Here’s a new career path for you!

Meet the new Twittern: A college grad paid to send tweets on twitter.

Twitterns, interns who are paid to send tweets for companies, have become very popular these days. You could send out your resume stating your expertise is in the area of “tweets”! There’s Charlotte Barker, a recent graduate of the Loyalist College Advertising Program in Belleville, Ontario. They Integrated, Inc., a marketing and advertising firm, will pay Barker to send tweets all summer long as a Social Media Coordinator.

Which companies could use your assistance in tweeting this summer?

Volunteer ‘Cause Summer Jobs Are Scarce!

Rough summer job search ahead for teens

Teenagers may want to consider just volunteering this summer; recent research suggests that the job market for the 16- to 19-year-old crowd could be the tightest since the 1950s.

For possibly the first time since 1954, fewer than 1 million teens will find summer jobs, the Chicago-based outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. said today.

As discretionary spending plunges, the retail and restaurant jobs that are typically filled by teens are being eliminated, according to Challenger. Even the number of internships and lifeguard positions is thinning as teens compete with a larger pool of more experienced applicants who are desperate for jobs and willing to take a pay cut.

As a result, out-of-work teens are less likely to spend their summers dropping money on clothes, music or entertainment, especially because their cash-strapped parents are now less inclined to give handouts.

Teen employment has been declining for several years already. Between May and July 2008, 1.2 million teens joined the workforce, compared with the 1.6 million who found jobs in the summer of 2007, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As of March 31, 4.7 million teens were employed, compared with the 5.3 million working at that point last year. Granted, fewer teens have been looking for work in recent years. In 2006, 44% were searching or working, down from 52% in June 2000.
