If you’re looking for a job – start tweeting. How Twitter tops LinkedIn...

Networking is an important tool in a job search – and Twitter is taking the social media lead now...

The experts at Mashable have some tips on how to tweet yourself into the right circles:

• Tweet like an industry expert. Share links that are relevant to your followers, adding commentary to the latest industry news. This shows that you’re keeping up with industry trends and gives potential employers a look into what you read and care about.

• Use hashtags such as #jobs, #recruiting or #advice. You can get more specific by using hashtags which include your desired position, industry, conferences or events.

• Start following people and companies you’d like to work for. Retweet their tweets on occasion or make smart or kind comments.

• Once you’ve established yourself professionally on Twitter, try taking it offline. Send private invitations for face-to-face meetings or telephone chats.
