Gen Z and Job Interviews: Should Mom Get a Plus One?
This is the Daily Note. I'm James A. Brown. 1 in 4 Gen Z job seekers brought their parent to an interview last year.
That's according to resumetemplates.com they say another quarter had parents submit job applications for them. 13% even let mom or dad take that HR call. Hey kids, that's just plain weird.
I can't imagine this, but my mother, for better or worse, taught me to stand on my own two feet. Did we stop doing that? We hear a lot about Gen Z needing hand holding, and maybe they do. But this isn't on them. It's on their parents.
They should know when to let go. So what do you make of all this? Or am I missing something here? Let me know@jamesabrown.net or call me. Use 585-371-8865. On that note, I'm James A. Brown, and as always, be well.
