In a moment when a generation raised on short-form video begins its search for livelihood, TikTok has stepped forward not merely as entertainer but as intermediary between ambition and opportunity. The platform has launched tiktokresumes.com and an official hashtag to formalize what was already happening organically: young workers using 60-second clips to introduce themselves to the world of work. This is less a disruption of hiring than a recognition that each generation finds its own language for self-presentation, and that the institutions of employment must eventually learn to listen.
