Advice from my Tweeting friends…

User Twitter smartly for career development, create lists so you can quickly sort

your followers into areas of expertise or key topics: organization, training, office

resources, travel planning, event planning, etc. This allows you to strategically use

Twitter in the 2-3 minute increments you may have throughout the day. With lists, you'll

be hooked on Twitter for good! ~ @JuliePerrine, Founder of All Things Admin

money is in the conversation! ~ Lucy Brazier, Founder
