I listened recently to a conversation between my sister-in-law and her boyfriend (both of which are 18) where he try to understand why he need to wear a tie and a button down to get a job. But then again I kinda feel sorry for him because it isnt "common sense". I don't think anyways. I think you need to be taught that you have to present yourself either dress, resume or cover letter in a certain way to obtain a job and to be successful at keeping it. To be honest, I'm still learning the ins and outs of the professional world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841905.post-13224094937958344162009-09-30T10:43:33.109-04:002009-09-30T10:43:33.109-04:00As a generation why employee and professional in t...As a generation why employee and professional in the HR realm, I disagree with you. I think that this sentiment is true of individuals who do not have a college education. I do not think that our high schools prepare students enough for the work world or even teach the classes that used to be in schools in previous generations. Underfunding leads them to only provide the basics and cut all of the electives. I think a lot of things that more mature generations take for granted like resume writing are viewed as "common sense" and do not need to be taught in high schools. I know that I never received that education. Fortunately my college recognized the disconnect and taught me those not-so-common sense skills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841905.post-28588049783578386962008-08-16T17:00:00.000-04:002008-08-16T17:00:00.000-04:00Frighteningly funny post, thanks for the laugh.
