Job alerts 

On January 3rd the Disney parks TikTok account posted a video titled job alert announcing that they’re looking for a new content creator to join their team.  

With social media becoming a popular way to recruit new talent you can find many amazing job opportunities like the chance to work for big companies just like Disney. 

Find career coaching advice 

The TikTok audience is very different to the LinkedIn audience as its users are much younger so a lot of them haven’t even discovered their career path yet and are just starting to think about what they might like to do. 

That’s why TikTok viewers are able to get some really valuable advice from industry professionals or even just those speaking from personal experience, and this is especially helpful for the younger generation who need that extra bit of guidance. 

It could make or break your personal brand 

You can build your personal brand by sharing your industry knowledge. This could help a future job search or grow your networking pool and boost your career in other ways. 

If you’re not someone who’s a big fan of being in the spotlight then some other things you could do is create video content by using the footage of your current projects/work and you can utilise existing sounds that are trending in the background of your video. 

Another good idea for building up your personal brand is looking at Tiktok hashtags so you can see what people are doing around the world and this may give you that spark of inspiration that you might have needed. 

Social media opens doors for new job opportunities 

According to LinkedIn, three people get hired every minute through the professional networking platform. 

Social media can be used for networking, job searching and of course launching your career. Between Instagram, Facebook., Twitter, TikTok and Youtube there are so many opportunities just waiting to be discovered. 

In fact, nearly half of employers say that they are less likely to call a candidate for a job interview if they can’t be found online and that’s just for office jobs.
