If You Don't Truly Follow, Opportunities Get Left Behind.
A friend recently landed an ad job in Philly. It started with a tweet from someone in HR. You see, my friend started following various HR personnel from different agencies for about a year. As most of you know, your Twitter timeline doesn't include every tweet from everyone you follow. Sometimes you have to make the effort to check up on those on your list.
And that's what my friend did. By checking a few names on his "Following" list, he caught a job posting that eventually became his.
So remember why you're following someone on Twitter – it's because you like what they have to tweet. So if you haven't heard a peep from them, then it's time to check in or risk missing something important.
And for those who are new to my story, that's similar to how I ended up relocating to Chicago.
In my case, someone who followed me tweeted me about my current position.
