Ah, Twitter — we love it, you sometimes love it…and clearly our President loves it, too.
But what if I told you that right on Twitter are a number of accounts to follow that will actually help you with your career, offering inspiration, and with directing you to leads on jobs?
Here are a few of our picks:
@ChelseaKrost
Why you should follow:
Chelsea Krost does not exclusively focus on careers for millennials, but she talks about and shares articles related to entrepreneurship, getting ahead at work, defining your brand and experimental marketing. Her #MillennialTalk Twitter chat, which also covers career-related topics for millennials on a regular basis, is also worth checking out every Tuesday at 8pm. It’s a great way to network, and who knows, maybe that’ll land you something.

@Indeed
Why you should follow:
Indeed’s Twitter account is not solely meant as a promo for its website — it’s offering up career advice through tweets and shared articles, too. While it guides users to download Indeed’s Job Spotter app through several promos, it shares articles tying together politics and the job market, industry trends, and lists of jobs for particular niches and personality types. An important feature of Indeed’s Twitter account is the consistent use of info graphics.
