Quick News

If you want to check the latest news on the go, Twitter provides a great way to catch up on what’s going on through quick snippets of information. News broadcasters will often tweet the latest headlines, often updating with news as and when it happens. That means you can constantly be up to date with the significant events happening at the moment. Perfect for those who want to stay informed, or those particularly interested in a certain event that’s currently unfolding.

 

Finding a job.

When job opportunities come up, big companies will often post about their vacancies on Twitter,  linking back to their recruitment pages. Recruitment agencies, local news pages, and temporary work agencies will also often post job listings on their Twitters. By following these you’re provided a live feed of new positions as and when they come up, making Twitter very useful for everyone from those seeking a first job to someone looking for a change in career

 

Getting Help

Large companies, especially those involved in technology related industries, often use Twitter as a form of Customer Support. You can tweet your tech troubles to them and get fast replies and solutions to whatever problem you are facing. Twitter is also used as a great way to answer customer queries about queries about online shopping such as delivery times, prices and postage.

 

 

Looking after People’s Health
