Impact of Social Sciences Maximizing the impact of academic research

Twitter is being used more and more for the dissemination of news and information by businesses, schools and the media. Even Governments and politicians around the world are using Twitter to share information. Job postings on Twitter continue to increase because of Twitter's huge popularity and also because it is free to post jobs via twitter. Here are a few tips to help you get started: 1. Follow key Twitter accounts related to your job search. By following businesses, recruiters, and schools on Twitter, you have the potential to be one of the first to hear about a job opportunity or internship and network instantly with the correct contact, which might just give you the advantage you need. 2. Use Twitter Search You can use Twitter Search to get an aggregated list of the most recent postings and also to see what people are saying about a particular company or topic. For instance, you might want to search twitter using the keywords "best government jobs" and see what other Tweeters have to say. For a more focused list of tweets you might try searching twitter using tags like #governmentjobs, #defensejobs or #internship. 3. Network with the contacts you are following. Once you are following the companies or individuals related to your job search, reach out and connect with them. If they follow you back on Twitter you can send them a brief introduction via direct message or watch their tweets and reply back with either a quick introduction or comment about their tweet. 4. Send out a Tweet about your job search. The Twitter community is filled with awesome people willing to help out whenever they can. If you are looking for an internship you might send out a tweet like this "College sophmore seeking legal internship for summer 09 please RT #internship". Even if you only have one or two people RT (ReTweet) your message, you still increase the chances someone might respond with either a lead or person for you to contact. RT other's messages and often

What I suggest :: 1.  Get to know everyone in the company, and let them get to know you. What are their career goals? Where did they come from? How long have they been with 'said' company?  What other companies have they worked for? 2.  Work your tail off and show how committed you are.  You don't have to be committed to a company necessarily ..but you do have to be committed to doing a great job on the assignment - to the end. 3.  Show interest for more. Get involved in networking events. This may take a bit of your free time but it will pay off.  Everyone knows someone who knows someone.  Get out there and meet those 2nd and 3rd connections. 4.  Finally, connect to all of your temporary co-workers on LinkedIn.  Request recommendations from them. Keep in touch with them long after your assignment.  As your career develops, so will theirs.  Those contacts may pay off big in 5 years. Bottom line?  Take advantage of every opportunity that you are given.  Nothing is minimal unless you insist it to be.  The opportunities are out there and the time is yours.  Do as I did/do…. OWN IT!!! … I'm Shannon, your personal LinkedIn Advisor, Staffing Consultant & Online Marketing Strategist! Over the last few years, I have been working diligently on establishing my own
