Answer: A parent
Clues: “Mom” and “Dad”
A poll earlier this year found 20% of employers have seen a Gen Z’er bring a parent along for a job interview.
Here’s what those parents are actually doing there:
37% said their parent accompanied them to the office, but didn’t necessarily go in the room. They were just there for moral support.
26% said their parent physically sat in on the interview.
18% said they at least introduced themself to the manager.
7% answered questions for their child.
The poll found one in eight Gen Z’ers have also had a parent write their resumé for them from scratch.
