18. Youth/school-leavers/ have no work experience, need to be taught by an experienced colleague havent got developed working methodology, nor the skills required havent got established discipline of work still seeking their own way, do not know what they really want to work have irreal expectations about salary impatience with the progress of their career unwillingness of working mobility have updated knowledge, but often not at required quality and standards good physical bearing capacity
