	//First link always starts with Null
	EmployeeList()
	{

	}
	
	public boolean isEmpty()

	}
	
	//Insert 
	public void insertFirstEmployee(String emName, int idNumber)
	{
		Employee newEmployee = new Employee (emName,idNumber);
		newEmployee.next = firstEmployee;
		firstEmployee = newEmployee;
	}
	
	public Employee removeFirst()
	{
		Employee linkReference = firstEmployee; 
		
		if(!isEmpty())
		{

		}   
		else 
		{
			System.out.println("Empty Link List");
		}
		
		return linkReference;	
	}
	
	public void display()
	{
		Employee theEmployee = firstEmployee;
		
		while (theEmployee != null)
		{
			theEmployee.display();
		System.out.println("Next Employee " + theEmployee.next);
		theEmployee = theEmployee.next;
		System.out.println();
		}
	}
	public Employee find(String emName)
	{
		Employee theEmployee = firstEmployee;
		
		if(!isEmpty())
		{
			while(theEmployee.emName != emName)
			{
			
				if(theEmployee.next  == null)
				{
					return null;
				}
				else 
				{
					theEmployee = theEmployee.next;
				}		
			}
		}
		else 
		{
			System.out.println("Empty Link List");
		}
		return theEmployee;
	}
	
	public Employee removeEmployee(String emName)
	{
		Employee currentEmployee = firstEmployee;
		Employee previousEmployee = firstEmployee;
	 
		while(currentEmployee.emName != emName)
		{
			if (currentEmployee.next == null)
			{
				return null; 
			}
			else
		    {
				previousEmployee = currentEmployee; 
				currentEmployee = currentEmployee.next;
			}
		}
		
		if (currentEmployee == firstEmployee)
		{
			firstEmployee = firstEmployee.next;
		} 
		else 
		{
			previousEmployee.next = currentEmployee.next;
		}
	
		return currentEmployee;

Hi Friend,
You added record with emName as
theEmployeeList.insertFirstEmployee("Jason " , 1);

and trying to find with
System.out.println(theEmployeeList.find("Jason").emName + " Found");

If you note you are missing a blank space after the name it should be like
System.out.println(theEmployeeList.find("Jason ").emName + " Found");

Bro THANKYOU SOMUCH I DIDNT NOTICE THAT HAHAHA
This construct
Java
System.out.println(theEmployeeList.find("Jason").emName + " Found");

is bad because it don't handle a fail of find.
And when it fail,
Java
theEmployeeList.find("Jason").emName

throw the exeption
<Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at Employee.main(Employee.java:38)>
