[quote=Anonymous]I agree with volunteering, temping, etc. in any role. Look for groups related to his career aspirations in Meetup and go to those gatherings to learn. It will be good for his mental health and possibly expose him to more people for potential networking. Also, when I've hired new grads who have been out of school for a few months I'd always ask what they have been doing with their time. Good answers are PT/short-term jobs, personal projects, etc. Just hanging out and focusing on the job hunt, not so much. One volunteer thing for tech people - help the Internet Archive. This is a really important resource that documents websites (especially important as Doge is destroying content on government sites) https://archive.org/about/volunteer-positions I really feel for kids graduating into this market. My DS, also VT, is lucky (so far) to have a job starting in June but he's the only one in his friend group with a job. Your DS is not alone. [/quote]
