I really can’t believe it’s 80 degrees outside in the middle of April. Things are starting to bloom, allergies are starting to annoy, and construction is everywhere. It’s also the time for a new crop of students to graduate college and enter the workforce. And when I found a very interesting blog post from the Council of Public Relations Firms dealing with new hires and tech-savvy Millennials, I was intrigued. (as I am considered one of those tech-savvy Millennials:)

Do you know into which generation you fall? According to most sources, the following applies:

Silent Generation [born 1928-1945]
Baby Boomer Generation [born 1946-1964]
Gen Xer [born 1965-1980]
Gen Yer/Millennial [born 1981 or after]

Millennials are known for being confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and receptive to new ideas and ways of living. But they may not be as loyal to their employers and companies as past generations. This post brought up some great tips on how PR agencies can attract, and keep, their new talent, including offering career advancement opportunities and a greater focus on state-of-the-art technology and social media.

And just because I’m on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter and send a mountainous number of texts and e-mails a day… I don’t know that that necessarily makes me tech-savvy:) — but I try!
