The New America

[Coyote]

It seems that GenZ needs to have some support when going to a job interview in The New America.
What's up with that?

More than half of the employers said young recruits struggled to make eye contact during the interview, and 50% said they asked for unreasonable compensation. Almost half of the employers said a young job candidate showed up in inappropriate attire, and nearly 20% said a recent college grad had brought a parent to a job interview.
Of the employers who said they prefer to hire older job seekers, 60% said they would be willing to offer more benefits to attract them, 59% said they would offer higher salaries, 48% said they would allow remote or hybrid-working opportunities, and 46% said they would be willing to hire overqualified candidates.

Young professionals also appear to have a reputation for being difficult to work with. Nearly two-thirds of employers said it was "very true" or "somewhat true" that recent college grads are "entitled," while 58% said it was very or somewhat true that they "get offended too easily."

Nearly 60% of bosses said it was very or somewhat true that recent grads are unprepared for the workforce, with more than half agreeing that young professionals "don't respond well to feedback" and have "poor communication skills."

A new survey found some employers favor older workers because young professionals aren't making a great impression in job interviews.

That is just sad…but true…I see it in incoming college students. And the helicopter parenting style

 

[martybegan]

Do parents really have control over the school teaching them the thousands of pronouns and their gender cult, or teaching them they are either a victim or a victimizer because of the color of their skin, or teaching them subpar math and science so that they can't get good paying jobs?

Not really.

Parents can have just as much influence, but many of them have given it up to the schools.

Education quality is subject to the demands of parents. If daddies are missing and mothers expect schools to fill that void, garbage education is the result.

White trash Texas has daddies and mommies and lousy public education.

A complete education to grade 12 is not a factor or a necessity for something like 2/3's of job requirements. Europe deals with this fact effectively.

The article I took the screen cap was was from a report in 1996.

Every generation talks about how ill prepared the next generation is.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Don't forget garbage parents.

They are far more responsible than the teachers

This is good news for those that have been raised correctly.

My daughter had a first interview yesterday with a new company. It was over Zoom, after it the Rep asked if she could meet in person for a a casual talk. When she got there there was an extra person who did not get the memo about a casual talk and proceed to grill her. She was ready for it and kicked ass. At the end the only "negative" is when the Rep told her he is not sure the job is big enough for her. But she has one more next week and already has been given the sign the job is hers if she wants it

Isn't that laying too much of the blame on the education system?

The education system is providing them some contact with other real people at least.

The Ruling Class Must Preach What It Practices at Home

Any country that replaces this unnatural and unmotivating class-biased indentured servitude with highly paid professional training will leave America's economy in the dust. And deservedly so.

As a direct substitute for corporate tax, companies will recruit the best students and not only pay tuition, but far more importantly, pay them an adult salary. This is what the sons of the plutocrats who mandate this slave education get.

The bonus given to a talented 18-year-old baseball player are equivalent to that, and has paid off for the clubs (250 times the investment in Derek Jeter's case). The minor leagues are nothing more than baseball's college education.

Not in baseball, but within education, the clue to the problem may be in looking at the most successful education system known to the world?

We don't need corporations having an easy time finding workers. When they struggle that means a much healthier economy.

Mostly true - and one can only blame their parents.
Which is exactly the same generation and group, that is laying blame onto today's youth and the younger generation.

And the generation of my parents - laid the same blame onto us.

Except when schools start thinking they can replace parents, like with this whole hiding trans shit thing.

if a parent is engaged with their children that could never be hidden.

Wanna bet?

School encouraged child’s gender transition: Parents

So you have parents that were not engaged with their child and are blaming the school

 

[martybegan]

So you have parents that were not engaged with their child and are blaming the school

How do you know they weren't engaged?

That's an assumption based on facts not in evidence.

Schools can only do so much, but the line is crossed when they go to active interference.

Based on the fact the child transitioned without them noticing

 

[martybegan]

Based on the fact the child transitioned without them noticing

Because the school hid it.

Kids don't tell their parents everything, no matter how engaged they may be. If you read the article they realized she was having issues at school. What they didn't know is the teachers were treating her as a boy.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

A child who lives in your house cannot hide a transitioning if the parents are engaged with the child.

Depends on the level of transitioning and where they act out their transition.

No, it does not. The child who lives at home and is engaged with parents cannot hide any behavior.
