The job search landscape for young people has become increasingly complex, with rising experience demands and high unemployment rates. While platforms like Instagram and TikTok can be beneficial for discovering job opportunities, they also present risks of scams. Users like Davida Padi share experiences of finding internships through social media but remain cautious about misleading ads. Experts recommend using these platforms strategically, leveraging TikTok for industry trends and LinkedIn for deeper insights into potential employers. The challenge lies in discerning credible information amidst a sea of advice.
In 2022, Davida Padi, now 22, said she got an internship because of a post she saw on TikTok. Now, because of the content she engages with on Instagram, she thinks the platform serves her ads for potential job opportunities.
Ashley Rudolph, a performance coach who founded the company Work With Ashley R, told Teen Vogue she recommends leveraging social media to find out more about somewhere you might want to work, or the people who work there.
