A hiring manager recently explained to her TikTok followers what companies are really looking for in work interviews and the answer should give anyone who thinks it's a meritocracy out there pause.
One of the most valuable things we can get for free is the inside scoop on how the job market works from people who know what they're talking about. Because while facts about certain industries can be useful to know as a consumer, certain information can become relevant to almost anyone when it applies to the world of work at large.
So sometimes, we'll see career coaches and other industry experts spread their knowledge via TikTok, which then prevents as many people as possible from stumbling into the career pitfalls that ensnare people every day.
And while the words of one job recruiter can certainly be taken that way, they can also be interpreted as an indictment of the system of large and might even provide some consolation for those who didn't get their dream job.
