My oldest son wants to be a reporter, and he has the credentials and skills to do that.  I don’t understand why he is having such a tough time landing a reporter job!  We see ads on the Internet, and in the local papers and he replies to the ads, and he never even gets an interview!  The process is very frustrating to both of us because I want him to have a job, ANY job, and he won’t take ANY job.  He will take a reporter job or stay unemployed.  Period.  He has gotten so discouraged that I think he has stopped looking, which is not a good thing!

My sister suggested that I look on an employment website called The Career Network to find out if there are any reporter jobs in our area currently being advertised.  And if I found any, then I could show the openings to my son and he could apply for them.  The website is very easy to use, when you type in the URL http://careernetworkjobs.com/ you are taken to a simple page where you type in the job title you want to look for and the location that you want to work.  So I typed in “reporter” and ”Virginia” and came up with no results at all.  Very discouraging!

Just to test the website’s functionality then I typed in ”receptionist” and “Virginia” and came up with lots of job openings, so it appears that the website works.  So, what can I say, I am discouraged that my son is having such a hard time landing the job of his dreams!
