Improving your career one TikTok at a time
Since March we’ve all spent a lot more time at home, leading to lots of baking misadventures, skyrocketing screen time, and hours of online shopping. Since then, TikTok — one of the new kids on the block — captured our attention with its addictive dance, lipsync, and humorous content. I mean, who hasn’t accidentally spent a whole day in bed scrolling? Just me? Ok…
But TikTok isn’t just for millennials and Gen-Zs to mindlessly “renegade” to their heart’s content; it’s a thriving creative community that champions individuality and innovation. The platform is even known for popularising content that educates, organises movements, and inspires change!
So what advice can TikTok users give you about your current or future career?
