In my CIT499 Emerging Technologies class tonight I was turned on to this site: 50 Terrific Twitter Tips for Job Seekers.  Considering I’m about to be graduating and have already been out on interviews, and not to mention how much I love twitter, I thought this was worth checking out.

The list starts out with some pretty basic stuff like using your whole name in your Twitter account.  Some things I didn’t think about is using Twitter to put out my resume or using some of the tools they have laid out there like TweetBeep that will track search words like you name and email you updates.

For any job seekers out there who realize your online identity is very important to the hunt this is somehting you need to check out.

I may have finally found what I’m looking for concerning RSS updates and the CIT FaceBook page.  RSS-Connect http://www.facebook.com/apps looks as if it may be just the thing I need for posting RSS feeds to the main wall feed.  I don’t plan on using this for anything like the CIT Twitter search but I do plan on setting it up for the official calendar feeds for the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology as well as the CIT departments calendar feed.

I spent several hours over the past week or so trying to find something that owuld work well and after viewing some other schools using this exact same app I think this will work out.  So keep your eyes peeled to your FaceBook wall feed for updates coming from CIT@IUPUI.edu!
