One of my twins is applying for summer internships, the other is not interested in employment (a separate concern). Applying for internships is not straightforward as evidenced by this anguished message I received:
“[This employer] has just asked me to download their app to apply for an internship. Dante would create a new, linearly independent system of hells for this”
Suzy says
You have my every sympathy.
My younger son has just started his first job, and between LinkedIn and psychometric tests for job applications I think he despaired more than once.
The modern world can be a hell-scape, I think.
belgianwaffle says
It really can. Our poor children.
Lesley says
It’s onerous but might also help to build resilience.
Ellen says
I am also becoming less interested in employment! Two of my colleagues just retired, and it sounds much better.
belgianwaffle says
Mmm. Maybe. It sounds a bit like torture though.
belgianwaffle says
I hear you but that is not an attitude you can have at 19.
