Job Search Experts’ Twitter Initiative

Get ready to take advantage of the Twitter Supercharger campaign, an exciting job search initiative by members of Career Directors International (CDI), a premier professional association for those of us in the careers industry.

You’ll find a running stream of job search related tweets under the hashtag #cdisst (tweets have been showing up in the hashtag stream for the past week or so), or go to the Twitter account of Laura DiCarlo, CDI’s Executive Director, @careerhero.

CDI has crowd-sourced content from members to “Supercharge Your Job Search”, on topics ranging from personal branding, targeting and working with executive recruiters, to best job networking and interviewing strategies, and so much more.

In short, sweet tweets, you’ll get “best of” free advice from leaders in the job search and careers industry. Tweets will be posted from May 23 through early November. All the tips will be compiled and published in a free ebook, which will be available in November.
