For developers who specialize in Microsoft SharePoint, job loss and the struggling economy can be tough due to the niche market SharePoint holds. The SharePoint Developer Network lists jobs nationwide on their site http://jobs.sharepointdeveloper.org/a/jbb/find-jobs, and you can filter results. All jobs posted on the site can be sent directly to your Twitter client by following @SPDEVNET on Twitter. The service started in December and plans to make the currently basic tweets into a more “customizable subscription service” with personal filters based on category or geographic location http://johnholliday.net/post/2009/12/20/SharePoint-Job-Tweets-Now-Available-SPDEVNET.aspx. SPDEVNET’s job board is “always up to date,” meaning the latest tweets from @SPDEVNET will likely be hot leads. Since using social media has become a daily routine for most of us, utilizing it for the job hunt is like a great idea.
