For early careerists, the current job marketplace presents unique difficulties, and many have been unable to immediately launch their careers after graduating college. Parents of these job seekers face a similarly challenging situation: They want to see their adult children successfully launch their careers, but many do not understand how to effectively support them through this process.

With the holidays approaching — and pandemic restrictions still in place — parents and job seekers may be spending time together, so it’s vital for parents to understand the important role they play in this process.

Here are four ways parents can help their early careerist get hired.

1. Recognize today’s reality.

It’s vital for parents to understand that the hiring landscape for early careerists has changed dramatically since they sought their first jobs.

Houston’s own The Undertaker bids final farewell to WWE after 30-year career

[email protected]_84 November 23, 2020

It’s the end of an era.

Mark William Calaway—known by his wrestling alias as The Undertaker—bid his final farewell Sunday night, officially retiring after 30 years with World Wrestling Entertainment.

“My time has come to let the Undertaker rest in peace,” he said in his final moment.

The “Dead Man,” born and raised in the Bayou City found his love for wrestling while attending Friday night shows at the Sam Houston Coliseum in the 1970s and ’80s. He finally responded to his calling in 1990, debuting as a partner of Ted “The Million Dollar Man” at the then-WWF’s Survivor Series.

Calaway’s WWE credentials include multiple WWE and World Heavyweight Champion and six tag team titles, among other accolades.

His WWE biography describes the veteran wrestler as “a true in-ring pioneer, having been part of many WWE firsts, including the

How the College Football Playoff works

[email protected]_84 November 23, 2020

Well after that, a system of two polls picked champions, sometimes two different champions. Peak absurdity came in 1978, when one poll declared Southern California the winner while the other named Alabama, even though Southern California had manhandled Alabama in Alabama that year. All the confusion finally gave way to a Bowl Championship Series from 1998-2013, in which a phalanx of humans and computers would choose two teams to play in one championship game.

Eventually, or very eventually, that gave way to the current system, the College Football Playoff.

How does it work?

It works complicatedly, as with the rest of the 151-year history of college football. A 13-member committee meets five or six or seven times per autumn in a gaudy hotel near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. That committee studies the weekend gone by and issues top-25 rankings for five straight Tuesday nights, usually through late October, all

[email protected]_84 November 23, 2020

Phoenix police spokesperson Tommy Thompson, who is retiring after 37 years of service, reminisces about his career at the Phoenix Police Department.

Arizona Republic

For 37 years, Sgt. Tommy Thompson has served in various roles within the Phoenix police department, including most recently as police spokesman. No matter what the role, the throughlines have been faith, pride and wanting positive forces to remain at work.

Thompson started as a patrol officer with the department in 1983. He was promoted to sergeant in 1989 and starting in 1992 spent 16 years with the department’s drug enforcement bureau, calling that his “favorite” assignment over the years in his Thursday interview with The Arizona Republic.

Thompson became a spokesperson for the department in 2008. It was a fitting assignment for the sergeant, who prior to joining the police department was an aspiring broadcast journalist preparing a demo reel to send to television

Students at New York’s Columbia Business School who recently violated the university’s COVID-19 travel policy are temporarily prohibited from attending in-person classes.

The group of 70 MBA students had traveled to the island of Turks and Caicos on a trip that was not school-sponsored. None of the students have been suspended.

“An important part of Columbia’s public health protocols is that there are consequences for community members who violate the university’s health compact,” a Columbia Business School spokesperson told “Good Morning America.”

In its COVID-19 travel restrictions listed for the fall 2020 semester, the Columbia University website states, “All academic or work-related travel, domestic or international, is suspended.”

University of Michigan student named 2021 Rhodes Scholar

[email protected]_84 November 23, 2020

ANN ARBOR, MI – Amytess Girgis was overpowered with intense, competing emotions when she received word she had been named a Rhodes Scholar.

Girgis, a senior at the University of Michigan, was one of 32 Americans to be awarded as a prestigious Rhodes Scholar, becoming part of a diverse class that includes 22 students of color – the most ever elected in one year in the United States.

That fact wasn’t lost on Girgis, who is Iranian and Egyptian, causing her to consider the weight of the implications of the scholarship.

“I am both celebrating and mourning the fact that Cecil Rhodes would be turning over in his grave if he knew that an Iranian-Egyptian American woman had won this scholarship,” Girgis told MLive. “The Rhodes Trust recognizes this. It’s both a sad and beautiful thing that we can work toward the reconciliation that needs to happen to undo these
