Have you heard some of the newest stuff with new grads? They're bringing their parents to the job interviews! I had an HR manager friend tell me that he really appreciated them self emlinating from the position. I'm not talking about driving them to the interview, I am talking about sitting in on the interview and trying to negotiate for the grad. (Shakes Head)

I'm not in charge of hiring, but if I were interviewing applicants and someone brought their parents into the interview, they would not get the job. If they can't stand on their own two feet, they aren't ready for the real world. The only exception might be if I were choosing a baby sitter from the neighborhood - I'd want to know what kind of household they were from.

Sorry for the late response, I was doing my civic duty and serving on a jury today.

Absolutely, you wouldn't hire them for not being able to navigate in the real world. There's a term for it... I think it's called being a "helicopter parent". Very scary.
