Here it is! My list of 95 99 folks I greatly admire and hope you will follow in 2013. These are people who are active on Twitter almost every day and provide career advice and job search information. Many have their own sites and/or write for other outlets. You will find good quality content in their stream, not just their own.
If one of your resolutions for the new year is to become active on Twitter (gosh, I hope it is!), then these are people you should add to your lists. In order to get the most from Twitter, I highly recommend you create lists. This allows you to easily skim what people are saying. I’ve categorized them to help make this easy for you. (In this post I attempt to demystify twitter for the nay-sayers and doubters. And here’s how to get the most out of Twitter by following the right people.)
