Adecco\u2019s 2012 Graduation Survey<\/a>.<\/p>\nStill, about that same number claims parents are covering some of their living expenses, things like cell phone bills, internet access, food, and health coverage. Two percent of these college grads say their parents are footing their entire living expenses. That\u2019s one in 50 kids (I think the real number is higher based on personal observation).<\/p>\n
Some parents are not content to help pay the bills. They\u2019re going to great lengths to help Junior get a job.<\/p>\n
According to Adecco, nearly a third of parents are helping their kids find work, and nearly one in ten are taking them to job interviews.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n
Three percent of recent college grads say their parents have actually sat in with them during interviews, and one percent claim Mom or Dad wrote their thank you notes afterwards\u2026.<\/p>\n
What are deal killers?<\/p>\n
Nearly one in four say they would not take a job they were otherwise interested in if they could not make or receive personal phone calls at work. Twelve percent say they wouldn\u2019t work at a place that wouldn\u2019t let them check in on Twitter or Facebook. Finally, my favorite, five percent \u2014 one in 20 recent grads \u2014 say they wouldn\u2019t take a job where they couldn\u2019t shop online, and the same amount would say no to employment where they couldn\u2019t check sports scores.<\/p>\n
