So I had a long chat the other day with a teenage friend who has recently graduated from highschool and is having a heck of a time finding a job. We discussed why this might be the case. He doesn’t get called back, he has had perhaps two interviews and he’s been out of school for about six months.
He hasn’t got much work experience but has some. He was active in student government and is reasonably intelligent and well spoken. Between myself and another friend, we think we may have figured it out.
