Well-meaning career advice from parents can be "totally useless" for new graduates navigating today's job market, journalist Jodi Kantor said, according to CNBC.
Kantor's comments point to a generational gap in job-search norms, with parents sometimes encouraging approaches that reflect an earlier era of hiring rather than the current market. The CNBC report did not specify further which particular parental behavior Kantor identified as most counterproductive.
The remarks come amid broader discussion of a competitive job market for recent graduates, as families look for ways to support young adults entering the workforce without overstepping.
Further specifics of Kantor's recommended approach were not detailed in the available source material.
