Getting back to work: "Tweets" help job searchers | KGW

Portland Twitter Jobs was on KGW tonight. Excerpt from the story:

Getting back to work: “Tweets” help job searchers
09:27 PM PDT on Monday, March 30, 2009
By ANNE YEAGER, KGW Staff

PORTLAND — Lloyd Bagtas, 26, and John Brown, 26, have a lot of time to kill because they were recently laid off.

They worked as web programmers and designers for one of the largest interactive web companies in the country.

“You would know our clients. They are big names,” Bagtas said.

Bagtas won’t forget when he was called into Human Resources. “I really don’t even talk to my boss, he’s so high on the food chain. So when I saw him with the HR person, I said uh-oh.”

The company had lost some high-end clients and had to lay off 20% of their work force.

It was Brown’s first job. “It was hard. Everyone kept telling me, you’re not going to be laid off,” he said.

Both Bagtas and Brown have been on Twitter since it started two years ago. But for the rest of those who aren’t connected, it’s one of the hottest networking tools out there.

Portland Twitter Jobs

In these economic times, many people are discovering that using social media tools can be highly valuable to network, research, and find career opportunities.

A few months back, I started a  Twitter Logo twitter account (@pdxjobs) to syndicate good & interesting jobs I found across the net. Luckily, we live a great community here in Portland and many people have helped. From the beginning, other PDXers were sending me jobs to post. KGW even had me/@pdxjobs on “Live at 7″ to help people find jobs.

If you are on twitter, I hope @PDXJobs helps you. Also, send me jobs you find, retweet it & use #pdxjobs hash-tag so others can follow jobs across the search timeline.

Because jobs range a great deal, I created a few others that cater only to certain fields. They aren’t quite running yet but, they will within a week so follow them if you are looking for jobs in these fields
