Corn On the Jobs Top 25 Twitter Accounts for Job Seekers to Follow 650 Flares 650 Flares When I launched Corn on the Job in July of 2009, I was unemployed, and in my own way, starting a job search of my own.  To be perfectly honest, the end result was more of a life search to understand who I was, where Ive been, and most importantly, where I should be.  Much has come from that search, ultimately leading to the formation and launch of Bad Rhino Social Media, where I spend a great deal of my time these days. In Corn on the Jobs (nearly) three year existence, Ive been inspired by countless career experts.  Through email, online, phone, and in-person conversations, each of the experts Ive  interacted  with pushed me to be a better blogger for my audience here on Corn on the Job.  For this reason, I wanted to create a list to highlight my personal favorite career experts.  Top 25 Twitter Accounts for Job Seekers to Follow #1 @TimsStrategy  Tim Tyrell-Smith may not know exactly how much I respect and admire his work.  When we had a phone call at some point in 2010, I was immediately impressed and have enjoyed reading his helpful articles and tweets since.  You can check out his blog/website at  http://timsstrategy.com/blog/  and make sure to check out, 10 Signs You Are Being Lazy on Linkedin #2 @JobHuntOrg Started by Susan P.
