Anyone familiar with social media will know just how fast TikTok has grown since it was created back in 2016. So fast has its popularity grown that there are expected to be 3.4 million users by the end of 2023 in Australia alone. The great news is that as well as offering oceans of cat videos and life hacks, it also represents a rich resource for professional and personal development.
Do I Need Social Media For My Career?
Of course, social media isn't mandatory, and you can work on your work and interpersonal skills without using platforms like TikTok - but it may put you at a disadvantage. With no social media profiles created, employers will find it more difficult to find you. Platforms like LinkedIn are routinely searched by recruiters, so if you're not present - those opportunities are gone straight away.
What Tiktok Accounts Should I Follow To Grow Professionally?
Amongst TikTok's many content creators, you'll find some truly useful general career advice (and industry-specific assistance), so regardless of whether you're looking for work after completing your aged care courses or you're coming to the end of your teachers' aide course, certain profiles will help you grow as a professional.
Here are the top 5 we've identified…
