Tweet Your Way to a Job!

I did an interview with Jeff Morand, who runs the College Funding Coach radio show. What a cool guy! We touched on so many issues--one of them being how to use Twitter.com to find a job.

Is it possible, you may ask? I thought Twitter was only for gabbing to my friends in short 140-character-or-less statements...right?

Job seekers: rejoice!

These Twitter users include links to awesome job resources, and actual jobs.
