This girl went on Tinder to get a job and you WON’T believe the replies

If you've recently graduated or left school, then you'll know how difficult it is to find a job.

You might send out a hundred CVs and not get one response, which can leave you feeling pretty deflated.

That's what happened to Jessica Anderson, a 20-year-old graduate who studied at the University of Edinburgh. She told the Metro that she sent out over 150 CVs (to no avail) after she moved to London to find work experience.

She saved up throughout most of her college life so she could move to London, yet with the lack of job offers, she took a very different route to find work.

"I felt totally de-motivated, she told the paper. "Then I just thought – there are over 8 million people in London right now, a lot will be using Tinder – and maybe some of those using Tinder will know of opportunities or have contacts to help me."

Yep, TINDER. Instead of selfies and pictures of herself, she uploaded screenshots of her CV.

Jessica thought it would be a great way to get her CV out there – and she was right. In one day alone, she received over 500 messages, from people advising her on how to network, to others offering tips and tricks of the trade.

"I’m now in contact with different people working for organisations such as BBC and Sony and a big response from people working in marketing. A lot of people want to help and are impressed that it is a random but innovative way to find a job," she said.

Jessica is currently in talks with a few companies but said she doesn't have her heart set on one job just yet.

"My dream would be to gain work experience in broadcasting, but I’m ready for a challenge and would love to be involved in an internship over the summer where I can learn a lot from it. Watch this space."
