Just want to let everyone know that I contributed to The Twitter Job Search Guide: Find a Job and Advance Your Career in Just 15 Minutes a Day which is being published next week.

In fact, I’ll be at the launch party in New York on the evening of  March 15th.

My chapter was on Twitter Job Metrics – should be interesting to see what the reaction is to this book when it comes out.

The Seattle Times had an article about the book that came out last week:

The authors give these tips for your short and sweet, real-time job search:

- Active participation is essential. Take the time to regularly expand your network and engage others. Building relationships online requires patience, but you should be able to enhance your reputation and develop a fan base using just 15 minutes a day.

- Be transparent when reaching out to a hiring manager or person with influence about a job, but make sure the relationship is give-and-take in some way. Don’t just ask them to give you a position. Instead, give advice or demonstrate expertise on a subject that matters to them, and let them know you’re looking for work.

- Be sure to post regular updates about your job search, and acknowledge those who are helping you along the way.

- Be specific when it comes to your career objectives, skills, interests and your brand.

“Successful job seekers have a distinct brand that helps their networking contacts and prospective employers get a quick picture of who they are, how they work and how their talents would bring value to the table,” Dib said.
