The Gen Z TikToker who made headlines last month after wandering the streets of New York in tears with a stack of resumes has finally found a job.

Rohani Santos, 26, is currently employed after a “humble” video she posted in late January received more than 25 million views. In the video, Santos, who was unable to submit her resume to managers in a desperate job search, is seen crying on the sidewalk as she speaks to the camera.

“If you’re that serious, I just want to be a TikToker,” she said in the video.

It appears Santos has fulfilled both of her wishes.

She shared with her followers in an update on Friday that she was hired to help produce a show on TikTok.

Gen Z announced last week that he is now employed part-time as a social media consultant for an unidentified company.

On the first day of the event, February 14, Santos showed off her pink and red work uniform 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 looking forward to it.

“I just came out of a very depressed mood in my life. Being able to be vulnerable with all of you on the internet feels like such a good thing is happening and I am so grateful.”

In fact, the influencer, who has a degree in acting and communications, was so excited that she arrived a day too early, as the first day was scheduled for February 15th. Still, Santos celebrated her good fortune with a big, greasy slice. She gave a look at New York Pizza in a video she shared with her followers.

One commenter called her an “industrial factory,” a notion that Santos took umbrage with. She said she expressed that her children would be Nepobabies, but she certainly wasn’t Nepobabies.

“I’m first generation and grew up as a single mother. I grew up on food stamps and Medicaid,” she said, reiterating that she “has no family ties to this industry at all.”

“I didn’t grow up around success. I saw success when I got to college,” the Pace University graduate said. “Girl, I made it on my own!

“I always wished I could be an industrial factory, because that seems like an easy life.”

Despite taking a break from working on stage, the theater graduate hasn’t given up on her dream of seeing her name in lights.

She admitted in another video that although she had been turned down many times over the past “five years,” “I still have hope.”

“I believe in myself very fully, very strongly,” she said Thursday. “I don’t care how many no’s I get because I say yes to myself.”

Santos could not be reached for comment at the time of publication.
