I am absolutely baffled by this new trend of career co-piloting where parents are literally joining their adult children's job interviews. Apparently, 20% of young job seekers have had a mom or dad sit in on an interview, and 10% actually have their parents negotiate their salaries with employers! Helping out with a resume is one thing, almost half of parents do that, and it makes sense to get a second set of eyes. But contacting recruiters or sitting in the same room during a professional interview? That is a massive red flag for any hiring manager. It screams a complete failure to launch and a lack of basic independence. How are you supposed to handle workplace conflicts or make executive decisions if your parents are still holding your hand at the negotiating table? #business #careers #management https://thoxt.com/l/klJhJ2 🔗
