Job hunting can be exhausting, and the stress of not knowing when you’ll land a decent one, especially with bills piling up, can make anyone desperate to try something different. That’s exactly what a musician named Claude did.

Fed up with the usual grind, she decided to get creative. She turned to the dating app Hinge—not to find love, but to find work. Sharing her bold approach on X, she wrote, “I’m done with Indeed applications. I’m taking matters into my own hands.” Her post blew up, racking up over 2.1 million views.

Claude even shared screenshots of her chats with matches. Instead of the usual flirting, she cut straight to the chase, asking, “Are you hiring?” Sometimes she’d skip small talk entirely. Other times, when someone tried to charm her with a compliment, she smoothly flipped the script and steered the conversation towards job leads.
