There’s hardly anything that can’t be done online these days. Be it ordering food or groceries to even finding a partner, you name it and there’s an application for it. The lonely ones looking for a date can be seen swiping right on dating apps in the hope to meet their soulmates.
But this Twitter user, desperate to land a job, saw dating apps as an opportunity to get himself a job. Taking to Twitter, a guy named Adnaan shared a screenshot of his conversation with a person he managed to kickstart a conversation with on the famous dating site Bumble.
Their conversation started with the other person (probably a female) informing him that she is in Human Resources (Talent Acquisition) at a startup.
Adnaan quickly decided to let her know that he is doing masters in electrical and computer engineering. Skillfully, he then asked her if she could land him a job at the startup she was working with.
And to his surprise, rather than being annoyed by him, the woman hilariously responded that she was about to ask him what jobs are he looking into.
Read their conversation here:
Sharing the screengrab, Adnaan wrote, “you use LinkedIn for jobs I use Bumble we’re not the same bro.”

Interestingly, his efforts bore fruits and he would be finally interviewing for a job at the company.
I’m interviewing here just finalizing the dates haha

People had a quick laugh at the way he flung to action and got an interview lined up on a dating app. This is how people reacted online:
Aur yaha mujhe log Linkedin me bhi ask out kar rahe 😂😂

Bro you at least put this in good humour, I have seen screenshots on this platform about a girl complaining that she is not responsible for recruitment and etc.. in bad taste.

Long ago there was a meme which said, any app is tinder if you are Indian enough. I guess in the age of layoffs, out priorities have shifted😂😭

IMO you’re just doing god’s work by balancing out the people who are flirting on LinkedIn by recruiting on bumble

Being an HR myself (not into Talent acquisition), it feels closer to home 😂
