Since starting my own career journey in the glossed halls of retail in 2008, I have had some compelling experiences. As a result, I am motivated to improve the experience of Gen Y in our workplaces.
As a paid employee and Intern/Volunteer, I have regularly witnessed and experienced (the) varying degrees of success in the workplace.
Generation Y are an information-saturated Generation, our interests are in no way limited by our chosen industry or study. I, personally orbit both the creative and the analytical (in no particular order): fashion, retail, social media, blogging, current affairs, politics, history and digital communication.
Contrast can be challenging for such a talented generation who are attempting to harness the benefits of this so early in our careers.
Playing dress ups as a young girl resulted in a love of dressing up (wearing lip gloss to the dinner table regularly, according to Mum!). Dresses and skirts felt like ‘Uniform’, a sentiment from my school days – I preferred pants, thanks to the late 1990s and early 2000s trackpants, low cut and wide leg jeans trends.
