How to find a job in Galway on the Twitter machine
There are many places you can go to find a job, and Twitter is another place I recommend you take a took:)
Check out this tutorial by tweetinggoddess to brush up on your Twitter skills :)
Twitter is all about hashtags ( they look like this #) followed by a word.
These are the key words you want to search for: #jobs #jobfairy #galway #galwayjobs . The combination that works best is #jobfairy #galway or just #galway if want to see all Tweets related to Galway.
Twitter also has the feature of creating lists, enabling you to “bookmark” companies you are interested in. I have started to create Twitter list for Recruitment Companies in Galway, Governmental Bodies, it’s work in progress. Follow me on Twitter, find my lists and follow them!
