People who work in HR are starting to speak out about the weird behavior of millennials during job interviews. USA Today reports that recent college grads are wearing clothing inappropriate for the office, having their parents call to negotiate salaries, and texting during meetings. You know, because "hey, what's up" can't wait until the end of an important 15 minutes that can decide your career. The most bizarre of them all is the story of a college senior bringing her cat to interview for a corporate position at American Eagle as a buyer. Not only did she come to the office with her house pet, she continued to play with it on the recruiter's desk throughout the interview (which we assume was very short). What's wrong with kids these days? One word of advice: Leave Simba at home to play with his scratching post the next time you get a job interview.
