Almost failed course for being 'unassertive'
Dear Career Advisor:
My daughter, who is a final year student, did an internship last summer which formed part of her overall grade. Although her work-site supervisor commended her, she received a grade well below her expectation, which we find puzzling. Her supervisor remarked that although she did well in terms of tasks, she was not assertive. I think this is so unfair as my daughter has always been a shy person. Why should she be penalised for this when she worked hard?

Jamaica Observer: Quit job search for grad school?
Dear Career Advisor:
Since completing my programme of study a few months ago, I have been unsuccessful in securing a job although I have been very diligent in searching. Even so, I feel like I am at a crossroads and I'm not sure what to do, because my recent graduation has re-ignited my desire to do further studies. Should I just apply for grad school and abandon this seemingly futile search for a job?
Yours truly
