Millennials and their challenges

With the covid-19 pandemic, the number of layoffs was extremely high. And, after this extremely challenging period, the boomers have seen it increasingly difficult for the young generation to enter the job market than when compared to the 1980s or 1990s.

Mike Kelley, a retired boomer, says that nowadays nobody wants to welcome you to companies to talk and deliver the curriculum, on the contrary, the process is all online and, in case of doubts, there is no one to to clarify.

In addition, there is great indignation about the lack of feedback from managers towards candidates. He adds saying that you only heard about the employer again if you are the new employee of the company.

What was it like in the old days?

Kelley says that in the 1980s, companies sent out very polite letters saying about not passing the selection process. Currently, they are not willing to give any type of position to the candidate.

Another important point is wages. Nowadays, they are much lower when compared to the old days. The benefits also enter into this line of reasoning. Research reveals that 84% of Millennials and 75% of Boomers would switch jobs to earn more.
