This is real, 1 in 5 college grads interviewed brought their parents.  I'm speechless.  When I ran a research division in early 2000's w/over 100 employees and interviewed college grads, the number was 0%.

if they brought them into the interview, it would not surprise me

reflecting on this, is your scenario a ton better for a 20 something adult that has graduated college?

Surely this means ‘parents drove them to the interview and waited outside’ or something right? Couldn’t tell from the article if it meant actually into the interview… which would be insane

Do current college graduates lack live communication skills? maybe it's true because of covid. In addition, people began to communicate more online

who are the parents going to job interviews though???

Times have definitely changed! It’s surprising to see this trend. I wonder if it's a reflection of today's more collaborative, supportive culture or maybe heightened anxiety about entering the workforce? Either way, it's a fascinating shift from your experience in the early 2000s.

The thought of bringing a parent to a job interview is something out of Mad TV.

What the actual fuck
