    Would be better if they had to apply online with an 18-25 year olds resume.

    Boomers have the advantage of personal connections that they have built up over the course of a lifetime. Many of them will still be able to find a job “the old fashioned way” just through those connections.

    Many still will not. Because job hunting is still garbage. But it’s still not a good way to show them reality unless they have a blank slate with 100k in student loan debt.

      Would be better if they had to apply online with an 18-25 year olds resume.

      …which they then need to re-type into 17 different fields in a not quite broken corporate HR website.

        Don’t forget:

        “sign in with <social media account>”

        Asked you to create a separate password and login anyway. For some reason never uses it but requires you to use a “one time password” sent to your email each time you login.

        Also, you can’t login with your email address. You have to use a username you don’t remember because your usual one is already taken.
