I have created an Excel document to track my progress when looking and applying for jobs. So far I have sent a few applications out to jobs within the gaming industry. Most notably Rockstar and Konami who are very famous developers.

Because of the algorithm on TikTok which enables you to get views and likes and followers simply by posting regular and consistent content, using hashtags becomes redundant as a way of getting attention. Whilst it wouldn't hurt to include them so my videos would appear with the other amazing lemon content on TikTok, I didn't feel it necessary to gain small success on the platform. TikTok encourages this "anybody can do it" ...
