Remember the TikToker who recorded herself getting fired – without her company’s knowledge – and then posted it on the internet? Well, she’s got a new job now! Despite people believing that Brittany Pietsch’s antics would make her unhirable, she’s now employed yet again. Will this new company come to regret its decision as the last one likely does? Only time will tell.
The New Job
Pietsch took to LinkedIn this time to reveal her new employment opportunity. She wrote, “I am so excited to announce I am joining the EQ.app team to help promote the launch of their new AI tool, EQbuddy! Before I entered the SaaS [software as a service] space, I worked at a staffing firm as a recruiter and account manager for several Fortune 500 companies. As anyone in recruiting knows (whether you’re a recruiter, hiring manager, HR, etc.), we rarely get to spend enough time to focus on the more human aspects of recruiting. When you spend over half your time just searching for candidates, analyzing resumes, sifting through several different sites looking for who may or may not be in the job market. It’s too much! When I tell you I would have KILLED for a tool like this. It would have allowed me to spend more time doing what I actually love to do in my job: connect with people and match gaps in talent with solutions.”
The Public’s Response
Once again, the public responded to Pietsch’s post. One person wrote the encouraging words, “Love to see this!” While another expressed their support by writing, “I’m so happy to hear about your new gig.” However, Pietsch is still on the employment prowl, as her new position doesn’t seem to be full-time. She said on TikTok that she’s “in the job hunt now looking for my next career move.” She explained her strategy by saying, “I’ve mostly just been going through all my messages, my connections on LinkedIn, my inquiries, I’ve made a list of companies that have reached out to me or those that haven’t that have always been on my bucket list. I’m using this opportunity to take my time, sift through everything, talk to as many recruiters and hiring managers as I can, making sure that wherever I am next is going to be the best fit for me.”
All we can say is, good luck to EQ.app!
