Myth: You don't know how to do anything.

Myth: You expect to be constantly promoted before you achieve anything.

Myth 1: You're entitled. Myth 2: You care about your work-life balance more than your career. Myth 3: You still like to party

Myth: The best way to keep you is by giving you a chance to do charitable work.

Myth: Millennials do everything in hordes.

Myth: Millennials can't live without their phones.

Myth: You need structure and constant guidance to survive.

Myth: You need to be showered with praise.

Myth: You have no sense of or respect for history.
