In third class, college students must complete a one-week observation internship in a company. Annoyed by a resume request demanded by a boss, Florence Corbet, mother of a student from Joué-lès-Tours (Indre-et-Loire), wrote her son’s with a lot of humor, and posted it on LinkedIn. His post quickly went viral, prompting many comments.
” You know what ? This is the first time I’ve written on LinkedIn (and maybe the last) but here, all the same… My 14-year-old son is looking for his 3rd year observation internship and we ask him for his CV. Seriously guys??? Did you have a CV when you were 14? “ she wrote in particular on the social network on October 18.
“Learning to walk – November 2009”
Thanks to this CV posted on LinkedIn, we learn that “Loulou” first carried out a “baby” CDD for three years from August 2008 to August 2011, a period during which he “put in place the internal processes necessary for the functioning of a family and I coached my parents on the optimization of their free time” with as “main achievements: first teeth in March 2009 and learning to walk in November 2009”. Then from “September 2019, “Loulou” became a hooded geek”, a position he still currently holds, on a fixed-term contract. “I’m trying to survive adolescence, global warming and my freakish parents”, it is also indicated.
Among her son’s best achievements, his mother notes the “best Spiderman costume at the school carnival in February 2014” and his title of “world champion of the unlikely haircut” in March 2020. For his search for internship, it gives him a single objective: “to become a nice adult in a not too stupid world”. Note that “Loulou” in question has different experiences in the field of “coding weird stuff, connecting cables, tidying up the room and emptying the dishwasher”.
“A pedagogical aspect for a teenager to make a CV”
The 14-year-old’s mom didn’t expect her post to go viral. “As a digital native, he should learn to be able to create and share maximum value to a virtual audience from an early age. It is a bit about the future of humanity, ”replied an equally ironic user. “Another “mom” who does in place of her child because she is “outraged” by what is asked of her Loulou. There was perhaps an educational aspect to a teenager making a CV or at least seeing what it is, since it is his first immersion in business, ”added another Internet user.
Lasting five days, middle school students must complete an internship in a company in 3rd grade to “discover the world of work, share the daily life of professionals and benefit from concrete experience”, writes the Ministry of National Education. This internship is mandatory and requires an agreement between the company and the school.
