Twitter is an easy way to keep up with current news about job search, careers, and almost any other topic you can imagine. But sometimes it is hard to know who to follow. I’ve got you covered!
This list contains experts who know what they are talking about. They are real practitioners- coaches, recruiters, HR professionals and resume writers who live this stuff every day. Beyond the normal job search stuff, you’ll find information to help you understand how to use social media, learn how to lead and hopefully much more.
<Confession> It is so difficult to pare this down. I follow and am friends with so many people on Twitter (and beyond)! I know I have forgotten to include people or left some off. Send me a DM on Twitter and I’ll get you back on!
In case you are interested, you can see the lists of Twitter accounts from previous years. You’ll find that some of the names have changed over time, but many are the same!
