JOB seekers in Oxfordshire can look for new opportunities on social networking site Twitter.

Jobcentre managers in Oxford are now posting job vacancies at twitter.com/ oxfordshirejcp Employment adviser Chris Asquith, who works at Oxford Jobcentre, has helped to set up the link.

He said: “The jobs being advertised on Twitter are those that people visiting our offices in Oxford, Abingdon and Didcot could see if they came into our offices. More and more people are using social networking sites these days so we thought it would be a good idea to advertise jobs on Twitter.

“This only launched last month so it’s too early to say if we have succeeded in getting people jobs through Twitter, but the feedback we have been getting from job applicants is certainly positive.”

Mr Asquith said the Twitter page would contain the latest local job and training opportunities.
