[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he on LinkedIn? He really should be there networking and looking for jobs. It takes time, but he will find a job. Cover letters are not needed for tech jobs. [/quote]

Thank you! that's good to know! I'll stop urging him to write cover letters!

He is on LinkedIn, but not really using it to look for a job, as far as I can tell. Networking? I don't think he has any idea how to network, and he won't listen to me. Getting him an interviewing coach would help, as maybe he'd listen to them. But getting him there...?? How to do this? He doesn't even accept that he has any kind of disability, which clearly he does! [/quote]

My DD just went through job hunting. It is imperative to have an interview coach. I suspect your son wants to land a job at FAANG, and does not even look at anything else. He should consider mature startups. What is is his field? Data science? I dont think it is his disability that prevents his from finding a job, rather he probably is rigid with the options and not persistent enough. It is a grueling process full of disappointment, stress. Hiring picked up towards this fall, now is a good time to look for jobs.
