Last week I put up a second post, What Candidates Look For In A Job on a webinar conducted by Monster and DDI. In that post I highlighted the disconnect between what the candidate is looking for and what the employer believes they are looking for. Age is a factor in the responses and I promised to share that information with you. So here you go, the top 4 reasons by age group in order of importance:

Less than 20 Years Old
A creative/fun workplace culture.
A compatible work group/team.
A good manager/boss.
Opportunities to learn and grow.

21 to 30 Years Old
Opportunities to learn and grow.
Opportunity to advance.
An organization you can be proud to work for.
A good manager/boss.

31 to 40 Years Old
Opportunities to learn and grow.
Opportunity to advance.
A good manager/boss.
An organization you can be proud to work for.

41 to 50 Years Old
Opportunities to learn and grow.
A good manager/boss.
An organization you can be proud to work for.
Opportunity to advance.

Greater than 50 Years Old
A good manager/boss.
An organization you can be proud to work for.
