Twitter Certified Career Strategist Joins Elite Group
When Julie Mendez looked for even better ways to serve career-minded professionals, she decided to pursue world-class training through The Academies.
With reports of as much as a 10-to-1 jobseekers-to-jobs ratio in today’s economy, job seekers have a new ally on the job hunt. Mendez, Mendez, Resume and Job Search Coach with JSM Career Coaching, took time from her business to join an elite group of career professionals learning the latest on job searching via social media, specifically via Twitter.
Author Susan Whitcomb, nationally known leader in the careers industry and President of The Academies, Inc., and Chandlee Bryan, co-authors with Deb Dib of The Twitter Job Search Guide (JIST), facilitated the program—a comprehensive curriculum that reveals how Twitter is dramatically changing the ways that jobseekers find and identify positions and how they are landing jobs in a tough job market. Mendez passed the tests to earn the Twitter Certified Career Strategist credential, an excellent addition to her years of experience with job seekers.
To help people win and succeed in fully satisfying careers, Mendez now has even more powerful tools, including knowledge of:
- The secrets others have used to leverage Twitter to land job offers
- Building a personal brand, professional presence, and community on Twitter
- Using tools like TweetMyJOBS.com to be the first to hear about job openings
- Finding and connecting with previously inaccessible company insiders, recruiters, and other influential networking contacts.
“I can offer so much more than the sum of what I learned,” said Mendez. “And, I have an expanded circle of colleagues who share my dedication to partnering with people who want to manage meaningful careers and move forward faster.
“I’m excited about showing people how to use Twitter to turbocharge their job search and advance their careers—from people just entering the workforce, to those who want a better job, to very senior managers determined to make a greater contribution.”
