You can also read Greg's interview on the Orlando JobSpot with Hannah Seligson who has some good advice about targeting this demographic as well.
Another resource would be to check out BrazenCareerist.com. BrazenCareerist is a community of Gen Y bloggers who dish about their work, their lives and what's important to them.To attract the best available Gen. Y talent, companies should get hip to the value this generation places on our time. We are happy to put in the hours, we just don’t want to put in the hours for the sake of it (i.e. face time). So companies should definitely be highlighting their work/life balance initiatives. Also, finding meaningful work is huge for this generation. So anything that speaks to that will build very positive brand awareness.
