      Meh, sounds like it’s written by a grumpy boomer who doesn’t understand that millennials take gap years, change careers and don’t stick to a classic “climb the ladder” career path

          Haha yes, we’re on the same page. Loved your comparison with slick car salesmen :)

        Agree! A lot of this article screams rigid/not-growth mindset approach to work and hiring.

      WOW, number 6 is RIDICULOUS!!! Finding someone within a company to refer you, wining and dining them until you have some kind of relationship - which could take a pretty long time and forget about it being genuine - then asking them to refer you for a job position - INSANE in my book. A potential boss that finds that an essential ingredient on a resume is not someone I’d want to work for. Gary Burnison and Korn Ferry is an executive coaching conglomerate which always seems to smell of slick car salesmen. Yes, admittedly, I am being triggered by this!
