Mind Your Business: What Gen Y Job Hunters Need to Know

By Jeanette Mulvey, BusinessNewsDaily Managing Editor

With so many recently graduated, fresh-faced young professionals entering the workforce this spring, I find myself biting my tongue a lot.

Apparently, I have been unwittingly promoted to the far side of an ever-widening generation gap. From my new post here at the peak of the proverbial "hill" down which I'm about to progress into old age, I'm pondering how those of us over 35 could see things so differently than the enthusiastic bunch of career-minded newbies nipping at our heels.

And, while I'm having trouble accepting the fact that I now say things like: "But, isn't she uncomfortable in those jeans?" I'm also of the belief that we seasoned vets owe it to next generation to pass on some of our hard-earned workplace wisdom. The reality is — for a few more years, anyway — those of us who started working when jobs were advertised in the newspaper will still be doing most of the hiring and firing.
