A new study has revealed that Twitter has emerged as an inherently ripe social network because of its huge professional audience and the unrestricted access it offers members to one another

The Society for Human Resource Management has found that 75 percent of companies use social networking sites to recruit job candidates and 66 percent of recruiters use Facebook for discovering talent, while 54 percent of recruiters turn to Twitter when vetting candidates, Mashable reported.

The new features in the micro-blogging site aim to make the network even more interactive, providing plenty of opportunities for job seekers to up their game.
