So I have to be on Twitter for a class. I hated it. I didn't want anything to do with it. I wanted the whole site to be shut down one day so I stopped hearing about it. My annoyance from it didn't stop my dad from having my mom text me from his phone, telling me what he was doing at the present time (if anyone saw those Verizon commericals, you'd know what I was talking about).
When I got the news that I had to get a Twitter, the first person I told was my mom. She laughed so hard, I thought she stopped breathing. She then went out and bought me a Twitter For Dummiers book. Yes, they really make those. So I peeked inside and learned a little about Twitter. Luckily, my professor for the class explained Twitter. So now I understand it.
But this post isn't much about how to use, more on the ways to benefit yourselfs.
That professor informed us (pretty much everyday) that Twitter will help us land a job. Employers want to see that we know how to use social media and technology.
Well, to my professor, thanks.
I have recently stumbled across a company with an amazing opportunity to further my odds on landing an internship because of Twitter. They have seen that I am on Twitter, Facebook, and that (surprise, surprise!) I have this blog, which in their eyes, is a good thing. I am excited to see where this path will lead me, hopefully an amazing successful career.
Yay for annoyances that turn into really good things! :)

So does this mean you won't twitter about how you hate blogging? ;) Good luck w/ the intership...keep us posted!
ReplyDeletehaha, thats kind of funny. Because you feel like you can talk freely, and being on these websites is impressive to them, and just as Bjorn was mentioning, you can write about what you hate anymore. The company will see what your writing and.... find everything....
ReplyDeleteI remember the stories teachers would tell us about companies facebooking kids, and finding their drunk pictures etc... Ive cleaned up my facebook recently so I come across more neutral, not so opinionated and the like.
Just brings up a funny circle, which sort of takes away the freedoms of online social webpages.
