Dear Gen Y please keep in mind that most Gen X managers were nicknamed "the latchkey" generation in their youth and as such bringing your parents to the interview will only encourage resentment (especially if your parents are baby boomers who are viewed as having a "charmed childhood" by Gen X with the exception of Vietnam).


Reminds me of this: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Interview_by_Proxy.aspx (It's the second story on the page.)


If anyone of voting age bought their mother to a job interview at my company that would be the shortest interview on record.

Seriously, what's wrong with these people ? Are they so mentally stunted ?
