Employable youth
Just as a searchlight breaks through the darkness, so do willingness to serve, receptivity to job training, creativity, productivity, honesty, and dependability break through the lack of experience employers often cite as the reason for not hiring young people.
Statistics may report high youth unemployment. But a young person seeking a job can recognize that in his true being he represents God and is not a statistic. God's plan and purpose include everyone and are continually unfolding. The Mind that has provided our abilities also establishes the niche in which to use them fully.
Living these truths can help us find a job. And we can start job hunting by looking for ways to express our God-given talents—to be continually about our Father's business—right where we are. We can follow the example of Christ Jesus, who was willing even as a boy to serve God, whether he was conversing with scholars or doing carpentry work. As we do this, we start listening for divine Mind's direction, stop outlining what kind of job we want, and are willing to use our skills to the utmost in what's available.
