I Completed a Company Hunt Via Social Media and Here’s What Happened

Why did you complete a Company Hunt via Social Media?

I decided to complete a Company Hunt on Social Media as another way of actively seeking employment, and to prove to the Job Centre Plus that I am trying my best to look for suitable employment.

Where and when did you complete a Company Hunt on Social Media?

I completed this Company Hunt via Twitter on Monday 19 August 2019.

What companies did you enquire about vacancies?

I enquired about vacancies to 45 companies I am following on Twitter. They include:

• Accessorize
• Aldi Stores UK
• Apricot Clothing
• Argos
• Charlies Deli
• Co-op
• Debenhams

What will happen next?

I will wait to see what responses I receive from the above companies, and I have scheduled a blog post for Thursday 22 August 2019 with the outcome of all of those companies who have responded.

Conclusion

This definitely felt strange looking for employment through Twitter, as I feel Twitter is not a ‘Professional’ networking site.

However, I did enjoy the experience and would consider using Twitter again for future Company Hunts.
