Get a Job With a Tweet

This is how you are going to apply for a job real soon. A company (BFG Communications) that was hiring set up a rule where job applicants must tweet through their Twitter account in order to apply for a job (social media related position).

Introduce yourself to us, be social and most importantly be creative in your response. We’re not looking for a generic cover letter. Show us what you can do. Go to Twitter, tweet your application to @BFGCom. Feel free to include links to your blog, a video, etc.

- this is the original instruction from BFG

No resume is required. No cover letter is required. All they want is a tweet. The key is ‘how you tweet’.

Of course, people are fighting over the position and there is a winning entry.

The winning tweet is:
