it might not be as bad as you think

no, its worse
Must be youths of wealthy parents applying for white collar positions mostly. Most other parents dont have the time, money nor energy to go through that all.

That's not quite the same thing
See profile pic
They can have interviews where several people are asking questions to one person, they can have interviews where multiple people (That is, their direct competition) are asked questions all at once.

I don't see why they can't have an interview where a young person has a parent in their corner. If it makes them more comfortable and focused then go ahead.

Plus a savvy parent may be able to better detect if their child is about to get the business than someone going for their first job.

Work at a large clinic, my boss was talking about this a few weeks ago. I guess they've had multiple applicants doing this and are absolutely gobsmacked by it lol. If it happens this often in the middle of bum fuck Arkansas I'm sure it's a borderline nationwide epidemic

as much fun as it is to viciously mock, anything on the side of (prospective) employees is a massively good thing

probably gonna make businesses think a lot harder about their bullshit

Lol you two can't be serious

Anyone who brings a parent to an interview will be immediately disqualified, they'll just choose from the large pool of applicants who are able to put their shoes on without falling to pieces.

Oh so they'll instead find dream jobs that prefer employees needing a chaperone instead of a normal functioning adult? They'll pay great salaries and benefits to people who they can't depend on to get to work themselves, that's who employers will give these sweet perfect work/life balance positions too?

Some of you are way too chronically online if you believe shit like this for real

Businesses need young people, that's why they're fighting to strip away child labor laws.

I'm all for anything that evens the odds for the little guy.

y'all sound real mad about other people's work, I wouldn't want to work for you for that matter and I don't need to hire a parent to help me figure that out

I hate interviews as much as the next guy but if you need a parent in the room to be a literal emotional support animal that seems like some serious failure to launch. Having them go with you to pump you up in the car and talk about it afterwards seems fine but them going in with you or answering questions on your behalf is absolutely wild.

I agree with that part

I don't get why them sitting in the corner is a problem.

Pay wall, but if it from the report I think it is. it just means 20% of the people who they asked saw that at least once, not that there is an epidemic of a people bringing mom to an interview.

They're not going to sit in the corner at the job. If someone can't handle the stress of an interview how are they going to be able to handle a job without apron strings to hold onto? On the road to adulthood holding down a proper job is usually something that comes long after leaving the nest.

Y'all know everyone who's defending this behavior in this topic is trolling, right? None of the elderly curmudgeons on this site would think having your parents in an interview is a good thing.
@('_')@
I feel like if you cant get through something as mundane as an interview without your mom being there to hold your hand then maybe you arent quite mature enough to have a job.

Like if this is for some shitty retail job or something then I cant imagine how you would deal with bitchy customers if you cant even handle an interview

It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but when you really think about it, your parents are pretty helpful when selecting your first job. They were the first people I talked to after my first set of interviews after college. Maybe this becomes the norm as crazy as that sounds.

So?

If someone can't handle the stress of an interview how are they going to be able to handle a job without apron strings to hold onto?

If they can't handle the job then don't hire them because they can't handle the job. Not because someone else was in a room at some time once.

On the road to adulthood holding down a proper job is usually something that comes long after leaving the nest.
So?

Unlike a lot of people in this topic (I suspect including yourself) I've conducted job interviews and while unorthodox if a candidate brought someone to watch the interview (and not intervene in anyway) I'd have no problem with that

And I would be utterly failing if then I didn't hire a good candidate because doing that was unusual.

I already mentioned that you're allowed to have your driving instructor with you on driving tests. They can't intervene but they can give you first hand feedback the moment it's over. I don't see how this is different in prinicple.

You can also bring union or legal representatives to meetings. I don't see how this is different in prinicple.

If anything the fact they're prepared to think out of the box and use the resources they have is a positive sign on paper. "It's not what my grandparents did and therefore wrong" betrays a complete lack of innovation and imagination.

I don't really get the hostility towards it ITT. Just feels like some users are immensely insecure.

its probably not an actual problem since obv the job isnt going to hire the weirdo that tries to bring their parents in a job interview

This story is a nothingburger

As reported, 26% of applicants "bring their parent to their interview"

However, of that 26%:

For those that said they had a parent near them during a virtual interview, 71 percent said their parent was off camera, while 29 percent said their parent was visible on camera.

So that means legitimately only 29%, of 26%, said their parents were actually even visible. That doesn't even say they took part, just that they were visible. 29% of 26%.

And that's 29%, of 26%, of VIRTUAL interviews

This story is nothing.

A lot of people were raised to believe that once you hit 18, you leave home and basically don't speak to your parents again outside of reunions.

Okay maybe that's a little...

But honestly this may be a new trend for the newest generation. I don't have anything against a change of pace personally. Like I said before they're already being targeted, and companies certainly changed things from being able to walk in a building, look the manager in the eyes, shake their hands and you start your new job tomorrow.

Maybe having a parent in your corner can work, at least for your first job. After all, they were probably looking over you when you first learned how to ride a bike.

Why are so many of you falling for the generational divide propaganda? We all hated the absolute nonsense bullshit that would be written about us millennials so why are you lapping it up when it attacks zoomers or gen alpha?
The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist.
ONLINE interviews?

Holy shit, for real people still complaining?

"How dare you still live with your parents when you're trying to get your first job" may as well be the message then.

maybe I should have brought my parents to job interviews too...then I'd have a job that pays well enough for me to get past that paywall.
?
Can't read the article, but we've had some interviewee's that did this before for both in person (the parent would sit in a corner or be outside for emotional support) and zoom call (in the same room somewhere but never in the same screen). With that said, the moment the parent opened their mouth to say something on their behalf or if the interviewee looks to their parents for help, it was a red flag for us to not hire them. The whole point of the interview is for us to know them a little better, if personality wise they're easy to work with and if they have the right credentials we're looking for to be able to perform the job at a CPA firm. In many times at work, you might be placed in an uncomfortable situation in front of clients/vendors and that means knowing how to keep your composure and at minimal ACT professional if that's not part of your personality.
DI MOLTO!

Exactly.

Divide and conquer. Stand up for the younger generations, companies aren't suddenly the good guys because someone else is getting the business.

If my kids asked me to go to their first set of interviews I'd go. Why wouldn't you support your kids when they need/ask for it?

When I was a senior in high school, I had a teacher/job coach sit in with me during my interview for my very first job. It went fine too; I got the job.
