A New Way To Get A Great Job? @jamievaron and Her World Wide Rave in the Making
Great Answer as to How I will Find My Next Job… Where are you? So as I was browsing blogs and the Twittersphere yesterday waiting for the great answer as to how I would find my next job to pop in my head, and I came across Twitter Should Hire Me and Jamie Varon’s unconventional method to try to land a job at Twitter. Mmmm… Cookies After introducing herself to Twitter’s Hiring Manager by stopping by with cookies, Jamie created TwitterShouldHireMe.com and leveraged social media to get noticed. Her campaign is now in full force and she is quickly becoming this week’s Skittles. David Meerman Scott take notice, Jamie’s creating a World Wide Rave. She asked everyone to help her, and with the exception of some haters, a lot of us were more than happy to oblige. Yesterday, www.TwitterShouldHireMe.com had 15,000 page views. She’s getting a job somewhere. Blog Applications? Damn. I think this chick just raised the bar really high for all of the job searchers who have grown weary from the black hole of online job applications. Will we all need to create a separate blog for each job we apply to? Actually, that’s not a bad idea. It would probably take as long as filling out an online job application and writing a targeted cover letter anyway. Hey, great answer as to how I will find my next job, are you planning on popping in my head anytime soon? This one is already taken. Jamie, Don’t Forget to Tweet from the Inside Do her a favor, keep the message going. Blog it. Tweet it. Tell the execs at Twitter about it. Jamie, keeping my fingers crossed for you. Don’t forget to Tweet once you’re on the inside.
