WASHINGTON (TND) — A recent survey found nearly 40% of employers avoid hiring recent college graduates in favor of older employees.
Survey reveals tough job market for Gen Z grads due to employer preferences (TND)
According to Intelligent.com, Gen Z college graduates are struggling with many aspects of professional life.
Their survey of 800 U.S. managers, directors, and executives who are involved in hiring, found these key results:
38% of employers avoid hiring recent college graduates in favor of older employees
1 in 5 employers have had a recent college graduate bring a parent to a job interview
58% say recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce
Nearly half of employers have had to fire a recent college graduate
My god y’all are entitled little bitches.
“They’re hiring people with life and professional experience vs. ME! I got a piece of paper and the world owes me all the things!”
Yes, generally speaking, GenZ has it worst of all. They got it worse than the Boomers, GenX (me) and the Millennials. No doubt.
But maybe the constant whining and bitching has something to do with being a pain in the ass to employ?
My small employer is wildly liberal (and successful!), not good enough for GenZ. Not HR, but I onboard all the new people and I can tell who will last and who won’t given their age.
People invest insane amounts of money in a college degree. After spending years to earn that “piece of paper”, hoping for a decent job in return isn’t entitlement.
These are people who are looking for an opportunity to earn money; they’re not expecting a handout.
Huh? The degree is a gamble. You hedge the bet by getting good grades, networking, and leading your industry on needed skills. If you don’t graduate with attractive skills, you attended a social club.
