Ecommerce Jobs on Twitter

ATLANTA, GA - Here's a round up of some of my Tweets from the last couple of weeks.  You can subscribe to my Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/ecommercejobs.  If I weren't so busy, I'd fill out some of these Tweets and make them full-blown blog posts.  There's plenty-O-meat here, IMHO.

1. JOB SEARCH TIP: "An SEO Recruiter's Advice to SEO's." Want more money, a shorter job search, and a better oppty? http://tinyurl.com/bqpxfv


2. DOWNLOAD OF THE DAY: 44-page ebook "Ten BIG Advertising Mistakes" by Jeff Paul, renowned direct response marketer. http://tinyurl.com/d9sodo  [Jeff wrote the classic "How to make $1,000,000 working from your kitchen table in your underwear" -- one of the greatest information products of all time.  Jeff's a Dan Kennedy protege, and Jeff has Game.]


3. TOTAL HELL: 300 applications / 11 months / 20 recruiters / 150 phone screens / 100 interviews / 1 job search. http://tinyurl.com/c8hh7z


4. QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Direct Response is not a media type, it’s a philosophy about advertising." - Tremendous blog post by Ken Robbins http://tinyurl.com/d8gsew


5. ADVICE TO CANDIDATES: "Companies who seem unreasonable during the hiring process usually ARE unreasonable." Do you really wanna work there?  [Really?  Do people ever really change?]


6. MORE ADVICE TO CANDIDATES:  Your resume must be COMPLETELY accurate.  Background checking companies are ruthless!!  Do NOT stretch the truth.  [You will get busted.  Happens all the time.  You're not as slick as you think.]


7. RECRUITING FACT: Clients, if your Google results include bad customer feedback and news of lawsuits, it's bad for MY brand to represent you.  [Seriously.  I have a brand, and it's doing pretty well.  And on the off chance that I take a search from a dicey company, my candidates always tell me about it after they research the client online.]


8. SOOOO IMPORTANT: "Brand Considerations When Choosing Domain Names." This article is gospel. http://tinyurl.com/czo8ef  [Recruiters, why don't you "get" this? Why? Your job is so hard anyway. Why not fight from the high ground?]


9. RECRUITING TIP: How does Warren Buffett determine "Which candidate has the most potential?" See http://tinyurl.com/cvklh7


10. NOTE TO SELF: Decline all search assignments where the HR manager says "you can download the job posting from Monster.com."

Still not on Twitter?  Well, get with the program!
