Dear Annie: Now that it's 2017, my son will be graduating from college in just a few months, and I have to admit I'm a little worried. He's gotten good grades as a finance major with a minor in business, which I think makes him pretty marketable. He's also done a couple of internships, one with a big-name company and one with a startup, but neither has yet offered him a regular full-time job. 亲爱的安妮：再过几个月，我儿子就要大学毕业了。说实话，我现在对他有一点儿担心。他在学校主修金融学，辅修商科，成绩优异，我觉得他在求职市场上会很有竞争力。他曾做过几份实习，既有著名的大公司，也有初创公司，但到现在还没有一家公司给他一份全职工作。 I know the job market is still pretty weak, and although I hate to think of myself as the dreaded "helicopter parent" always hovering nearby, I still think he could use some help. My husband and I are both well-connected in our respective fields, so should we be introducing our son to people who might know of job openings, or is that a bad idea? What do you and your readers recommend? ------ Minnesota Mom 我知道，现在工作很不好找，虽然我不想变成可怕的“直升机父母”，整天形影不离、喋喋不休地问长问短。但我觉得，他也许需要我的帮助。我和孩子爸爸在各自的工作领域内人脉很广，我们是否应该托熟人介绍些工作机会给儿子？这是不是个好办法？你和你的读者有什么建议吗？——一位来自明尼苏达州的母亲。 |
