Advice for a Gen Y Job Hopper, and Employers

I came across this post on CNN Money from Senior Writer Anne Fisher of “Ask Annie” fame, where a young Ivy League graduate is seeking advice on whether to make a career change after just three months in his first job because he feels his job has become too routine.

Fisher’s reply is excellent, but I find the nature of the question to be the real gem here. Smart employers must realize that their young recruits are prone to getting bored very quickly and need to be challenged. Managers have got to take proactive steps to engage young talent early on as most Gen Y’s won’t seek advice from a columnist when they get bored; they’ll simply quit their jobs.
