[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contributing to the problem is many young adults I know (kids of friends and colleagues, our sitters) graduate from college with very little real work experience because they spent their free time and summers in academic, sports and other extracurricular pursuits. I’ve asked many colleagues (government agencies) what their kids are doing this summer or where they’re working and discovers very few had regular jobs. My colleagues didn’t want them to have to work like they did or felt as if their kids are too good to work fast food and retail jobs.

When I was a hiring manager (entry level IT, help desk and sales for well known media company) of recent college grads, I eliminated candidates with no work experience and often hired candidates who worked retail or restaurants through college because I knew they could hustle and had drive (and I was right).

I agree with this.

I am an attorney now. I started working retail jobs at 16 years old. It gave me My own money and taught me how to act in a workplace. Another colleague who had similar jobs used to remark about the new attorneys who seemed to have very little understanding of how to get along at a job because they had never worked. We both agreed that we learned some of our most valuable work and people skills in our part time retail jobs in HS and college.[/quote]

The Job Listing Site Highlighting H-1B Positions So Americans Can Apply - https://www.newsweek.com/h1b-jobs-now-america...-green-cards-2041404

This site is awesome because it finds job listings meant to only be seen by H1Bs. Every American application to the job prevents it from being given to an H-1B.

So these employers conduct phony labor market tests, advertising the jobs in obscure newspapers in the hope that no American sees them. This website takes those hidden ads and posts them online. If Americans apply, the labor market test fails, and the H-1B’s green card is temporarily suspended until they try again.

Every qualified American should apply to these jobs so it creates headaches for the company where they’ll think twice about sponsoring visas.[/quote]
