A school in New York advertises

A school in New York advertises a
course in asking for a job Which may
not be as silly as it sounds. There is no
doubt that many capable applicants for
positions spoil their chances by awkward
and unimpressive methods of approach.
Statesmen are taught how to act in the pres.
ence of prospective customer. Selling
ones self to prospective employer is the
height of craftsmanship. Why may it not
be taught?
