It’s Millennial Week

The snarky headlines only serve to prove Millennial Week founder Natalie Moss’ point.
“Millennials sometimes have a negative reputation,” she said.  Everything about them is being scrutinized to no end by pollsters, journalists and scholars, “from who we vote for, to where we work out, to how we do work,” said Moss.
“We didn’t see quite as much coming from Millennials themselves,” she added. “We weren’t really writing our own narrative.”
That’s what prompted Moss to organize a weeklong event series by, of and for this generation. This year, it will include an unconference, speaker sessions, forums, countless networking opportunities — and also a job fair.

Because of the economic crisis, said Moss, 34, “we’ve had to carve out our own way and make opportunities for ourselves in situations where we haven’t necessarily had a wealth of opportunities.”
“That’s something that’s inherent to Millennials as well,” she added. “Not just wanting to work in corporate America but wanting to do something with social value.”
