If you haven't considered using Twitter in your job search, two recent articles discuss what Twitter is, when it can be helpful in a job search, and give you tips for tweeting.

This CNNMoney.com article, "Hired! One Laid Off Worker Found a Job on Twitter," focuses on the experiences of one particular person but it also gives you guidance on how to conduct your own search using Twitter.

The Wall Street Journal also discusses the potential advantages of  using Twitter, from both job seekers' and employers' perspectives, in  "A New Job Just a Tweet Away."

And if you are new to Twitter and don't know how to begin or if you need general tips and information about how to use it, the library has guides to help you get started:

All  a Twitter: A Personal and Professional Guide to Social Networking With Twitter by Tee Morris

The Twitter Book by Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein

Twitter For Dummies by Laura Fitton, Michael E. Gruen, and Leslie Poston

In addition, another good source to get you started with Twitter is Mashable, which  has put together a Twitter Guide Book  that includes an excellent article about How To: Find a Job on Twitter.
