The pilot program TikTok Resumes gives video creators a chance to land a new career. Companies like Target, Chipotle, and Shopify are inviting applicants to apply for jobs using video resumes. Rather than a cold piece of paper, you can let your personality and professionalism shine.

Create Your TikTok Video Resume
