     > Some employers said they'd be willing to offer older professionals more benefits and higher salaries to avoid hiring new college graduates, a recent survey found.

     > Of the employers who said they prefer to hire older job seekers, 60% said they would be willing to offer more benefits to attract them, 59% said they would offer higher salaries, 48% said they would allow remote or hybrid-working opportunities, and 46% said they would be willing to hire overqualified candidates.

     I wish that is true in the #Philippines.

     However, it is true regarding why they should hire older professionals. For one, we're in that part of our life where we only want to work and get by with life.

     Give us a decent offer, a decent environment, and a decent job, that's it, we're good.

     We already have an experience working, and have the know-how as well. They don't need to give soft skills training; or worry if the new employee knows how to send proper emails (or to at least ask). ^_^;

     @youronlyone I don't mind hiring fresh grads for as long as they're not this problematic. I get that each generation has its own quirks, but please, no parents in interviews! 😂

     This also proves how the pandemic has wreaked havoc on people's social skills. Fresh grads these days barely have any training in the real-world workplace, so they're like fish out of water. How tragic.

     @luthien1126 True! Like email, it's basic skill and “common sense” knowledge, especially if they were taught how to write letters/emails.

     If it was the “reply to all” / “use the group email” that made it to show up as a complaint times 10, disaster indeed.

     Instead of seeing “please remove me”, they are all into it, turned it into chat, to the horror of experienced employees. O_O;;

     @luthien1126 If I'm the hiring manager, I don't even know where to start. 🤣🤣🤣
