For the past few weeks, three of our children have been spending a lot of time on the interview circuit as Cameron is looking for an internship and Meg is looking for a part time accounting position. One of our older sons has had a few interviews as well, but since he is currently gainfully employed and not sure what he wants to do in the future, it isn't quite as big of a priority. I have talked to him less about it than Meg and Cameron, but after listening to the two of them I have remembered how much I hate job searching. Networking, using search engines, interviewing, and never hearing back from prospective employers is just a few of the reasons that I wish that no one in the Heinisch family ever had to look for another job ever.
I realize that my wish is completely unrealistic, so instead, I will wish that they find a position that they enjoy and that provides them with the income that they need. Cameron has had some fantastic interviews so far and has even moved on to the second round for several highly sought after positions at prestigious companies. He hasn't gotten an offer yet but is hopeful that he will soon. Meg has been praised at each interview that she has gone to as employers have been extremely impressed with her resume. All of that has been nice, but every time they have told her that they would contact her the following week with an offer, she has heard nothing. That has been extremely annoying to her.
I definitely feel frustrated for Cameron and Meg, not because they won't get a position, but because it is very hard to wait. Hopefully, soon they will both have jobs and their older brother will have a clear path to what he wants to do next. Until then, I will just keep trying to be as supportive as I can.
