Metronet Wind Down - Twitter for Job Seekers!

More and more often, people are turning to libraries for job-seeking assistance, like we read about in a recent MPR story – Librarian’s job description expands to help unemployed (http://bit.ly/bCQMfz). You may know about many websites where people can find job listings, but have you ever thought about using one of the biggest social networks in the world to find jobs?

Join us for the next Metronet Wind Down - Twitter for Job Seekers!

Thursday, June 23, 4:15-5:45pm

Wentworth Library meeting room

Twitter has emerged as one of the best online tools for networking and job seeking. Discover tips and techniques for finding a job and networking on Twitter, with an emphasis on useful information that you can take back to your library's job-seeking patrons. Learn about advanced Twitter searches, hash tags, third party websites, and apps worth knowing about. Presented by Brooke Roegge, Digital Information Specialist at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

If you help job seekers in your library, this is a must-attend Wind Down. Hope to see you there!
