The internet is moving past “shut up” – when someone does only the bare minimum at work and puts in only the effort necessary to get the job done.

Gallup’s latest employee survey found that nearly six in 10 adults in America are quietly quitting after the pandemic caused people to prioritize their “me-time.”

But a new trend has emerged that piggybacks on this premise: the “lazy girl” job. The term went viral thanks to a TikTok video with millions of views.

The premise of a lazy girl job is simple: low stress, low effort, with a lot of flexibility and freedom.

These jobs are remote, require no overtime, are physically safe, and have minimal to no supervision.

TikTokker @gabrielle_judge defined them as jobs with relaxed bosses and comfortable salaries that pay the bills but don’t require a chaotic work schedule. It’s the antithesis of the “girl boss” or “leaning in” movement – constant hassle and long hours to climb to the top.

What kind of jobs are we talking about exactly?

According to Workamajig, searches for “lazy girl jobs” are up 1267% in the past month.

Gen Zers in particular are interested. In fact, it is so popular that it has a Wikipedia page.

Workamajig crunched the numbers (TikTok search volume) to find the 25 hottest lazy girl roles. Together, #lazygirljob and #lazygirljobs have over 25 million views combined.

Using KeywordTool, according to TikTok and Reddit users, we analyzed different roles that fit the “lazy girl jobs” trend to find the most searched roles on TikTok. Data was collected by searching various jobs, such as “Community Moderator job,” and ranked by the number of TikTok searches they had on the app in the US on Aug. 10 to determine TikTok’s most popular “lazy girl jobs.” Search data is correct as of August 10, 2023 and analyzed over the previous year.

Maybe it’s the surf

Many complaints about the term come from those who say it paints a bad picture. Social media strategist Michael Durwin told the Wall Street Journal that the move makes sense, but the name is all wrong. “I think younger women almost use it in a way that they don’t understand the damage it can do,” he says.

But would the term have gone viral with a more acceptable term like “work-life balance”? Probably not.

Viral trick to get past AI resume screening bots

How can you get a lazy girl job? It’s time to start applying, but you need the right resume.

The algorithms that scan resumes are finicky – but social to the rescue again. Here’s a viral hack that job seekers say actually works.

It’s called “white fonts.” Copy the relevant keywords from a job you’re applying for, paste them into your resume, then change the font color to white.

The color change makes the keywords invisible to a real person reading, but AI bots will pick them up and potentially bump you to the top of the list.

It’s not always a guaranteed win, so be mindful of the process in which you sign up.

Some programs and job boards automatically scan your resume and insert sections into an application. If so, your white font could also slip through the human eye.
