Writing TikTok off as a platform full of only mindless viral content is seriously misunderstanding what is already going on there. It's already become a place to share your expertise, regardless of the topic. I follow everything from public health experts sharing thoughtful opinions on the day to day of the pandemic, to dog trainers, to seriously skilled woodworkers sharing their talents.
Whether we like it or not, if I were trying to prove my chops in a particular space, I'd be creating content and building a following on TikTok, and sharing it with prospective employers.

- vmception 5y agoI’ve recently started asking people for their tiktok instead of their instagram or phone number, when wanting to keep in touch with someone after having a good interaction in person I accidentally look at people like they’ve grown two heads when they ask to find me on facebook, in person. Some communities rely on Facebook for coordination and so periodically I might actually have a Facebook account, but still. Yuck!
