[quote=Anonymous]I see lots of new post grads and the ones whose parents call get a huge mark against them.

Are you a MoC? Are you my boss?

No. Then I could care less.

Sorry, your precious child, who is so smart and went to all the right schools should be able to take initiative. I don’t mind a “do you mind talking to my sweet kid” especially when the parent isn’t in my field or I have something in common w the kid. But the initiative needs to be on the kid.

Make the intro and back off.

There is also no shortage of jobs. Go work at cvs or Starbucks or babysit and volunteer until you get the office job of your entry level dreams. The degree doesn’t entitle you to work.

And to the person thinking their perfect Biff can’t get work because he’s a white man, I run our DEI efforts and the last 3 new grads who came across my desk were all white boys. I helped all 3 of them and they are all working now. They weren’t jerks or expecting anything. They were smart, eager and took initiative. [/quote]
