I'm applying for my first round of Twitter job postings tomorrow in honor of "Labor" day (quite appropriate I think). I sorted through about 40 postings today and found eight that intrigued me enough to bookmark in my "Apply" folder. I'll read the full job postings tomorrow and apply to the ones that peak my interest a second time.
The jobs included public relations reps and advisers, marketing account execs and directors, and some jobs seeking project management experience (convenient since I'll graduate with a certificate in project management in addition to my marketing/communication master's degree).
I also built a profile today on the Florida State University SeminoleLink website and a "career portfolio" on the FSU Careers page. I'll post links to those once I've finished them. I mainly just provided links back to my official job search site at HireThatRedhead.com.
The career portfolio however has a very intriguing option to build a "skills matrix." In this matrix, one axis features "experiences," such as jobs, internships, and volunteer work. The other axis lists different "skills" such as leadership, research, and life management. You add items at the cross-points showing what skills you developed in which experiences. I'm looking forward to building my matrix and providing a link to it on HireThatRedhead. It seems like a very creative way to showcase one's work and life skills to potential employers.
