Sean Aiken, founder of One Week Job, is traveling around the world trying a new job every week and documenting his journey. He writes:
“After finishing college with a business degree, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t settle for a career that I am not truly passionate about. My goal is to gain a better understanding of what I need in a career to be happy and inspire others to go after their passions.”
His concept is engaging on many levels. And I’m sure he’ll create an outstanding portfolio as a result of this endeavor.
But what about others of his generation who want to try many things before committing? Where does adventure and exploration end and uncommitted slacking begin?
Will the business world change to accommodate the Net Generation? In order to acquire entrepreneurial talent like Sean’s do hiring managers need to modify their requirements and accept a new kind of job history?
Whose expectations and behavior needs to change?
