Using Twitter to Find Blogging Jobs

Don’t forget that you can use Twitter for other things that just telling everyone you are in line at the local Subway.

Twitter has become some sort of monster in the recent year, but some people don’t realize that Twitter has a nice search function. Going to search.twitter.com, you can find out what others are talking about, get an answer to your WordPress theme question or even find blogging jobs.

It’s really that easy. You are just searching for key terms just like any other search engine. You can use the #hash tag if you want, but you do not have to. I use the search all the time to find writing jobs for bloggers that do not have enough time to keep up with projects. The pay is reasonable, usually, but I see the market getting more flooded by the day.

You can also see the top trending keywords “tweeted” about throughout the day. Twitter can really be a nice resource if you use it correctly. Give the search a try and don’t forget to follow me @sukosaki to keep track of my bathroom breaks

I wanted to start a blog with just LISTS of things on it, but then I decided that I have too many blogs already, so I would just add a category to this blog.

I will be starting this category off with a list I found online, regarding the 5 ways to tell you have a lousy job. This list is from MSN.com and has my 2 cents thrown in on it.

1. You dread going to work.

Who does like going to work, right? I know there are some that love their job, but what % is that?

2. You get no enjoyment from your day-to-day responsibilities.

I think this might be tied into the #1 on the list. If you dread your job, you won’t find enjoyment, right?

3. You are uncomfortable with the company culture and environment.

This I can understand. Some people have morals and ethics. When you get into a company that lacks this, some might be discouraged, uncomfortable or otherwise without a doubt.

4. Your relationship with your boss is turbulent.

Well, I don’t think that bosses are assholes to begin with. The people that he must answer to are the ones making this guy an ass. Think of all the pressure he is put under. If you can picture who he is answering to when he makes decisions you don’t think is right, you might feel different about the situation.

5. You see no opportunities for career advancement or enhancement.

Well, it depends on where you want to go. There are plenty of schools and no reason you cannot go back to learn another trade or get another degree. The trick is making sure you don’t waste too much time at a dead end job. Maybe figure it out, but use it as a resume padder, if you will.
