Millennial jobseekers say they’re upfront, ‘hungry’ and know their worth as employers learn to adapt

[chittychitty]

SINGAPORE — The longstanding debate about whether millennials in the job market and workplace have too much of a sense of entitlement has come to the fore again after a social media post went viral recently.

TODAY’s interviews with both employers and young jobseekers found, however, that there may be more middle ground between these two groups than one might expect.

Commenting on the issue, Miss Sharifah Zahrah Aljufri, 25, who has been looking for a job since May, said people who make sweeping statements that millennials should be more humble and more willing to “suffer” like the older generations are stereotyping the group. She also felt that the generalisation of millennials being too demanding is unfair.

Mr Adam Esoof Piperdy, 30, chief executive officer and founder or events company Unearthed Productions, agreed that times have changed and hirers need to accept and learn to adapt to the ways of millennials or risk losing out.

The debate on the matter was sparked by a Facebook post made by Mr Delane Lim, 35, on Aug 29.

Very hard for employers to lose out when there's millions upon millions of hungry cheaper better faster banging on the doors......sinkies need to realise the truth they are redundant and disposable.

They interviewed two muslim malays who are unemployed or underemployed because cannot speak mandarin.

maybe its time to return them to the jungles of malaysia where they will be more properly and suitably employed.

So why don't they learnt to speak mandarin?if that's the problem,Chinese have no problems learning how to speak Bahasa Indonesia in indoland and Bahasa melayu in Malaysia to assimilate with the majority.but malays got problem?oh oh oh forcing a malay or any other race to pick up mandarin is racist and whitewashing their culture.......but a chink learning another language in order to assimilate is normal and pretty much expected.

If Singkie employers and PAP gang up against the Millennial, this is what we see now. PM crying . Ministry of man power crying.
But after the crying, they still keep their million dollar pay cheques and bonues.
