Challenges for Millennials Navigating the Job MarketRandy Blum
Dallas, Texas, entrepreneur Randall Blum guides a consulting company that engages with Fortune 500 corporations in boosting employee productivity and job satisfaction. A particular focus of Randall (Randy) Blum is on millennials, people born between the early 1980s and 2000, as they navigate a competitive job market.
One issue often encountered by millennials centers on recruiting technology and AI screening. With many resumes sorted by algorithms before reaching a hiring manager's desk, applicants should populate their resumes with specific keywords and profile elements. This process avoids the common occurrence of overlooking qualified candidates.
Another issue is that technology opens the doors for recruiters who do not have the knowledge base for the commission or fee-based services they provide. Ideally, a recruiting partner should have in-depth industry experience or knowledge and a feel for candidates who have the right tools and skills for specific positions.
With many millennials approaching their 40s, another challenge is appearing over-qualified for entry-level jobs with growth potential. From this perspective, seeking employment becomes a delicate balance of fitting the criterion of the position without appearing overly demanding when it comes to salary and responsibilities.

In this role, he provides strategic guidance to Fortune 500 companies with a specific emphasis on enhancing millennial employee satisfaction and productivity. Outside of his professional pursuits, Randall 'Randy' Blum supports the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).
Launched in 1888, the AAU is a multi-sport organization with 150,000 volunteers who help operate more than three dozen sports programs. It has awarded the top amateur athletes in the United States with the James E. Sullivan Award for more than 90 years. In October, the AAU announced gymnast Simone Biles and swimmer Caeleb Dressel as co-winners of the award. This was only the third time the organization named co-winners of the award.
Biles is one of the most accomplished gymnasts in history. She is a seven-time Olympic medalist, which is tied for the most among American women with Shannon Miller, and has won 25 medals in the World Championships. Dressel, meanwhile, won five gold medals at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Only four other swimmers in history have accomplished this feat. Biles is the fourth gymnast and Dressel is the 11th swimmer to win the prestigious award.
Kevin Kopps (baseball), Maddie Musselman (water polo), and Athing Mu (track and field) were the other three finalists for the James E. Sullivan Award.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
