Gen Z is making career moves based on TikTok advice. They say it's working for them - Fortune

In a surprise to no one, Gen Zers and millennials spend way more time on their phones than they should. But what they’re doing on their devices may surprise you—many are looking for career advice from where else but TikTok, which has seen a rise in career-coach-type influencers.

Gabrielle Judge, 26, runs an “Anti-Work Girl Boss” brand that encourages her nearly 170,000 TikTok followers to find meaning outside their careers. Laura Whaley, whose niche is creating quick scripts for workers navigating awkward or daunting office conversations, boasts over 3 million TikTok followers. Wonsulting, another TikTok career advice account, boasts over 835,000 followers and shares résumé tips and pointers on optimal LinkedIn usage. The duo behind Wonsulting offer individualized job coaching for anywhere from $147 to $1,497, Fortune reported.

With career influencers like these flooding the TikTok zone, it makes sense that half of Gen Zers and millennials are getting served specific career advice on the app, per a new ResumeBuilder.com survey of 1,000 workers aged 21 to 40. And many are listening—36% of that group are taking creators’ advice, and they’re pretty satisfied so far. Nearly all (88%) of those workers say the moves they made based on TikTok advice has had a positive impact on their lives—just 2% said it came back to bite them. And most TikTok users report being quite trusting of the advice—Gen Zers especially.

Matthew Perry changed the way America spoke - The Economist

It is impossible, now, to watch it in the same way. The emphasis has changed—and emphasis is what matters in comedy. He’d always known that. The words, the sentence, the scene can be the same but alter the emphasis—lean a little harder on this word, push a little on that one—and the joke is transformed. He and his friends had played with this when they were at school. They’d developed their own way of speaking. “Could it be any hotter?” they’d ask. “Could the teacher be any meaner?” It changed everything.

Emphasis was always his thing—it had got him the part in the first place. Everyone had wanted to be in “Friends Like Us” but in the audition it was he who had nailed it, reading the words in that unexpected way, “hitting emphases that no one else had hit”; making everyone laugh. It was less that he, Matthew Perry, could play Chandler than that he was Chandler. He changed the part—and then the part changed him. Fame, fortune, money followed. And above all, The Big Terrible Thing. The thing so big, so terrible that it would demand emphatic capitals; cause him to return to rehab 14 times—and change the emphasis of those jokes for ever.

Watch “Friends” after everything that happened and suddenly it seemed different: not simply a sitcom but a chronicle of his decline. Take that episode in season three, the one titled “The One With The Hypnosis Tape”. Later people saw it instead as The One Where You Could See How Thin He Was. By then, he was addicted to opioids which had left him vomiting and all but unable to eat. Anyone watching that season should, he thought, be “horrified” by his thinness. Everywhere, hindsight makes the lines land differently. Take that episode in season one, where a shrink turns up and starts to analyse him. “You’re so funny,” the shrink says to Chandler. “I wouldn’t want to be there when the laughter stops.”
