“Don’t hire them.”
I don’t. An example: A family member who is a millennial asked me to reach out to my talent acquisition manager regarding a job she saw on our careers page. I already helped my daughter who is also a millennial get a job with the company. My daughter is working her butt off for 70k a year with 5 years experience. My other family member, with less than 2 years experience is looking for a coding job and a 6 figure salary.
Her resume was awful. I helped her fix it for submission, but still, I’ve been in IT for over 30 years, certs out the wazoo, degreed with MBA in 6 months and she is looking for a position and salary which matches mine.
I didn’t have the heart to tell her that the job market has changed dramatically in the last 2 years and companies are no longer shelling out big bucks for people with her minimal skill set.
Leftwing millennials just do not get it. My two millennial children work very hard, expect no special treatment and understand what the business is looking for and how they add value.
Nope. She either goes for five figures like most of us, or she doesn't go. It's similar to my situation: I have a good resume, but my programming experience was so long ago that I simply wouldn't be a good fit for most programming jobs. That's what one manager told me recently, but he said the company would be happy to have me in a technical support role and even gave me suggestions to improve the skills section of my resume, which I'm taking to heart.
