Creating a professional resume has always been a difficult and strange process. However, it seems that Gen-Z have taken it a step further, sending CVs that don’t make sense and irritate their future employers.
One such experience decided to be shared by Amy Gastman, who uploaded a video on TikTok and goes through Gen-Z from… fourteen generations. “I had a girl send me her CV who saw fit to say she likes brat girl summer,” said Amy, a London bakery owner who is looking for an employee, and continued: “What is this brat girl summer? I don’t know. And why should she put that on her resume? What qualification is it? I don’t understand.”
“A girl called me bro during the interview. Of course I didn’t hire her”
Note: brat girl summer is the new trend on TikTok, created by singer Charli XCX, who calls it a stylistic life philosophy. Describing it, he said (more or less) that it was a girl “with a pack of cigarettes, a lighter and wearing a white top without a bra”.
And Amy didn’t stop there: “Another resume I received had no capital letters anywhere. Another said she hates working because she’s just a girl. I honestly don’t understand. It is so annoying to receive so many CVs and not understand what they are trying to say. I feel so old. I think I urgently need a translator.”
Amy’s video on TikTok exceeded 500,000 views in a short time, while many rushed not only to support her, but also to tell their own stories with strange biographies or interviews with members of Gen-Z.

“A girl called me bro during the interview. Of course I didn’t hire her,” someone wrote. While another said: “someone wrote that he’s never worked in his life but thinks he’ll be good because he spent a week in Ibiza without sleeping at all.”
In fact, some, wanting to explain the biographies of Gen-Z, pointed out that “this generation is trying in every way to show that it is different from the previous ones but it is doing it all wrong”.
