This article describes this generation is obsessed with telling people how passionate they are. In the very competitive business world, being passionate might not make the cut. When employers are hiring they hear dozens or more people talk about how passionate they are about the subject at hand. What people don’t realize is when a job meet’s your passions, that’s a benefit to you, not the employer. The employer simply wants the very best person for the job, not someone who is “willing to learn”, or that can “bring more passion than anyone else to the job.”

It’s important for people looking for a job to show how their passions can help others, not benefit themselves. If a person’s passion will benefit the company, and not vice-versa, there may be a serious advantage for them. When looking for a job, people should think about ways they can help their employer, this is what will land you the job; thinking about how the job will benefit oneself will do the opposite.
