Resume Templates survey found that 26 percent of the Gen Z respondents actually involve their parents in the interview process; 31 percent of those respondents had a parent accompany them to an in-person interview and 29 percent had them join a virtual interview. For those that said they had a parent come with them to an in-person interview, 37 percent of respondents said they had their mom or dad come into the office, and 26 percent of respondents said one of their parents physically sat in the room while the interview took place. For those that said they had a parent near them during a virtual interview, 71 percent said their parent was off camera, while 29 percent said their parent was visible on camera. The majority of on-camera parents spoke directly to the hiring manager, according to the survey. “It’s understandable, parents wanting to ensure that their child does well in an interview or that an employer is reputable. Conversely, it’s hard to see where a parent being directly involved in an interview is appropriate,” executive resume writer Andrew Stoner told Resume Templates. “It does not signal confidence to a hiring company on behalf of the child. I recommend a ‘help at a distance’ approach of being available and advising the child during the recruiting process.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Ive noticed that many of the younger gen z are very puritanical, anti alcohol and drugs, against an age difference of three years and up, going to their parents when things don't go their way and let them handle it.. strange times.

Blue Skies Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Im an older millennial and just about everyone I knew growing up did pretty cringe worthy stuff in retrospect. I was a real well behaved kid but would still sit in the back of my mom’s station wagon with no seatbelt with my face against the back windshield at times. It’s weird to me the Gen Z generation a lot of that behavior is just replaced with memes. It’s always a good thing regardless of age to have loving and supportive parents. But yeah it’s just different today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS. It appears teenagers in the 50s were more rebellious. But what is there to rebel against nowadays? Generations before them fought for all the freedoms and liberties they enjoy. Yet many of those young people are quite ignorant why they even have those freedoms, they may think society has always been this way. Even worse, they seem to take those freedoms forgranted which is a dangerous game which can be seen in the U.S. People in the U.S. thought no one would touch Roe vs. Wade and a womans body autonomy would be respected. Look at Florida and the bible belt states and their Anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Well, Generation Z is good at putting the blame on people while being unable to get things done on their own. Just look at the climate change movement. Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion. Blaming boomers for all that is going wrong with the climate as if nothing has ever been done in the past in regards to environment or climate. I remember very well what was going on in the 80s with dying woods because of sour rain and how polluted the rivers and lakes were. And people took on the challenge. Nowaydays the rivers and lakes are as clean as they have never been before The woods are in a better shape, but still in a dire situation. Now the issue is the climate and not the pollution. At the same time, Generation Z is worshipping on the altar of consumerism like no generation before them. The newest IPhone, this newest this and newest that. Do they care how those products are produced? For workers and environment alike. Just yesterday I saw a short on YT where one of those influencers did an ad for Temu. A pair of sneakers? 1 dollar! Great! Why care it only costs 1 dollar? It may have been produced in a concentration camp in China by a political inmate and most likely consists of chemicals that cause cancer. But what the heck, it looks great on Tik Tok. They tell others to drink water, yet they drink the wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolo Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I blame the parents. I am a parent myself and I can see how all this unfolds before my own eyes, against my better judgment. Kids get spoiled, they don’t even know what to wish for on their birthdays or Xmas. Weird times. They don’t go out, I must force them to play outside. They return after 30 mins because they’re bored. Everything on a screen is the only acceptable entertainment for them. I don’t feel hopeless yet, but it’s hard. They are used to getting everything instantly. I’m rather strict and there are things they won’t get from me, I won’t buy them skins or packages for stupid online games. They also don’t get smartphones before a certain age. Other kids in their school they seem to have everything I have as a grown up. No restrictions, full access to internet and apps, every gadget you can think of. I’m talking about 10 year olds. Other parents seem to pride themselves in giving their kids everything they want. It’s a certain demographic I won’t specify any further, but let’s say it seems important to them that they can afford these things and everyone gets to see it via their kids. Sorry for my slightly off topic rant. I just hope I raise them to be something more than a consumer. The obsession with brands and products even among the youngest is off putting and concerning.
