You spend hours scrolling through the TikTok “For You” page every day, watching funny, sad and exciting content from people all over the world. Hours can go by when watching TikToks and you can’t even see the time when on the app. TikTok is a platform to post videos, but it’s also a place where you can learn from people working in your field, as well as learn how to rock your LinkedIn profile or resume. I follow some people that review resumes, give internship opportunities, and share their day-to-day lives working in their job. Here are some cool career TikTok influencers to follow to help with your career:
1. @chrristen
Christen currently works at TikTok but has also previously worked for Pinterest and Instagram. She gives daily career advice about landing jobs and internships! She also hosts 1:1 career advice sessions on a first come first serve basis. Some of her TikToks discuss the “4 ways to make you stand out when networking” and “the 3 job sites that have helped me land positions in tech.” I love her advice and I highly suggest following her if you need career advice or want to land a job in tech!
Angelica Song is a UC Berkeley student who posts content for both high school and college students and calls herself “ur college sis”. Her most-recently posted content is about what you can do with your major and what kinds of jobs you can get. She promotes that your major doesn’t matter for the most part and to build the proper skills for the job you’re interested in!
