The Top Ten Job Tweeters?

Careerbuilder’s put together a list of ten Twitterers good to follow for job-seeking advice, but we don’t buy it.

Here’s the first half of their list and our thoughts:

@adriennewaldo
“About the author: Adrienne Waldo, a New York-based writer, consultant and blogger, made a name for herself when she began blogging about Generation Y.
Why you should follow her: Waldo, a Generation Y-er herself, offers advice as someone who’s in the same shoes as many of her equally young Twitter followers, but she also uses her experience to let followers know what employers are thinking.”
But we found: Links to cool things, questions about her business…basically, your typical lifestream.

@AlisonDoyle
“About the author: Alison Doyle regularly writes articles on job-seeking issues, ranging from interview advice to using social media appropriately.
Why you should follow her: She’s prolific, so you always have something to read, and she knows her stuff.”
We found: She doesn’t just promote her own stuff, and the first four links we clicked on were pretty useful. A keeper for job-seekers.

@AnitaBruzzese
“About the author: Anita Bruzzese is the author of “45 Things You Do That Drive Your Boss Crazy” and also writes a workplace blog full of tips and advice for employees.
Why you should follow her: She lets you know when she’s updated her blog, which is full of helpful advice. She also shares quirky, sometimes off-topic links that lighten the day’s mood.”
But we found: Off-topic links (granted, we should have seen that coming) and if we wanted to know when she updated her blog, we’d subscribe via RSS.

@CAREEREALISM
“About the authors: Careerealism.com founder J.T. O’Donnell and a group of job experts let you know when they’ve posted new advice for job seekers. They also respond to job seekers with career questions — in 140 characters or less, of course.
Why you should follow them: As a follower, you get to read advice from several experts who know what they’re talking about and give their own perspectives.”
We found: Lots of advice; plus, if you follow them, you can ask your own question. They answer two a day, Monday through Friday.

@careerdiva
“About the author: Eve Tahmincioglu blogs, publishes articles and Tweets on career issues.
Why you should follow her: Her advice is excellent and she often brings up issues you might not have otherwise considered.”
We found: She has a weird habit of rhyming all her Tweets, which is offputting, but the advice is good.

You get the idea; Careerbuilder’s list is about 50% useful and 50% padding, we’d say.
