Chris Kieff – Social Media Helped Me Get My Job (#12) *

"I went on to Twitter and I said, ‘I just lost a job opportunity but I think they want me to be a consultant now…’ One of my followers saw my Tweet and said, ‘Chris we’re looking for a social person, would you be interested?’"

"After I lost my job, I jumped on and did all the standard resumes, jumped on all the job sites, and started responding to all the jobs postings that I could find."

"Twitter is just a way for people to communicate with each other and get to know each other a little bit over time, which is the way you that you get to know your casual acquaintances."

"There is certainly an overlap between the people that follow me on Twitter or the people that are connected to me on LinkedIn and Facebook."
