There are four generations currently in the workforce:
- Generation Y, born between 1980 and 1995
- Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980
- Baby boomers, born between 1945 and 1964
- Traditionalists, born before 1945
Each generation grew up with different work expectations, technology, and communication styles. There is a culture clash as four generations work closely together. Much has been made in the media of the generational clash. As a job seeker, you will likely interview with someone from a different generation who has specific preconceptions of you. You may not change your job search tactics in anticipation of a clash that may not arise, but you want to be sensitive to some of the anxiety in the market.
