I don't use tiktok myself, but from what I've seen their core user group is (mostly young) people doing irresponsible and silly things to get views on the platform. I don't think showing how irresponsible you are is the best way to convince an employer to hire you. Maybe this will work for certain positions like "social media manager" that some companies have, but as a general job board it will conflict with the main use of tiktok.

TikTok isn't all that different from YouTube. Like YouTube, you can find a lot of stupid or outright irresponsible content. But also like YouTube, there is a ton of amazing, informative or outright entertaining content on the platform.

In short, TikTok is whatever you want it to be. Just like YouTube.

Whenever you aren't the target audience, you can't assume that what you've seen is a random sample. Presumably, you were the target audience for whoever was showing you those videos of people doing irresponsible things.

I use it sometimes and most of my feed is just funny commentary by people in similar life situations or who have similar viewpoints. I'm sure there are people doing irresponsible things, but I just wanted to chime in and say that it's not strictly for hooligans.

I don't think so. There are a ton of companies that are desperate to fill positions right now, and Gen Z teenagers probably don't qualify for unemployment benefits, so they'd be willing to take a shitty job for some cash.

Plus, maybe the idea that someone needs to present themselves a certain way to the public to be hirable is a millennial thing. This could be a glimpse into the future of a world filled with Gen Z adults, who have internet culture and mannerisms in their DNA.
