"I have had to shift my strategy over the years and now, what is working best for me, is Twitter! I have started to post and hashtag new openings, generally with a #nyctempjob or whatever the initials are for the job location. These posts get shared, and lately, about 1/2 of my interviews and calls are coming from someone who saw my Tweet."
