5. I work to kill some time

Distinguish Factor X and Y

Recruitment is an ever changing landscape, and with demographics continually changing it makes for some interesting recruiting strategies going forward. The early Baby Boomers (defined as being born between 1946 to 1964, and aged between 43-61) are now starting to retire, and as recruiters we are now having to put more of a focus on Generation X-ers (defined as being born between 1965 to 1979, and aged between 28-42) and Generation Y-ers (defined as being born between 1980 and 1984, and aged between 13-27).

But to recruit and retain people from these two generations, then we surely need to understand what makes them tick in a working environment. Krista Third of Tamm Communications has noted ten different workplace differences between the X and Y generations that we should all take note of:

1. Preferred style of leadership
• X - only competent leaders will do
• Y – collaboration with management is expected

2. Value of Experience
• X – don’t tell me where you have been, show me what you know
• Y – experience is irrelevant, as the world is changing so fast

3. Autonomy
• X – give them direction, and then leave them to it
• Y – questions, questions, questions

4. Feedback
• X - expect regular feedback
• Y - need constant and immediate feedback

5. Rewards
• X – freedom is the ultimate reward
• Y – money talks

6. Training
• X – want to continually learn, if they don’t they will leave
• Y – still in an exam driven mentality

7. Work Hours
• X – do their work and go home
• Y – will work as long as needed …or until they get bored

8. Work Life Balance
• X – they want to enjoy life to the full, while they are young enough to do so
• Y – their lives are busy – they need alot of ‘me’ time

9. Loyalty
• X – they are committed as everyone else working there
• Y – already working out their exit strategy

10. Meaning of Money
• X – it gives freedom and independence
• Y - just something that allows them to maintain their lifestyle

My First Experience Learning English

My first experience about learning English, I feel strange and why I must learn this? I had a lot difficulties in learning sundanesse, and then I must learn English? That’s cruel for little innocent kid like me. But learning English is fun, there is many pictures from text book, the thing that I don’t have on my sundanesse books. Learning English can make me looks cool from the other student, specially from the girls. Yeah, the girls.

The absurd thing about learning English in schools, elementary school, junior high school, and also senior high schools is. The moment when teacher came into the class and he/she ask the same question like all teachers I had before.
Teacher : Good morning student, how are you today?
Student : Good morning sir/mam. I’m fine, thank you. And you?
Teacher : I’m fine too, ok lets start the class today, blah blah blah
That’s, really embarrassing. It’s fine when i still on elementary school, but on senior high school? That’s makes me looks stupid!

Agree In Future

I agreed because Generation Y assumes adults at work are on their side. They were raised by parents who often acted more like friends and mentors. So Gen Y comes to the negotiating table with unprecedented confidence about what kind of workplace they want.

Gen Y is different than previous generation workers in the following ways:

1. Gen Y uses modern tools and technologies, including software that’s easily accessible and free from the Internet;
2. Gen Y easily maintains their to-do lists, and priorities by synching with the PDAs and iPODs;
3. Gen Y are not workaholics, and understand the relationship between a balanced life and productivity;
4. Gen Y are more likely to love their jobs, because they change jobs more frequently, and stay in jobs that match their passions and talents;
5. Gen Y has a continuing thirst for learning and personal growth;
6. Gen Y wants to have new experiences, try new things, and be creative;
7. Gen Y doesn’t stay in jobs they don’t like just to be comfortable and secure.
