Best Buy says have 250 Twitter followers and active blog, or don't apply


  Don't apply for marketing job unless you have 250 Twitter followers

If you want to work as a marketing executive for Best Buy, don't bother applying unless you have 250 Twitter followers and have been blogging for a year.

Best Buy needs a Senior Manager - Emerging Media Marketing, so they added those two requirements. I guess they don't know about Facebook, or don't care.

The opening is posted on their website

According to the advertisement, the chosen candidate would be

"the primary lead for the Best Buy's mobile, social, and video marketing & media efforts to drive in-store and online sales, create sustainable word of mouth evangelists, and brand loyalists".

    Well that won't be much of an impediment, given all the auto/mass follow tools out there.

    I also see that the position already has been filled, so I guess everyone who isn't tweeting or blogging can go back to whatever it was they were doing before.
