Beware of these 3 viral job trends that could destroy your career: experts

These fake career influencers are getting their pink slips.

The platform could do more harm than good to your career, experts warn, as “#CareerTok,” a corner of the app brimming with job tips, could derail your trajectory.

Jasmine Escalera, a career expert at Zety, told Newsweek that some online trends may seem like a smart way to cut corners at work, but they can destroy employees’ progress.

For starters, “white-fonting” — which involves writing keywords from the job description in white font on a resume — is a massive resume fake.

On TikTok, scammers hailed the so-called “hack” as “flawless,” but Escalera warned applicants against it.

“Although it seems like a smart solution, using white font can backfire,” she explained. “Recruiters are aware of this scam and often see it as a scam, which can lead to a loss of credibility and trust.”

Next on the chopping block is “#QuitTok,” or bragging that you quit your job.

The trend – the opposite of “quiet exit” – surged in popularity a few years ago, as Gen Z employees proudly shamed their employers and revealed why they left their roles, some even going so far as to leave during filming for TikTok.

“Posting one’s resignation on TikTok may gain instant attention, but it also raises concerns about discretion and professionalism,” Escalera said.

“Potential employers who find these videos may see them as a red flag, questioning whether the individual will exhibit similar behavior at their company.”

Finally, participating in “minimum Mondays,” or BMMs, a term coined for scraping by doing as little work as possible on the first day of the work week, poses a risk to your reputation.

Creator Marisa Jo Mayes used the strategy to prevent burnout when working, previously telling The Post that doing the bare minimum actually made her more productive for the rest of the week.

Escalera, however, believes the trend can damage your reputation, making you a lazy employee.

“This trend promotes the idea that coasting through work early in the week is acceptable,” Escalera said. “While self-care is important, consistently doing the bare minimum can create a perception of laziness or disengagement.”
