Earlier today I initiated an experiment to hopefully help me find my muse for a #140conf proposal. I am blogging it here in hope of expediting the process. I am curious can twitter’s vast connectedness be used to connect a job seeker to their dream job?
In order to riddle this quandary out I have posted my resume on my company site http://olivent.com/resume in hopes of generating a huge volume of traffic. I followed this up with a casual tweet to my limited network of tweeps asking everyone to retweet liberally.
EXAMPLE::
#140conf experiment: Can twitter connect a computer genius http://bit.ly/8p1tQ5 to their dream job ..please retweet
I am using bit.ly to help track the traffic to the resume views. Hopefully I’ll cull enough data before the deadline to draft a decent proposal and get accepted to speak at NYC’s #140conf this spring. I know there isn’t a lot of time so please ‘Retweet!’
Thus begins day 1 of the experiment.
