College graduation season is finally upon us, which means a whole new class of college graduates across the country are now facing the question: So, what are you going to do now? There are a lot of different paths people take after graduating from college, from moving on to more education, like grad school or med school, or even taking a year off to travel. But one of the most common paths will be that students will try to land their first full-time job and officially enter the workforce.
However, landing a job sounds a lot easier than it actually is. These days, when it isn’t uncommon for recent grads to submit hundreds of job applications before finding a role, it can feel daunting to even get started with the process. It’s overwhelming, frustrating, and upsetting at times, and even more so if you feel like you’re going through the process alone.
But the good news is that there are a ton of resources for college graduates out there to help them land their dream job, and one of the most helpful resources might be hiding in plain sight: on social media. There are so many influencers out there who focus on career advice and helping people find jobs that are right for them, and even after landing a job, these creators can be super helpful for tips and tricks when you’re starting off on your career journey.
So, here are 10 TikTok accounts to follow for all job search help and post-grad career advice.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
