How a laid-off worker used TikTok to find a new job: 'You have to look at non-traditional ways of making those connections'
Antrell Vining told Insider that he"felt pretty secure" last fall in his position as a project manager at a major bank, with executives talking about the strength of the company and the market.
However, after sharing his experience of being let go on TikTok, where he has almost 40,000 followers @he landed a new position. In one of a few videos about being unemployed and let go, Vining told his followers he"just got laid off." "At first I kind of didn't take it seriously," Vining said."Because obviously getting referrals or a job through TikTok sounds kind of insane when you kind of think about it. So I didn't kind of take any of it seriously at first. But then, once I actually started following some of the people back so that they could DM me and I'm having conversations with them, they were very, very serious about giving me a referral.
