Missed our #dreamjob Twitter chat? Here’s the recap
September 28th will go down in the history books for Workopolis. We hosted our very first Twitter chat! If you were too busy job searching to participate, we’ve rounded up the highlights.
The theme of our first chat was finding your #DreamJob, and we had some very insightful and entertaining tweets. We hope you learned as much we did!
Special thanks to York University Career Centre, Sarah over at Punched Clocks, CDA PEI, and the Student Life Network.

Q6: What you know or who you know? What's more important to get your #DreamJob? #WorkoWednesdays pic.twitter.com/M2LiiawYVO
— Workopolis (@Workopolis) September 28, 2016
A6: @Workopolis it's not who you know…it's the relationships you nurture and reputation you build #dreamjob

A6:Networking/personal branding + collaboration are all key to landing your #dreamjob or helping others land theirs!#workowednesdays
— Jordana Ross (@JordsRR) September 28, 2016
