Job Rotation’s Appeal to GenZ with Special Guest Eli Fernandez

Another peek into the GenZ paths to the workplace with Julie’s second son, Elias.  His journey couldn’t be more opposite than that of his brother who was the opening show for our YouTube channel. Eli finds his way to a finance intern position at Ford by networking – with exactly ONE adult role model.  Once and done is the way he rolls, content to begin his career with a Fortune 50 and one of the largest employers in his hometown, the metro Detroit area.  Eli shares that Ford hires nearly all new graduates into an intern program with three-year rotation to expose them to different parts of the business. What a great way to attract and retain young workers who are known for their appetite to try on different roles.  When networking gives him a chance to leave the rotation program early for a full time role in green energy, how does he think about the options and tradeoffs.  Lastly, we wrap up with some candid GenZ observations on working with older generations of workers from Boomers to GenX to Millennials. As any parent knows, younger workers grow up with technology in ways we can only hope to keep up!
