The trend has only started for a while, but many people have been interested and shared it on their personal pages. The keyword First Seven Jobs alone has been searched more than 20,000 times on Facebook, and on Twitter, the trend of using this hashtag has been shared more than 14,000 times.

This is a trend of telling the first 7 jobs of each person's life. Although it is not required, most participants list the jobs that brought them their first income.

High-profile business leaders and celebrities have also jumped on the trend, listing every job they’ve ever held, from the most mundane to the most extraordinary (magician, insect keeper, etc.). Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who traveled to the moon on Apollo 11 in 1969, was one of the first celebrities to follow the #Firstsevenjobs trend. He shared on his Facebook account that his first job in life was washing dishes at a restaurant. Or Hollywood muscle hero Arnold Schwarzenegger also earned money by selling ice cream for the first time at the age of 10.

#Firstsevenjobs is a trend that is quite different from previous social media trends. The first difference is that it does not create a trend of rebuttal and cause a public storm. If with the Iceberg Challenge, many people protested because they were afraid for the health of the participants, then with #Firstsevenjobs, there is a trend of consensus and shared views among many groups of participants. This is also understandable because #Firstsevenjobs is simply a game that lists the past of the participants.

From the perspective of the participants, #Firstsevenjobs is an opportunity for them to recount their past experiences. It can be a sweet, interesting past, or there are jobs that evoke the hardships that the players had to go through. From the perspective of statisticians, #Firstsevenjobs is an interesting phenomenon, an opportunity for them to see the development trends of the young generation in each period.

Celebrities recounting their own opportunities through #Firstsevenjobs also inspires the personal efforts of individuals in the past to achieve fame and success in the present. It shows that standing at the top of success is never easy. And for recruitment social networks like LinkedIn, this trend has become a huge data that helps employers see the past of candidates and feel their own experiences in the process of doing the initial jobs.

Riding on the #Firstsevenjobs trend, other trends have also been created, such as #Firstsevenlanguages ​​where the IT industry lists the design languages ​​they have used in the past to work.
