I refuse to believe a parent coming to an adult job interview is that common. How?!?
I worked in a workshop/factory and a guy's mom came to his interview. He got the job and she also came on his first day. The leadhand talked to her, explaining that if she didn't leave that he would be bulllied by the other guys.
This was in the late 00's, so no GenZ in sight.
Well, maybe in a few rust belt meat packing plants you'd find some.
Sounds like a surefire way to not get the job
I thought the same thing...
But don't you dare complain that's entry level jobs are disappearing and it's harder to find a job. It's your own fault they now require a minimum of 3 years experience for a barely above minimum wage job that people with 3 years of experience don't want, but they won't give to anyone else.
It's been that way since I entered the workforce over a decade ago. Want to work in the career you studied and trained for? Nope you need to have experience.
When a job is advertised as "entry level" you shouldn't be requiring experience...
Gen Z workers are much less pliable than Gen X and even Millennials. They are way more apt to stand by workers rights than cowtow. It's not qualifications, it's lack of obedience that managers don't like.
