As every new generation enters the workforce, it's amazing how quickly they're mislabeled with "attributes" that are common to young people. These labels tend to stick, and they become increasingly inaccurate as the generation ages (assuming they were even accurate to begin with).

Nowhere is this more evident than with Millennials. There's a lot of talk about this generation, who by 2020 will make up more than 50% of the US workforce.

It is estimated that HR and/or the hiring manager spends approximately one to two minutes reviewing incoming resumes. They look for key words and phrases.

Once selected you usually have a phone interview and passing that, an in person interview.

 Upon entering the interview room if often appears that the interviewer(s) is seeing your resume for the first time, which is very disconcerting. The candidate is already nervous enough.
