Twitter-savvy job applicants only need apply
An article in yesterday's National Post reports that more and more companies are favouring prospective employees who are proficient in social media.
Some companies, like Valtech Technologies (an international consulting firm), is seeking a scrum master/project manager who is skilled in "social collaboration including work spaces like Wiki's, blogs, Twitter, etc."
With the rising popularity and influence of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and blogs, it's easy to understand why companies would seek out individuals who have experience with these online tools.
If you're looking for employment these days, and haven't jumped onto the social networking bandwagon yet, it might be time to enlist the help of your children, nieces and others members of Generation Y.
Even if you're currently employed and want to learn more about social networking, it couldn't hurt your long-term career prospects. Let's face it - those who can use Twitter and Facebook will have a distinct advantage in the workplace over those who can't.
