Twitter, Another Job Seeker Tool — May 22

Michele Rempel, M.A., Mediavine Marketing’s social media & web development expert, will clarify how to best use Twitter in your job search.

• How do individuals set up and use a Twitter account?
• How do today's businesses use Twitter to seek job applicants?
• How can a job applicant make the best use of this medium to land a new job?
