Forget typing up all of your work experience and a list of references and sending it to dozens of employers through job sites. TikTok video resumes are a thing now and you can start your job hunt in the time it takes to make a short video.

The social media platform is partnering with a bunch of companies including Chipotle, Target and Shopify, to connect users with jobs that range from entry-level to experienced positions. The new TikTok Resumes pilot program is being tested in the U.S. until July 31.

You can search for job openings from a bunch of companies on the resume site, record and post your video resume on the app and then go back to the job posting to submit your video resume.

Making a video resume is just like making any other TikTok, but you can specifically showcase the skills and experience you have that make you a perfect candidate so employers know why they should hire you. Also, it's important to use #TikTokResumes in your caption when posting your resume.
