Ironically, Millennials are highly educated, quick learners, and possess relevant skills that are valuable in today’s workplace. So why is it so difficult for Millennials to launch their careers? This Wednesday, November 19, at 10:30 a.m. (PST), Jessica Miller-Merrell, SPHR author, speaker, HR professional, and the founder of Blogging4Jobs.com, joins PayScale to address these work-related issues facing Millennials in our monthly twitter chat, #PayChat.

During this 30-minute Twitter chat, we’ll discuss the following questions:

Do You Know What You're Worth?

  • How has the recession affected Millennials?
  • How do their struggles to launch their careers compare to previous generations?
  • Why do Millennials job hop more frequently than previous generations?
  • Why are Millennials more willing to start their own thing?
  • What motivates Millennials to do their best work? How does this differ from Gen Xers and Baby Boomers?
  • Do you have any advice for Millennials entering the workforce?
