| The first ever #TalentNet took place on April 29th and was amazing. A fast-paced exchange of ideas, opinions, and entertaining intel was provided by the participants and by special guests, John Sumser and Jason Davis. And we even had music to Tweet by (with some attitude as a bonus) provided by Jerry Albright. For this Wednesday's #TalentNet, we will be talking sourcing with Geoff Peterson (@GeoffPeterson) and Kelly Dingee (@SourcerKelly). We'll also get feedback about last week's Kennedy Info conference from Susan Kang Nam (@PinkOliveFamily) and Julia Stone (@BizWerkerJulia). Best of all we'll get to meet new friends and have more fun with talent industry professionals from near and far (hoping @BillBoorman makes good on his promise to tweet in from the U.K. where it will be 2am at the start). We will also be posting some news about the first #TalentNet Live Conference in Dallas this fall. Very interesting stuff in the works for that! This time around we will be trying out Tweetgrid to better manage the fast moving stream. Just go to www.tweetgrid.com and select the number of windows you would like to view. I would suggest using one window with the search term #TalentNet and set to update in real time, one window with your user name as a search term (so you can keep up with conversations directed specifically to you) also set to update in real time, and maybe one more #TalentNet window set to update a bit slower, maybe 5 or 10 seconds. Just ask anyone who has been participating in the very popular #GNO chats how they do it and you'll get some good tips. Not sure what you're missing? Check out the buzz from last time: Have you heard?.

Jump Start Your Job Search on Twitter
There are now many great resources now to help job seekers better utilize Twitter in their job search. I have put together a few of my old favorites and a couple of new ones to help job seekers either get started or take it to the next level.
The first thing to do after you set up your twitter account is follow some people who regularly post job search advice and job openings on Twitter. The list below was announced this week by Ryon Harms, The Social Executive, and is a "hand-picked collection of the 100 most influential personal branding gurus, power networkers, resume and interview experts, job boards and fellow executives on Twitter. If you're seeking out resources to assist you with your job search or for career advice, Harms calls his list the "who's who of career management."
Follow TheCareer100 on Twitter to get assorted posts from all of these resources. I know or follow many on this list, Ryon did his homework. For more info about the list check out @TheCareer100 Must-Follow Mavens on Twitter by Ryon Harms, and The Social Executive: @TheCareer100 must-follow mavens on Twitter by Stephanie Lloyd.
Next, go to the Advanced Twitter Search and type in the word jobs in the space next to "This hashtag". Then type in your zip code next to "Near this place". Companies and recruiters now regularly attach #jobs to their postings on Twitter to make this a convenient way for job seekers to search.
Hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me if you need assistance. And please follow me on Twitter! @Fishdogs
