The full time job that is job hunting!

Firstly I would like to apologise for the absolutely enormous gap between this post and my last. Since then I have updated the blog a bit by adding a page for my CV but apart from that I admit that I have not been as on top of this as I should have been.

Well, since the last blog a lot has happened.  I finished my dissertation, completed my exams and now have a degree!

I have also spent an obscene amount of time job hunting online. Without a doubt I believe that the most useful resource for graduates in the PR industry is Twitter. While this is often discussed by other grads and on blogs, it was proved to me when I recently tweeted about my job search.

Following my tweet I was put in touch with various people in the PR industry, while some had more to say than others, all the information that I got was very beneficial to me.

While the above shows that the vast amount of people who are on Twitter can help with the job hunt, the Twitter facility that allows you to group users into lists is not only time-saving but extremely helpful.

I can easily say that 100% of all the interviews that I have attended in the past month would not have happened if it had not been for Twitter. This is not to say that I would not have found out about the jobs via other sources, just that by having Guardian Jobs,  PR Week jobs and various feeds from recruitment agencies consolidated into one list makes the full-time job that is job hunting that much easier.
