Aw, c’mon now–let’s not exaggerate!
What images does the phrase “advising the child ” conjure up for you?
“Ooh-ooh! I know! A 27-year-old Gen Z job applicant bringing his mommy and daddy with him to his job interview!”
Tut-tut. According to a survey by Resume Templates, that description applies to a mere 26% of Gen Z job applicants (https://thehill.com/business/4711312-26-percent-of-gen-z-applicants-bringing-parent-to-job-interview-survey/).
Sheesh, My parents were already my parents when they were 27.
Obviously–must I be bold, to say this?–assuming the “child” (27 years old) lands the job, neither daddy nor mommy will come with him to work every day to make sure he… uh, works. Do you think the employer will have high expectations of this new employee?
I don’t think I would.
