Some Gen Zers seem to be bringing parents to job interviews. It may not be as bad as it sounds.

• Gen Zers are bringing their parents to job interviews, a survey of 1,428 Zoomers found.
• Experts say this trend shows Gen Z values parental guidance, but it can hurt job prospects.
• However, having a parent in the interview may alleviate stress and anxiety.

A small study suggests some Gen Zers are bringing their parents along to job interviews.

In a Resume Templates survey of 1,428 US Zoomers, 70% said they had asked their parents for help during their job search, and 26% said they had brought a parent to an interview.

Discussing the results on her radio show, the reporter Kim Komando said a candidate once showed up to an interview for a studio position with their mother.
