Prepare and Cease the Moment

To help you on your road to college and eventually a career, I am always looking for information that I feel can benefit you.  In reading my daily blogs, I came across a post by Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine, in which he shares information about the diversity that is happening the workplace.  This is a diversity of gender and generations. 
In a blog post I did on Teenspeak last spring, I talked about how to prepare to work with people from multiple generations currently in the workforce.  In Mr. Hardy's blog post, he states, "today because people are living and working longer we will soon have five generations in the workplace, all at once".   If you have a part-time job, you are probably already working with people from multiple generations.  What does this mean for you?  To fit in, contribute and stay competitive, you will need to be able to adapt to fit in and work with many personalities to help shape the culture, productivity and profit of your chosen company.
