Scott Kelly — the man whose resume went viral at a Jonas Brothers concert broke his silence — and offered an update on his job prospects.
A video of a recruiter reviewing a candidate’s resume while Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas performed took over the internet on Tuesday, November 11, with the caption, “Scott Kelly, your resume was being reviewed at a Jonas Brothers concert tonight. Good luck.”
Kelly has since spoken out, telling The Washington Post, “I would’ve bet every dollar I own … that this would never happen. It’s nice for folks to have that much faith in a stranger.”
He continued: “My inbox is so flooded with opportunities right now. It’s hard to know where I’m going to start, but right now I’m working on growing my opportunities where I am.”
After the viral moment was shared on TikTok, it quickly brought in over 2.9 million likes and received more than 18.3 million views. The Jonas Brothers got in on the fun with Joe replying, “Bro, Scott Kelly was there for me plenty of times. Hired ✅.”

Kevin also showed his support.
“I’m one of Scott Kelly’s references,” he wrote before Nick added, “Scott Kelly’s work ethic and critical thinking inspired me to write the line ‘red dress.’”
The Jonas Brothers are currently on the road finishing off their Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour. Marking the band’s 20th anniversary, the concert has also been a celebration of their seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown.
“I think what fans can expect is that we are going to do what we can to give them the best show they can possibly enjoy every night,” Joe, 36, told People in July before kicking off the event. “Really have a fun time on the road, enjoy the fact that we get to do this after all these years and just try to bring something different.”

Joe expressed gratitude for the support from fans.
“Twenty years in now, still being able to do what we love for a living and have so many supportive fans and people that show up for these shows and listen to our new music and stuff, it’s why it keeps us doing what we do,” he continued. “I wake up every morning, [and] I’m ready. I get to do what I love for a living, so I’m happy to keep it going.”
At the time, the musician reflected on getting to make music with his brothers for two decades.
“We did a big tour last year or two years ago, it bled into the last year, but I think what we’ve really realized is that we wanted to bring a show for the audience that they felt like was something different from what they’ve experienced before,” he added. “We’re going to build a show with our audience, so we’re rehearsing pretty much onstage and playing some of these older songs that we haven’t played in so many years and see how they respond and what they want to hear.”
