Parents, here’s what your college grad needs to know about landing a job

I can sum this up very quickly:
-Don’t helicopter your child through college (and preferably not through HS either)…let them grown and learn
-Be supportive yet frank with your child about the realities of the real, professional world
-Always consider the other side beyond what your child says happened or is going on. Again, be supportive but also objective.
