Jobs delivered to your "door" via twitter.

I wrote this for another network at their request.  I thought I'd share it here:
I put this together for another network - then thought you all might like to have it. It's the first in a "series" of twitter related job tools. (No, I'm not 100% sold on it but because high tech is my field I feel it's extremely important to use these tools to become knowledgeable in web 2.0)

This is instructions to start to use jobshouts --- I am not getting tremendous volume out there but...

You go to www.jobshouts.com and create an account. Once into the account, click on update your profile to set up a "profile" - it's very rudimentary - just roles and locations. nicely, it doesn't ask much about you... Hit Update and then click on edit your account. This is where you will be asked to enter your twitter identity.

That's all there is to it - then when a job fits the profile it goes to your "direct tweet" area on your homepage. You can also follow jobshouts on twitter and you will see various tips and tricks.

As a matter of fact - if you go to www.search.twitter.com and type in jobs - you will see all the current tweets about jobs - and you can start to see who is a leader in that. It's a handy tool if you want to know anything at all about what's up on twitter.

I also highly recommend Guy Kawasaki's webpage/twitter - www.alltop.com It's how I found out about jobshouts and other similar tools.

The only question I have is is this a new source for new jobs? - or are the same jobs just cycling around the recruiters/job-boards and social media sites? (effectively increasing the perspection of jobs by an order of magnitude!).

I hope this is helpful to you all.

you can follow me at nhlady2 on twitter (I don't tweet alot as I'm too busy job hunting!).
