Tips
About Job Boards
Twitter’s job boards, just like any other job boards online,are not the best source for you to find the jobs you want.
I want you to concentrate on what we’ve talked abouttoday in putting your best foot forward on Twitter and
establishing connections with others there.
More than anything else, Twitter is a networking tool.
