Gen-Z TikToker gets social media job after posting video crying in the streets of NYC with a stack of resumes

A Gen-Z TikToker who went viral last month for tearfully wandering the streets of NYC with a stack of resumes has finally got a job.
Lohanny Santos, 26, is now employed after the “humbling” video she posted at the end of January received more than 25 million views. In the clip, Santos is crying on the sidewalk and speaking to the camera after unsuccessfully handing out resumes to business owners in a desperate job search.
“I just want to be a TikToker, if I’m being so real with you,” she said in the video.
Santos seemingly got both her wishes.
She was hired to help make shows for TikTok, she shared with her followers in an update Friday.
The Gen-Zer announced last week that she is now employed at a part-time job as a social media consultant for an unidentified company.
On her first day, Feb. 14, Santos showed off her pink and red work outfit for Valentine’s Day and excitedly shared the news with her followers.
“Oh my god, I’m so excited!” she said in the video. “It’s a part-time opportunity, but I’m really, really excited about it.
“I just went from feeling so low in life. I feel like so much good is happening because I was able to be vulnerable with all of you on the internet and I’m just so grateful.”
In fact, the influencer — who has degrees in acting and communications — was so excited, she showed up a day too early since her first day was supposed to be Feb. 15. But Santos still celebrated her good luck with a big, greasy slice of New York pizza in a video she shared with her followers.
One commenter called her an “industry plant,” but Santos resented the idea. She said she’s manifesting that her children will be nepo babies, but she sure wasn’t one.
“I grew up to a single mom on first gen. I grew up on food stamps and Medicaid,” she said, reiterating that she has “zero family connections in this industry.”
“I didn’t grew up around success, I saw success when I went to college,” the Pace University graduate said. “Girl, I’m self-made!
“I did always wish I was an industry plant because it does seem like an easy life.”
Despite taking a job off stage, the acting graduate hasn’t given up on her dream of seeing her name in lights.
She admitted in a separate video that she’s received no after no after no for the last “five years,” but “I’m still hopeful.”
“I believe in myself so fully, so strongly,” she said Thursday. “I don’t care how many no’s come my way because I say yes to me.”
Santos was not available to comment at the time of publication.
