    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Gutiérrez Monsalve, Nora Elena; Orjuela Gómez, Jonny Javier
    The objective of this work is to characterize the job expectations and preferences of a group of young people from the centennial generation in the process of job placement in the city of Medellín. Research that accounts for the meanings, perceptions, expectations and work preferences of a group of young people, men and women, who can be identified as centennials, that is, those who were born between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the period in which they are Information and Communication Technologies fully installed in society as a whole; a completely digital native population. Using a qualitative methodology, interviews are carried out with 10 young people from the city, to collect the perceptions, meanings, expectations and work preferences of this population, most of whom are finishing their professional studies or starting their working life. As a result, it is evident that young centennials want to be independent and assume that work is part and not the center of their existence. Their time is not only for work, they demand flexible schedules, alternating attendance at their companies and being able to enjoy daily rest and their social and family life; These young people want new challenges, hence moving from one job to another is not traumatic, as if it were for previous generations who dreamed of joining a company and staying there for the duration of their working life, until they reach retirement. The work concludes that the centennial generations are shaping a new type of worker, hence the need for companies to understand them better, to know how to scrutinize their skills and understand their tastes to better respond to their vital and leisure needs.
