[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like sometimes kids form middle or working class families do not know how to navigate the professional world. it is not like that is taught in school - skills sure - but networking, interviewing, and other soft skills aren't taught. Parents who never went to college have a hard time helping kids go to college because they never did it. this is the same time. My daughter is totally into Tennis. I know nothing about tennis. It isn't easy to navigate the tennis culture/coaches/gear because I know nothing. it is the same thing.[/quote] Seriously. LMC here. I never asked anyone for help with a job, even people working at where i was applying. It felt so inappropriate and I thought jobs were hired on merit. My career is so-so, Fed contractor despite elite education. This thread is really eye opening just how much people expect hiring by connections is the norm, not just a leg up?[/quote]
