@. So many employers demand
experienced stenographers that I
have just about decided to say I
have experience, even though I
haven't. I know other girls who do
this, but do you think it is fair?
And do you think I'd get caught?
A. Apart from the moral question
involved, we think that claiming
stenographic experience which you
do not have is extremely unwise. It
would be stupid employer, indeed,
who was taken in for long by such
a fasehood.
If you got the job, your inexperi-
ence would show up sooner or later
Then your employer would either
realize that you had lied to him,
or he would think you were expert
enced, but just incompetent. So you
couldn't win either way.
Q. Can you tell me what the
meanings are OF stamps placed up
side down, sideways, ETC., on letters.
A. Sorry, but we've never bothered
to find out. We suggest that you
place stamps on your own letters
in the normal position, and consider
any other position on the letters you
receive as purely accidental. Most
young people consider the language
of stamps rather silly and juvenile
business. Using it would be apt to
make you seem rather naive to fel-
lows and girls who know their way
around"
