Content creator Tanmay Bhat posts unusual job application, triggers online buzz

New Delhi: Indian comedian and digital creator Tanmay Bhat has triggered widespread discussion on social media after posting an unconventional job application form for a content producer role on his second YouTube channel.

Sharing the opportunity on X, Bhat wrote, “Hello, looking for a content producer for my second channel. Somebody into business, start ups, health, finance, pop culture (basically my twitter timeline) so thought I'd put it out here on Twitter itself. Here's a form to apply: Thank you!”

While public calls for applications are not unusual in the creator economy, it was the structure of Bhat’s application form that attracted attention. Instead of centring on academic credentials or years of experience, the questionnaire leans heavily into personal perspectives and cultural awareness.

Applicants are asked to share two controversial opinions they hold and reflect on their view of the meaning of life. Other prompts request the name of a favourite entrepreneur, a preferred subreddit, three recent tweets that stood out to them and an interesting insight about money. The form also explores candidates’ engagement with artificial intelligence, including whether they use AI tools in their daily routines and how.

In a nod to internet culture and health optimisation trends, the questionnaire seeks opinions on Bryan Johnson, the technology entrepreneur known for his highly publicised experiments focused on extending human longevity through data-driven health interventions.

Despite its unconventional tone, the form does include standard employment details such as name, age, location, current role, salary expectations and links to previous work.

Online reaction was swift and largely enthusiastic. Some users praised the originality of the approach, suggesting that reflective questions could reduce reliance on AI-generated responses.

One user remarked that the process appeared “probably tougher than IIT Bombay hedge fund quant selection process”, while another commented that “no MBA will prepare you for this interview”. Others described the questionnaire as “insanely cool” and “crazy creative”, framing it as closer to an intellectual exercise than a traditional hiring filter.

A number of users said they filled out the form for the experience alone, even without serious expectations of securing the role. Others used the replies section to list their qualifications and express interest directly.
