Well, at least there was a Tweeter for hire. This Craigslist posting for a "Twitter Genius" is probably filled now that it has the attention of TechCrunch. But for a brief period there, you could have used your social media skills to secure a job as a social media marketer.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS JOB, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW EXACTLY. NO DEVIATIONS:

(i) Email me two tweets. The first should be about your experience. The second should by why you're perfect for this job. If you exceed twitter's allotted character count, you're done.

(ii) Email me your Twitter name in link form (e.g. www.twitter.com/YOURNAME)

(iii) Tell me how many followers you have and how many people you follow.

(iv) Tell me who's the best person you follow and why (in tweet form).

(v) Tell me what's the best way to get more followers (in tweet form).

(vi) Specific salary requirement.

IF YOU DO NOT SEND ALL OF THE ABOVE, EXACTLY AS I LAID IT OUT, I WILL NOT CONSIDER THE APPLICATION.

It's a pretty unique way to land a social media marketer. And I have to say, it makes a hell of a lot of sense. If someone is going to market a product online, they better have the skills to sell their potential employer. And what better way to show those skills than to, well, show them. I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see more of these types of postings. So if you're a PR/Marketing major, it would be best to get into this frame of mind.
