We are doomed.

Fortune

quote:

77% of Gen Zers say they have brought a parent to a job interview, according to a recent study by Resume Templates.


quote:

Among Gen Zers whose parents attended interviews, 40% say they sat in, about one-third say parents answered or asked questions, and over a quarter say they helped negotiate pay or benefits. Roughly 1 in 4 say parents introduced themselves or spoke positively about them to the hiring manager.

Having interviewed some of them….I think at least half are bringing AI into the interview.

That study also says 57% of gen z brings their parents to work with them. I get the feeling this "study" is just ragebait horse shite by some company to get their name out there

Some one has to give them a ride there since we know they don't like to drive and don't even have a frick buddy to bring them either.

If it is a video interview a very large number of them absolutely use AI to help answer the interview questions. They have entire AI programs that will listen to the interviewer ask questions and then immediately spit the answer out at the top of the interviewee's screen.

A survey came out previously that showed 20%. That was shocking enough. I don't believe 77%.

not much else gets the blood boiling like intergenerational warfare

"everyone younger than me is gay/stupid" is always going to be a popular take

Why do you amplify this obvious garbage? Do you have zero ability to discern truth from fiction?
I'm tempted to click link just to see how bad it's written and get a chuckle but refuse to be part of the problem. I guess Fortune has lost all credibility. Do you not understand the more stupid crap is shared, the more clicks and further weighting it gets in algorithms? You are just perpetuating bad ideas and falsehoods.
