Recently I have been intrigued by blogs that are on the periphery of recruiting but help us understand the people and issues we face in recruiting better.
The best of the bunch is the blog by Penelope Trunk who has written the book Brazen Careerist. In that book she provides career advice to Gen Y and in doing so explores many of the myths and truths about both Gen X and Gen Y.
As Baby Boomers are replaced as the dominant generation in the workplace, there will be lots of fireworks. If you read the reviews on Amazon from readers of her book you will quickly discover how controversial she is. Half the reviewers say she is full of you know what and the other half love her. I am quite sure that the most negative reviews come from the Boomers who are not going to leave their comfortable workplaces with a whimper.
As a Gen X writer herself, who focuses a lot on Gen Y and what they want from work and life that is different from what she wants, she opens up a Pandora’s box of issues that need talking about. Her open attitude and tell-it-like-it-is style make this a very refreshing book and blog.
