I remember sitting in class listening to a professor ramble about generations. How each generation is different. Marketing to each generation is different. They have different needs. They have different desires. They enjoy different things. I understood what she was saying but I really didn’t care. It seemed common sense to me. My mother cares about different things than I do. The things I care about will one day appall my son. Each generation is brought up in a totally different world. We are exposed to different music, different political figures, different leaders, different rules. Of course we are going to turn out differently.

I never really saw how this could help me in the job force. I didn’t see how being a millennial was going to be beneficial to my employer. It wasn’t until I read this article about generation Y and what we bring to the workplace. The ability to multi-task and see things in a different light. Tonight I came across this blog post about the millenial generation. I have had to explain, train, and beg friends to get on Twitter. After joining many became bored. Why one hundred and fourty characters? Why do people care what I am doing? Where I am going? There are so many great points in that post I encourage you to read it.

More to come on this topic. Promise

p.s. This is one of the many reasons I am ecstatic about working for Jennifer Brown Consulting!
