Generation X The forgotten Ones
Hello FGB job seekers! I am wondering how many other Gen Xers there are here? Does anyone have job seeker advice for the smallest, and largely ignored, cohort in American History so far? Many thanks!

I don't really have Generation X specific advice but I'm with you! I'd like to see our generation work to dispel stereotypes about older workers. I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to retire, I've been learning new software/platform since middle school and I am regularly called upon to fix both my son's phone and my mother's computer.
One thing I have tried to focus on is letting go of the notion that extensive experience offsets technical skills. I try to frame my strengths in terms of trending skills even though I know how to do a lot more than that.
Staci M.Passion, commitment, support, results.

Yes, Stephanie! We need to have more conversations about the importance of the multi-generational workplace!
