86 Million Strong...

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers....

This post is dedicated to those who "help the seekers"...yours truly included...
There are 86 million millenials (that's 7% more than the Baby Boomer generation) ...and...the 18-29 set is actively enrolled in the talent pool.
These bright, eager and highly educated people are not "experienced". We, as hiring professionals are keen on finding high potential, bright candidates who posess a superior level of learning agility.
This population certainly meets that criteria! But, they are inexperienced.
Baby Boomers followed the path of....decide what you want to study...study it...and...good, bad or indifferent...this is your fate...
The millenials on the other hand....test...chance....and redesign...we admire them...if they crash and burn and they change their course...
The next time you decline a millenial because they are inexperienced or the interview is not as "crisp" as you would like..
THINK:
Will Steady Eddie make the next discovery??...or are you looking for a Magellan...an explorerer who will create!
