HOW TO AVOID BURNING BRIDGES WITH PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS

13/12/2017

This article, written by Laura Slingo from the UK’s leading independent job board CV-Library, has been written for you to share with your teenager so you can help them to understand what is expected of them in the working world and how their actions have consequences.

​Sometimes we say things in the heat of the moment and regret our choice of words and phrasing. For teenagers, still learning the ways of the world, it can be easy to find oneself ruled by one’s emotions, and fly off the handle at a misunderstanding, burning bridges before they’ve even been built. Understanding what is expected of you in the world of work will help you to start your career the right way and enable you to avoid burning bridges with employers which could cause costly mistakes.

Alice in Wonderland: Which way should I go?
Cat: That depends on where you are going.
Alice: I don’t know.
Cat: Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.

​The same advice applies to your child’s career. Which is why students that don’t like to think about work and careers, that assume work will work itself out, often struggle to get the kind of job they want. And the world of work can be confusing. Did you know that 80% of employers don’t mind what students study? This means that your qualifications won’t always determine what job your child will end up doing.
