New Graduates - Want A Job? Learn To Work First

We had lunch with an exec frustrated this week, I have known for years. He hired new college graduates for years, saw the process over the last three decades, and is concerned that today's graduates do not know how to work.

I frowned on a wide coverage, and agreed that it is not true for every new grad, but all in all he has seen the change, the calculation does not want to roll up their sleeves and work. It is interesting to note that he accuses me of, or at least my generation of baby boomers, Megen who have spent the last 30 years to continue the easiest route to success. And what has happened, we succeeded.

We had a good time and thought we had the right to drive the success of "everything necessary" approach, but the result is not so good for our current economic situation worse, and what is taught or not taught the next generation.

Focusing on new graduates, Executive explained that it is not surprising, when you need a new grad job interviews with the requirements relating to working hours, limited travel and holidays. Of course, this may not be for you when you're reading this, but maybe you know someone who fits the description, and give a large group a bad name. In order to get out of economic chaos, many things have to happen, but perhaps the most important thing is that we return to the social value of good old hard work. It must adapt to new university graduates.

So if you need to find work, to show that you understand and appreciate the value of a day's work and will be online to hire him.

Then, as if to prove?

I know a very successful heart surgeon has now been removed from a medical school in the 70 to get to West Texas to work the cattle. The work was hard and dirty, where literally shovel sh * t. Today, claims to have learned the value of work this summer, and created a foundation that played for the good of all the days of his life's work. Perhaps the best school, you must go out of their way to spend a few months to do the dirty work. You will learn the value of work, how to earn respect and rewards of a job - any job well done. Whatever you do, a cardiac surgeon, a developer or seller of experience will make you a better person and employee. At least you have a good appreciation for the work they do.

If I stood for, would all be spending time learning the value of work ... manual labor, retail, fast food - do not care how I come to understand the basis of the building, and as I have throughout my career, will continue to make the acquaintance of hard work through the actual experience is a prerequisite to employment.

Can not find a job doing this kind of work? You do not have time? Toro ... Plenty to do in your city, your neighborhood, your church or your local library. Voluntary, no one said he had to pay for the value of hard work. References and work experience only gets ahead of the rest.

Do you want to work, career? Learn to work first!
