Are you looking for a new job that gives you better pay, more work satisfaction, more leisure time and opportunity for growth? How do you think is that connected with your Twitter profile? Let me tell you.
In earlier days employers never accessed Internet to find out more about a prospective employee- because there was no Internet. Now days it is the first function any employer will perform- search you the Internet. Click on what is said about you and what are you saying. If you have a Twitter profile in your name, that will appear in the results and a click will reveal a lot about to your employer. If you were an employer, what kind of an employee will you look for- let us list the qualities.
1. Sincere
2. Hard working
3. Efficient
4. Effective
5. Proficient in his/her work
6. Good communicator
7. Fun loving
8. Team worker
9. Ready to learn, etc.
Now look at your profile. Does your profile and the background you have used on Twitter convey these qualities? If yes, great, otherwise time to make changes so that when any prospective employer looks at your profile he/she is encouraged by that.
Let us first discuss background on twitter. Have you used a background that is based on themes such as love, cartoons etc? Time to change them to more sedate backgrounds such as flowers, butterflies, flags and so on. Since you do not yet know the preferences of your employer you would choose something neutral.
How about what tweets say? Are some of them meaningless? Please delete such tweets. All of your tweets should be sensible and such that convey the above qualities and do not suggest any lethargy or slip shod approach. Look at your profile as a neutral person and make all the changes needed.
