Today's business climate calls for flexible, technoliterate workers who think like entrepreneurs, take charge of their own careers, and quickly adapt to ever changing responsibilities. Ironically, the workers who best fit this profile are the very same Generation Xers whom business leaders have decried as disloyal "slackers" with short attention spans who don't want to be told what to do. As it turns out, the slacker stereotype and the "worker of the future" profile are like mirror images of one another, and companies in every industry are now scrambling to recruit the best young talent.

This practical new book reveals the keys to attracting and keeping the best young employees, and presents detailed strategies for becoming an employer of choice for young workers.
