TikTok resumes are particularly helpful for recent grads, as they remove aspects that may indicate race, class, ability, or gender. If you are applying for a non-public position, your TikTok resume will be more neutral, but if you&#8217;ve spent any time on the platform, you should make sure to demonstrate it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TikTok_resumes_are_a_useful_way_to_evaluate_candidates_for_public-facing_roles\"><\/span>TikTok resumes are a useful way to evaluate candidates for public-facing roles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A TikTok resume is a video created by a job applicant with the hashtag #TikTokResumes and submitted via the website of the same name. It allows applicants to include their contact details and LinkedIn profile. Employers can review these videos, as long as they are public. Interested applicants can schedule interviews with companies. This format is a great way to screen potential candidates for public-facing roles.<\/p>\n<p>Using a TikTok resume has many advantages outside of the platform. For instance, video is increasingly valued in a world where paper resumes are no longer an acceptable form of communication. In addition, almost 80% of hiring managers consider videos more important than other forms of communication, and they are especially useful in creative fields. In addition, a TikTok resume can give employers insight into what links people clicked the most.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_remove_aspects_that_could_indicate_gender_race_class_ability_and_so_on\"><\/span>They remove aspects that could indicate gender, race, class, ability and so on<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to counter this bias is to use video for hiring. This is particularly effective when focusing on the visual presentation of a candidate. TikTok, which has become incredibly popular, has been struggling to promote black creators. Last year, black creators staged a content strike to demand better representation in the platform. In response, TikTok rolled out an incubator program and announced grants for the development of Black content creators. Regardless of the technology, unconscious bias filters into the hiring process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_help_recent_grads_land_interviews\"><\/span>They help recent grads land interviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a recent grad, you might be wondering how TikTok can help you land interviews. This app lets you post one-minute videos and use hashtags to reach your audience. The millennial generation, who have been conditioned to watch short content, has become a coveted market for employers. The app provides tips and tricks on landing an interview, so savvy job seekers should take note.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Jade Walters has been job hunting since January 2021. She landed a PR internship with Ulta for the summer, but her motivation to land a full-time job quickly dwindled. Then, she heard about the TikTok Resumes program. The site allows employers to post open roles and invite young job seekers to submit a video resume. If they&#8217;re interested, employers will contact standout users and begin a formal hiring process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_neutralize_a_candidates_application\"><\/span>They neutralize a candidate&#8217;s application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a video resume on a popular video-based social media platform like TikTok will likely not get you hired. Unlike a traditional resume, your TikTok video should be public, which could create friction if you try to submit several videos to different employers. Moreover, a Facebook hiring manager may not be too pleased to see your TikTok video resume. TikTok is also facing a backlash from artists of color, who feel that their works may be negatively impacted by its racially biased ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>While TikTok maintains that it doesn&#8217;t share user information with ByteDance, the fact remains that it routed the applicant&#8217;s application through servers in China. This could violate the federal and state civil rights laws, particularly the California and Illinois Biometric Data Protection Acts. TikTok says that it doesn&#8217;t explicitly inform users of its Chinese ties. But it should store the video resumes anyway.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"288\" width=\"516\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HNsm5yZZOPM\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get a Job at TikTok If you are applying for a public-facing role at TikTok, you should create a &#8220;TikTok resume.&#8221; These videos are a great way to demonstrate your interest in the social media platform.
