the equivalent of downloading about 30 movies in a single second.
The technology was developed by scientists from the University of Surrey's 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC).
While comparable speeds have been seen in fibre optic cables before, this was the first test ever to achieve such a capacity wirelessly.
The team built their own transmitters and receivers, and then performed tests over a distance of 330 feet (100 metres).
The speeds far exceed anything achieved before for 5G, eclipsing the 7.5 gigabits (940 megabytes) per second speed achieved by Samsung in October 2014.
The team wants to begin testing their technology in public spaces by 2018, while a British release of 5G has been hinted at in 2020 by Ofcom.
‘We want to be the first in the world to show such high speeds,’ Professor Rahim Tafazolli, director of the 5GIC,’ told V3.
He added: ‘We have developed 10 more breakthrough technologies and one of them means we can exceed 1Tbps wirelessly.
‘This is the same capacity as fibre optics but we are doing it wirelessly.’
Some of the benefits of 5G include the possibility of playing holographic games in real-time with other smartphone users, or significantly improving time delays in financial trading.
Ofcom has said previously that it expects 5G to be capable of delivering 10 to 50 gigabits per second - but this later development would blow that estimate out of the water.
 
The speeds far exceed anything achieved before for 5G, eclipsing the 7.5 gigabits (940 megabytes) per second speed achieved by Samsung in October 2014. Shown is an image of the vice chairman of LG Uplus Corp., Lee Sang-chul, giving a lecture on 5G in Busan, South Korea on 20 October 2014
