   not necessarily. they could be doing it just to help. however, if they force them to pursue certain jobs then yes. that is when they become too involved.

   Telling your kid, "Hey, I was talking to Jennifer who works at Wacky Widgets and she said they have an opening for someone who has the skills you do" is fine.

   Dressing up as your child to go on an interview for them is something else.

   I dont think so… when my kids are older I would help them in a job search if they asked for help… I wouldnt do everything for them but I would help…. I think its the opposite anymore, a lot of parents are involved too little in their kids lives

   Of course that depends on the nature of the help. If it is their first job they are looking for…say they are 15…if you can give them tips on where to apply, how to apply, go over their resume and help them design it, discover the things they’ve done that are good to put on it, give them interview tips etc…then that is fine. If you are going out and putting in their resumes or going up to the boss with them and talking for them etc, then that is wrong. It is too involved and it is over protective and rediculous. You can’t get directly involved in their job search…they have to be mature enough and independant enough to do that themselves or how will they manage to do a job.
