Desperate to Find a Job: Woman Asks Hinge Matches ‘Can You Get Me a Job?’

Desperate to Find a Job: The process of job hunting can often feel like an endless cycle of hope, rejection, and silence. You may emotionally touch base with ten opportunities daily, and while most never reply-or reject you after the actual job interview-the few that show initial interest still display grievous indifference after further contact.

Along with rejection after rejection, your expectations have to be lowered; in no time, you're looking for jobs you would have previously deemed unworthy of an application. And through it all, job portals can feel like black holes where applications go to die. Sick and tired of applying for jobs over and over again without getting any response, one woman decided to cast a wider net to secure employment.

Job hunt on Hinge

To this end, the musician termed Claude posted screenshots on X of various replies to men who liked her profile on the online dating app Hinge, asking them whether they were hiring for any job.

"I'm done with indeed applications. I'm taking matters into my own hands," she wrote, sharing the photos which garnered over 2.1 million views on X.

The screenshots didn't show her inquiring about job possibilities with any of her Hinge matches without any greeting but rather just accepting their compliments before "steering" the conversations toward job openings for which they were hiring.

"Love investment banking. One of my favourite hobbies. Can you get me a job?" she joked with another Hinge match.

Social media impressed

The unique approach to job hunting resonated with many on social media who appreciated her resourcefulness. "It's genuinely come to this nobody is hiring like they say they are," remarked one user.

"This is amazing and I hope it works. I mean, it’s probably not gonna work out from those random likes because I don’t think they’re gonna reply in an appropriate way, but this thread going viral is gonna land you somewhere. I have a feeling," said another.

A third user joked, "This is how most investment bankers get their start."
