Fucking Millennials. Their greed and sense of entitlement has left their country and economy completely in the crapper. They just don't get it like the baby boomers did.
Not sure if srs...

the most recent one we had at my job for a developer position was someone who said they were proficient in javascript. my coworker asked the guy to white board a small problem and the guy couldn't even get the syntax for a for loop correct. and not only could he not get it correct, when he was asked to explain some of the syntax and how the variable defined in the for loop was initialized, he couldn't do it.
needless to say, the interview was cut short. it only lasted 30 minutes instead of the planned 2 hours.
Let's talk about sacrificing. People always talk about how they want to be successful. How are you going to do that when you spend your leisure time playing video games.

Jeans and polo is pretty standard interview attire for developers here in Silicon Valley.

Let's talk about sacrificing. People always talk about how they want to be successful. How are you going to do that when you spend your leisure time playing video games. My parents owned two restaurants. They didn't have time to play video games. My dad was working 12-14 hour days. He'd wake up in the morning at 5am, travel to the restaurant, prep the food and clean the floors. After that he went down to the beach and sold ice cream until 6pm. I don't see too many Millennials making the sacrifice needed to succeed. Instead they would rather bitch and complain. My mother was reluctant to hire young people because of their work ethic. Most of her help came from Romania. They would put in 10 hours a day, and ask for more.
This.On the flip side I know some businesses where the majority of people clocked in 15 minutes late, stopped working a half-hour early, thought nothing of the job when they were not in the office. And there would be one or two people who actually had a strong work ethic, and worked the long hours to keep the business afloat.
I've seen the hard workers who spent countless hours devoted to the business be the first ones to be fired. Yes these companies have serious other problems and most I've known like this have gone under in recent years...
but the point still remains - dedication and hard work is not always rewarded with a secure future.
That anecdote says a lot more about the dad than the daughter. But go ahead and shake your head at millenials.

It wasn't about the resume, it was about the attitude when confronted on it.No printed copy of resume - not that big of a deal. We usually have it printed already or opened up on my monitor if we are interviewing the person. In fact, not having a resume printed/opened up on monitor beforehand would show unpreparedness on the interviewer's part.
I don't care what your mommy told you. You are not special. Get over it.

It seems that way to you because you're a certifiable moron.
So your deal is that you're an asshole. Looks like they dodged a bullet by not getting the job.
I'm 29 and, by and large, those people who are 5-10 years younger than I am are lazy, unfocused , and have no desire to work. They all go to college and stay in college twice as long as they should.
There's definitely a difference.
