If you were born after 1982 and have come of age in the 21st-century, you are part of the “Millennial Generation.” The first of this generation are now graduating from college, and what kind of jobs are these young people looking for? Experience Inc., a company that provides job search software for University Careers Offices, reported what new college graduates said about the kinds of careers they wanted (New York Times, 5/30/04).
After two years of rising unemployment and dismal job prospects, these young people know that the days of getting hired and spending an entire career with the one paternalistic employer, benefits and a pension, are long gone. Today’s college graduates know about job instability, increasing competition, health care costs, and the outlook for Social Security benefits when they come of age. In spite of these uncertainties, the Millennial Generation says job stability is not the #1 reason for choosing a job. The #1 reason for choosing a job is “integrity of organization in its dealings with employees.”

Review of Show me The IntegrityThe premise of what young people today want from a job is an intereting topic, but this short piece spends too long on why we should be happy they are chosing integrity. What that may mean for older managers dealing with them would have been a good way to move from interesting factoid to true insight. |

Review of Show me The Integrity
I thought this was an interesting segment. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the person speaking. He talks so slowly that it makes me feel like he is talking down to me - as if by speaking slower I might understand better.
