Why won't Roanoke's businesses hire young workers?
Brandon Turner
Turner, of Hurt, is a graduate student at Lynchburg College, and has had a lifelong dream of living and working in the Roanoke Valley.
I have attained a bachelor's degree in marketing and am just a few courses away from having my MBA. I have work experience in retail, medical and academic institutions. I have never been written up for violating any company policies, have been praised on high for my customer service skills and always go above my calling to finish a project.
Would you hire me? Oh, I forgot to mention that I am 24 and have no "professional experience."
