Y GRADS SURVEYED ON 'HELICOPTER' PARENTS

According to the latest poll undertaken by the Graduate Recruitment Bureau, 43% of Y’s said their parents show a lot of interest in their careers and most welcomed the involvement. However, when it came to parents getting actively involved, the consensus was almost entirely hostile. For example, 87% would object to parents negotiating salaries, 97% would resist parents attending interviews, and 96% would not want parents to question an employer about being overlooked for promotion.
