THE GIRLS JOB
~ Jessie ROBERTS.

Dear Miss Roberts have read
great deal of your good advice.
and / wonder IL you could help me
with some suggestions.
II have had some difficulty In OBJ
tanning q first class bookkeeping po-
sition, and decided to take course
in higher accounting. have now
finished the course. but the difficul-
ty that confronts me is that this
field does not seem as open to wo-
men as to men.
Now, how EN- I 10 get the right
sort of publicity? How can In
spire confidence IN my ability! What
I want to do Is to specialize In work
for the smaller concerns, or for In
dividuals, educating these TO the
benefit of systematic and correct
method in their business.
"Can you give me an early reply
in the paper. and oblige,
u. L. G."
can only advise perseverance,.
There is no way Of inspiring conf
dence I'm people unless you can show
them what you do. II IL the chance
to show that you want, and beyond
answering advertisements, advertis-
ing yourself, and going personally
to interview any one who might en-
ploy you, know nothing that you
can do. There are, unluckily. a great
many seeking just such positions,
and certainly the road Of the book
keeper and accountant Is hard at
present. As you have found. men
are preferred in this work.
Nevertheless. your idea OF tryins
for a position with an individual OF
small business Is good. You would
not get big salary, but you might
get an interesting opening. and
once you could point TO accomplish
ed work. there would be a better
chance of something more import
ant. Study the trade papers and
run an advertisement In one OF
two OF these. telling just what yor
want 10 do and can do. And dom
give up too quickly. When you u
10 see anyone. try to find out wha'
he wants of you, and prove to hin
that you can give It him.
