consequently leads to wastage of time. The writer is suggesting those grads to
avail other opportunities in order to explore and learn things. It will help them
experiencing things which might help them in future. They can even generate an
income which can help them financially. Moreover, they can also build trust in
themselves which is referred to credibility.

Critic/review:

This article is published by Jodi Glickman in an opinion magazine on 27th of

September, 2019. She is ambitious in her primary focus that is based on how a
newly graduate should proceed with all the options they have laid out for
themselves. She began the article with a condescending tone however, she made
her point of view clear in the next half of her article. The article was started off
with an example of a girl who looked into all her options after she graduated
nonetheless she still ended up with no job, and the reason for this that the writer
has given is that the girl fell for her passion instead of what people really has to
offer her. This article is mainly to persuade the sophomores to broaden their frame
of mind when it comes to looking for professions or jobs. The author had a very
noteworthy point of view, she said in her article that “there is value and learning to
be had from almost any job” this clearly depicts that if one goes for what have their
heart and still does not manage to get a job according to their credibility they
should draw out their options and go for something even small if it has gains that
would be helpful for them in future. She even mentioned that such young grads
should not be worrying about long term, they should always look for three
elements in a job experience, reliability and income. If the job has to offer all three
of this one should go for it because actually this would prove to be beneficial for
them in long haul. The writer has delivered her convictions in a very theoretical
tone. However, the article only included her own personal experience and of an
individual struggling to look for job. She even focused upon only making money
whereas a newly grad should always kingpin the fact that what learning will they
get by indulging into a field. Moreover, there were on no further references of any
other individual, no out of book thoughts. Merely, it seemed like she was trying to
divert sophomores from investing into something that has their and instead give
way to making money. Her article even seemed a bit ironic as she started off the
article with making a point on how one should broaden their opportunities and look
into everything but in the later part her statements were depicting that one should
go for any option that’s comes their way, which is not a sensible point of view
especially coming from a writer as mature as her for we know good thing takes
time and so one should always be specific and should not rush in things specially
in matters as significant and important as this. Since I myself am a newly graduate
I was not really happy after her article as it somehow tried to persuade me from my
own choices they I have made for my own future. In my point of view I guess half
of the readers would not be assured with her piece of writing. Overall, the language
used was not very inducing at many parts she added on some vague terms which
made her point of view debatable, still she did an acceptable job but it would have
been better if there were more references and staunch points so one could make up
their mind and undertake her opinion.
