Viral Post: Endless applications, ghosted emails, and rejection after rejection—job hunting can feel like a brutal game with no winners. While most stick to career portals and networking events, one woman decided to take a completely unexpected route. Swiping through dating apps, she wasn’t looking for love—she was searching for a job, turning casual chats into career opportunities in a way no one saw coming.
Frustrated with traditional job hunting, she swapped LinkedIn for Hinge, turning romantic matches into career prospects. Instead of flirty banter, she got straight to the point—asking potential suitors if they were hiring.

Sharing her bold experiment on X (formerly Twitter), the woman gave the internet a glimpse into her unconventional job search strategy, leaving many amused and intrigued. In her post she highlighted her qualifications, stating she’s "currently an intern audio engineer/studio hand but is "willing to learn and do ANYTHING." Desperate to not starve," she emphasised being a fast learner, ready to take on any role that comes her way.
Shared just three days ago, the post quickly went viral, racking up 2.1 million views. Captioned, "I'm done with Indeed applications—I'm taking matters into my own hands," it struck a chord with many. Social media users flooded the comments, reacting to her bold and unconventional job-hunting approach.
The post sparked a wave of reactions, with many relating to the struggle. One user wrote, "It's genuinely come to this—nobody is hiring like they say they are." Another commented, "This is amazing, and I hope it works! Even if those random likes don’t lead anywhere, this thread going viral just might. I have a feeling!" A third user humorously added, "I’d say there’s a 40% success rate—mostly because they’re hoping to get closer to you since you’re hot."
