A message to job recruiters out there. Yes, I’m gen Z. That doesn’t make me lazy, nor an entitled a bum. I don’t know why every news article I see about 2025 job recruiting is wondering why gen Z can’t find work, when I’ve applied to 50 jobs just this past month. I’m here, I’m trying to apply. I’m far from the only one here who can’t land even an interview. Whoever got it into their head that gen Z doesn’t want to work needs to stop spreading that lie everywhere.

Facts. I've applied for over 75 jobs and no response or interviews. If y'all aren't hiring or looking to hire please stop saying Gen Z is lazy

It’s not just you… all people, all ages. Lots of folks have soft degrees, little experience or no connections. Just take a low hanging fruit job, take on extra projects, build up your resume and try again in 12 months. Don’t stay too long but make small incremental jumps. Take advantage of being young, ask questions, make friends with someone in leadership, don’t be afraid to ask. If there’s one time in you life to be the newbie now is it. Good luck.
