Note: This list has been updated numerous times, and I will continue to update it.
March 15, 2012, is the date of the latest update, which was a major revision.
This is my #Follow Friday list, consolidated and broken up by category. I’ve tried very hard not to leave off anyone who is making a great contribution, and agonized about leaving off several to keep the number to 101 of the most useful.
And, there are many other popular Twitter accounts which provide a mix of content with “personality” and they are not included here. But, they could still be useful to you – it just depends what you want.
Find all these Tweeps and more on Job-Hunt’s Job Search Experts Twitter List.

||||||||||||||||
Who is included here:
- These are the people I’ve judged best at providing good content in their Tweets and trying to help people with the job search/career management process.
- These people Tweet regularly, on topic with new, fresh information.
- For me, the signal-to-noise ratio is usually good – these people are not focused on self-promotion or sending many off-topic Tweets.
I am acquainted with many of the people in this list. I’m happy to say that several of these people have contributed articles to Job-Hunt, sharing more of their advice and expertise with the world. If they are contributing articles to Job-Hunt, their names have been bolded. But, that wasn’t a requirement for inclusion, obviously.
If you have suggestions about accounts which should be added, or even deleted, let me know.
Keep coming back. I will post new versions of this every month, and, of course, this is Job-Hunt.org – there will always be more resources added soon.
The EXTRAS
Many very useful and helpful people provide wonderful information that, while not specifically targeted at careers and job search, seemed worthy of inclusion. So these are the “Extras:”

Susan – Thanks so much for taking the time to compile this and for including me in your list. Using Twitter to propel your job hunt is one of my favorite topics, and this is a terrific list to help people who want ongoing, up-to-date job hunting advice from pros who are in the “trenches,” so to speak.
Susan,
Thanks very much for including me on this list. I’ve been amazed to learn of the number of people who are out there to offer advice and information to not only job seekers, but to those who are seeking to boost their current career. If you’re not finding help, you’re not paying attention.
Hi Susan,
Thanks so much for including me in this list – I am honored to be included amongst so many incredible people here. I look forward to learning more from those who I am not currently following but will be very shortly!
My very best,
Megan
Susan, thanks for putting this together and for including me.
Susan,
Thank you for including us. We work very hard to tweet valuable, useful information for our followers. It’s nice to be recognized. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! This list has so many fantastic job experts, and we are honored to be a part of it. I’ll be sure to add anyone who I am not already following. Thanks again, Susan!
Thanks for listing me (@resumeservice). I appreciate it, especially when you have listed EXCELLENT professionals to follow!
Don’t forget @debng – Deb is the owner of the Freelance Writing Jobs network and tweets job leads every day. She’s also a social media maven and always has the skinny on decent blog and community manager gigs.
Susan,
Thanks so much for including @careerealism on the list. I particularly love how you broke this down and was happy to see we follow a lot of the same great folks/groups. And yet, I found a bunch more to follow too. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Susan,
Thanks for this great list and adding me to it! What I think is important for readers is how and why you added this particular group:
” * These are the people I’ve judged best at providing good content in their Tweets and trying to help people with the job search/career management process.
* These people Tweet regularly, on topic with new, fresh information.
* For me, the signal-to-noise ratio is usually good – these people are not focused on self-promotion or sending many off-topic Tweets.”
That everyone here is constantly offering fresh, new information for job seekers without a lot of self-promotion is key. I think we all strive to do that. Thanks for noticing!

This is a great list, and I especially like the way you’ve organized the recommended people by area of expertise.
I see that your list is missing Sharon Graham, Canada’s Career Strategist, who posts daily career tips for six-figure job seekers, with no off-topic chatter. Her Twitter ID is @sharongraham.
THANKS for including me on your list! Also this type of list is super important for those job seekers. Great resource!
Susan – thank you so much for compiling this list. I am honored to be included among really great career experts. I follow and learn from many on the list and look forward to adding the others to me network.
You have helped me a great deal! Best Wishes! Joe
Susan,
Wonderful list!! You had several individuals that I missed in my own lists! I hope if you update your list in the future that you will add @JobAngels and @TriumphCIO. Both post extensively on job search tips and strategies, RT on other Twitterers’ job search-related tweets, and tweet/RT tons of job opportunities nationwide.

Susan, this is a great list! I follow all these folks and regard them as top notch. Thanks so much for putting this list together. It should be really helpful for job seekers looking for advice! Keep up the great work.
Hi Susan,
I am honoured to be included among your list of career experts.
I agree with @janetbarclay that @sharongraham should be listed, as well as @careerdev and @mypromotion. Sharon runs Graham Management Group, an organization that caters exclusively to 6-figure clients.
Thanks again!

Susan,
I know this will be an excellent resource for jobseekers as you have listed a very comprehensive collection of qualified career professionals. I have had the pleasure of working with a few of the names you mentioned here and I can vouch for the fact that their work is first rate!
Thank you, Shanen. Appreciate the corroboration! These people make excellent job search information available through Twitter for job seekers.
Thanks Susan…can’t type the list in fast enough to follow…best resource I have come across since I began this laborious process.
Susan, I am awed and humbled to be included on your list. There are some excellent experts on this list and I’ll strive to continue to provide great content on my Twitter stream.
Thank you for the kind words, Karleen! You provide excellent help to job seekers, and that’s what this list is about.

Hi I came across your post while looking for Twitter accounts relevant to job searches, and I think that your readers might enjoy @BaytJobs as well.
It’s the Twitter account for Bayt.com, where I work, which is the Middle East’s leading jobsite. We have over 40,000 employers of the likes of Qatar Airways, Shell, JW Marriott, and Pepsi hiring for great positions in Dubai, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and many other places. It will certainly add a new facet and a wide range of different opportunities that your users will appreciate.
Thanks for your post. Cheers!
