In the workplace
With Generation Zs career aspirations comes the reality of entering and participating in the workforce. In some ways, getting a job and working with coworkers is not that much different than it was a hundred years ago. Experience, expertise, and networks can lead to gainful employment and a long career. However, the occupational landscape has changed today, and technology has created more opportunities for people to find jobs, get hired, and do their work. With five generations in the workplace, a thriving gig economy, and the characteristics of those in Generation Z themselves, todays workplace looks a lot different in some ways than it did a century ago.
Although those in Generation Z likely have many positive characteristics to offer an employer, this generation is still competing with the experience and honed skill sets of those in older generations. So, what are employers looking for and how does Generation Z stack up to those expectations?
In a rapidly changing world, its no surprise that employers are interested in employees who have the skills to adapt to changing work dynamics. Although there may be an exception for some very technical professions (medicine, law, and trades, for example), findings from the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE) study revealed that a higher percentage of employers look for skills related to complex cognitive reasoning on candidates resumes than technical skills.complex cognitive reasoning and hone their coding skills upon coming into the workplace.
Technical competence will change as technology evolves, but there is timelessness to questions of inquiry. Employers know that hiring individuals who can ask and address these types of questions can serve the organization for many years to come.
In addition to critical thinking and problem-solving being the competencies deemed most essential by employers surveyed by NACE,
I want new experiences and puzzles and to be around people that love solving them as much as I do.

Will Generation Z employees be able to effectively engage in critical thinking and problem-solving at work? Having only known a world in which access to nearly unlimited information and solutions to problems are only a click away, they may rely on getting quick answers from the online world, leaving them less able to figure it out for themselves. Whether it is a YouTube instructional video, a blog or forum offering advice, or Siri who can answer any question, those in Generation Z have been able to rely on others and technology to provide them answers. Although using these tools can help them solve problems, the vast array of ways to get an answer quickly engages them in surface level learning rather than complex problem-solving. And with so many possibilities, they need to be savvy in how they sort through and find legitimate and useful information, which may be a challenge when you combine the inordinate amount of content available with their 8-second spans. And, not all answers can be found with a quick online search and require deeper investigation or even the ability to come up with their own answers. Are there opportunities available for those in Generation Z to develop the ability to engage in complex cognitive reasoning now or will they be woefully unprepared to fit the demands of their future employers?
The word creativity summons up childhood memories of everything from building forts to finger-painting to writing poetry to making up songs. The beauty of creativity is that it is essentially boundless. It is drawing outside the lines, thinking outside the box, or any other saying about fostering imagination. Despite the clich of these phrases, there is some truth to them. Imagining what could be and pushing the boundaries of what has been underscores the essence of creativity and has served as the bedrock for countless advancements in our society. Who would have thought that 3-D printers could ever print human organs or that cars could be driverless? Someone did someone that employers would likely want to hire. Although only 21 percent of current
Although this generation self-identifies as having the characteristic of creativity
I enjoy drawing and being creative, although I feel after 2nd grade, the school system kind of killed my creativity, but Im finding it again in this design major.
Member of Generation Z
Both students and teachers recognize the importance of developing creativity. Seventy-six percent of Generation Z students (ages 11 to 17), as well as 75 percent of their teachers, wish there was more of an emphasis on creativity in the curriculum because both believe creativity will be critical to Generation Zs future success.
Imagine witnessing the person ahead of you in line at the grocery store yelling at the cashier for ringing up a purchase incorrectly. We are witnesses to scenarios like this every day, and on some occasions are the ones involved in them. These behaviors never really end up being helpful or productive, and in some cases can cause harm. Instead of yelling at the cashier, that person could have easily said, No problem. How is your day going? What stops us from engaging in road rage, yelling at the customer service representative, or engaging in text or tweet storms with others? It is emotional intelligence, or the ability to understand and manage our own emotions.
Although the concept has been around for decades, the thousands of blogs, articles, and news stories about emotional intelligence in mainstream media highlight its importance in todays world of work. It would be hard to believe that any supervisor would want their employees to insult customers, act rudely to colleagues, or become physically outraged when disagreeing with a new policy.
If emotional intelligence is critical today, it is very likely to be a focus in the future, considering that the World Economic Forum added emotional intelligence to their list of essential workplace competencies for 2020 in the number six spot after not being present in the 2015 list at all. and one could only hope that they are able to put themselves in someone elses shoes before engaging in unproductive behavior like yelling at a cashier.
The most important issue facing my generation will be lack of communication. Not just verbal and vocal, but of all kinds. Lack of communication leads to lack of connection with others, lack of connection leads to lack of humanity, and lack of humanity leads to shortsightedness.

However, despite these characteristics, Generation Z is also used to short bursts of communication, and the expectation of 24/7 access to nearly anything may lead to them to hitting the send button a bit too soon. With a simple Internet search, it is easy to find stories of teens sending rude and demanding messages to teachers or professional emails with typos communication behaviors they would likely never engage in face-to-face. Its no surprise then that the Internet is filled with articles, blogs, and podcasts for teens on how to engage in professionalism both in-person and online.
A recent study by LinkedIn found that only 42 percent of employers agreed that their new hires had the emotional intelligence skills required for their position.sorely needed, how can older generations help Generation Z develop into emotionally intelligent young adults?
In addition to emotional intelligence, social intelligence is critical in the work-force as well. Where emotional intelligence mainly focuses on understanding oneself and being able to monitor ones own behavior, social intelligence consists of understanding and working effectively with others.
