just had a 19 year old come in for a social media position (interview).
her resume said she had a eye for detail, every bullet point and indent was different, extra spaces between words "like this" and spelled Photoshop "photo shop"
she asked for 80k/yr starting..
kids these days
- eh qbn takes out extra spacing. go qbn!********
- sounds perfect for the positionmonospaced
- 80k lol get the fuck outta heremoldero
- If she asks you why she didn't get the job, tell her.bklyndroobeki
- based on my experience with social media experts, none of that is required whatsoevermonospaced
- I bet she's good at Emojis.bainbridge
- She might be posting things to twatter, and the like... probably need a good eye for that stuff. Those people are so the limelight of a company's image.bklyndroobeki
- So if she's 19, he doesn't go to college? What is on her resume?bainbridge
- EDUCATION: University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ...SKILLS: Photo Shop; Adobe Illustrator; In Design; MS Word; Excel;...********
- after reading half her resume i didnt even bother asking about schooling..no completed dates for UOA..(BA Interdisciplinary Studies Major)...********
- she somehow worked for Bergdorf Goodman********
- This all but confirms what the shit level of quality control in online media is doing to kids. They see mediocrity 24/7 and think it passes as acceptable.mg33
- Are you being serious? $80k at 19yr??? With zero experience?sofakingback
- And think their totally limited skill set warrants that kind of salary. What a world!mg33

- Ha. I had a similar position with a jr designer (terrible) loved knives and leather bkgs. Wanted 85k.Hayoth
- i wonder if they have context to 80Kbklyndroobeki
- well if you tube stars are making 10 mil a year making smoothie videos, then surely 19yo twitter superstar and photo shop guru is worth 80k minimum!_niko
- Hahaha! Welcome to FUCKING MILLENNIALVILLE! I've has similar experiences. I just start laughing at them usually, I really do********
- BTW, half of the problem, society preaches that crap. It's all the rage, everyone is equal and deserve tons starting off, with no experience.********
- Don't forget a ton of art schools (digital media programs) are just peddling degrees. There's no quality control involved. It's about the $.********
- @ _niko, don't laugh that's exactly the way they think. Fact!********
- Maybe you should point these faults out to her. Maybe she thinks she's doing the right thing and doesn't know how much $ to ask for. Being blunt could be good.********
- Tell her she needs to work hard and learn things. Don't just dismiss her to go apply for more jobs to get rejected from.********
- 19 year olds usually have no idea how useless and naive they are.********
- ^
Who didn't mess things up at that age?mugwart - I still have no idea how useless and naive I am********
- You go girl!bklyndroobeki
- I see that's the first time you meet an entitled bernie voter
jk jk
nah it's trueGeorgesII - @freedom no, it's pervasive in that generation. I've probably interviewed around 50 Gen Y / Millennial over my career and it's alway a huge amount********
- There's a complete disconnect with fiscal reality and that runs deep in most of their social views as well.********
- In their eyes, everything has to happen TODAY. No work or experience should occur. "We deserve it because we said so..." Doesn't work that way********
- If this bird had a proper guidance counselor, she wouldn't have asked you for such an amount. Schools probably have cut back on them. Lmfao********
- Average QBN member is an old man shaking his fist at the kids.********
- Salaries of this amount are unwarranted. It matters not based upon age your average social media manager does not make $80,000********
- An individual straight out of school definitely doesn't deserve the $80,000********
- Mind yoy, your average CEO makes somewhere in the 135 to $150,000 range. Why would you pay a social media manager nearly half of that amount********
- but is she hot? jk********
- I would have asked her where the $80k came from. She's got balls, if she knows what that means. When I was in grad school I thought $60k a year was a fabulousformed
- ^********
- Honestly, I would have asked, "explain a time where you've worked with an actual client, having to show them the business intelligence behind your work, IOW,********
- what was their ROI?" - INTERVIEW OVER. Kids like this do not know jackshit. $80 fucking K.********
- I had a great time at UoA in 1995. I'll never forget. Best days of my teenage years...SimonFFM
- ********
- These types tend to be thrasonical (they're all being told they're special), but undeservingly so********
- they laughed at me asking for $40k. Damnit. Why did you even invite her?mekk
- Bumping omg's question, is she hot?Maaku
- eh qbn takes out extra spacing. go qbn!
