I was visiting with our young son and was talking to one of the staff members (who works in HR) and the subject of millennials came up. She was telling me about the parents who escorted their son to the interview. The parents waited in the lobby. The kicker? The company offered him a job and the parents apparently also helped negotiate employment terms!!!

I had students bring mommy and daddy to law school orientation. Bizarre. Particularly the one where mom was single and she hit on the professors. Lol

I have had people bring kids to interviews or had their significant others accompany them to the waiting area. These were not for management jobs but I never looked at it favorably.

You try and fit all of that into the allowed topic space. YOU CANT!

I'm a millenial parent (baby boomer). No, I would never do this.

But, I'm a college career director for a GRADUATE program, and I have many students bring their parents in to meet with me. I'm very laid back so I actually don't mind. I know my own child would die before letting me come with her.
