Twitter (X) for Job Seekers: Using Threads to Showcase Your Expertise

Twitter (X) isn't just for news and memes—it’s a job search powerhouse. Research shows more than 50% of companies use the platform for recruiting, yet few job seekers maximize its potential.

How to Leverage Twitter Threads for Your Job Search

A Twitter thread (a series of connected tweets) allows you to:

🔹 Share industry insights in an easy-to-read format.

🔹 Showcase expertise without a formal blog.

🔹 Get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers.

Steps to Writing an Engaging Job-Seeking Twitter Thread

1️⃣ Start with a hook – “Transitioning from the military to a corporate career? Here’s what I’ve learned…”

2️⃣ Share 5-7 short insights about your journey or industry knowledge.

3️⃣ End with a call to action – “If you’re in a similar transition, let’s connect!”

💡 Pro Tip: Use hashtags like #CareerSwitch, #Hiring, and #VeteranJobs to improve discoverability.
