I think DJ Waldow would emphatically say that’s a good idea…emphatically mainly because DJ’s enthusiastic about everything, but also because social media helped him get his job at Blue Sky Factory!

Client Service Manager, Sales, and Support Specialist. I spoke with Elena via twitter, and she informed me that a lot of those positions had just been filled. I actually just met Jenn this past Friday at a yoga class and she gave me her e-mail and said that Blue Sky Factory might be looking for a graphic designer. I would love to get my foot in the door with such a great company. I actually live less than 2 blocks away! <br>Thanks for the good luck wishes for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler! I'm really excited! It will be my longest distance run and I can't wait till I cross the finish line!! Thanks so much for your response, hope to keep in touch! I applied to a few different positions maybe a month ago?

I would love the opportunity to work for Blue Sky Factory and have also been "stalking" tweets lately too hoping that the same type of instance happens to be as well! :) Twitter is simply amazing due to stories like these.

IMHO there's hasn't been anything like it really since email first emerged. I have had a few job offers that started from connections made via Twitter, I've also had consulting gigs, speaking opportunities, and just many great opportunities to meet awesome people who I may not have otherwise met. Like Dylan mentioned, personality and attitude has a lot to do with the success but the tools enable it. Congrats again on the new gig DJ!
