According to Wikipedia:
Twitter allows the use of hashtags, a word or phrase prefixed with a #, such as #beer.[28] This enables tweets on a specific subject to be found by simply searching for their common hashtag.
To learn how to use and create hashtags, read Ultimate Guide to Twitter Hashtags by Ann Smarty.
I found the following 38 hashtags that are related to job searching.
#____jobs (fill in the blank with your city or state)
#career
#careercoach
#careerconsultant
#careermanagement
#careers
#employment
#greenjobs
#hire
#hireme
#hiring
#hr

Many thanks, Mark. That's a great addition to the list!
Here's another: #"City name"jobs...i.e. #columbusjobs or #clevelandjobs
A variation on one of Mark's suggestions above is #___job - for example, #php_job, #web_job, etc.
Great post... should be great help for Job Seekers on Twitter.
Also use: #splits
Used by recruiters to get help from other recruiters to fill open positions. Each of those splits are jobs that potentially may fit your background as well. If you find a match, get in touch with the recruiter that posted it... they'll be glad to get a candidate directly and not have to split the fee!
Add this hashtag #green_jobs in your list.
Nice list. Thank you! I'd suggest a group I co-lead with Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter: #careercollective, career coach and resume professionals collaborate to provide guidance for job seekers and careerists. Learn more at www.careercollective.net.
Question: I am new to hashtags and therefore don't use them as often, I am looking for work as my temp. job will be expiring..Do I put all the hashtags in every tweet? Or divide them up? Do you use them in every tweet or everyday? How frequent and at the end right?
Thanks for a reply!!
There are no right and wrong ways to use hastags. You can put as many in a tweet as you like. You can place them at the end of your tweet or incorporate the into your tweet. (For instance, I could write a tweet: When you #interview for a #job, but sure to ask good questions.)
Experiment with them and see what works for you. Perhaps going to the hashtag pages (put your hashtag words in the search engine) will help you understand how to use them in your tweets.
Twitter is growing very vast and there is lot of benefit to get from. This would help a lot of job seekers.
This is really a helpful hashtags and nice list. Tried this and very convenient to find a job posting easily.
