Self Centered Attitude
Is All Wrong.
II you can capture that viewpoint,
you'll have hurdled one Of the great
est obstacles in finding a job. Up
until now, you've been getting an
education-receiving knowledge and
training. From now on your chief
task will be to give rather than to
receive, to deliver rather than to
get.
A lot Of young people can't make
that transition. They're still inter-
ested in getting all they can. Their
attitude is self-centered. Their pay
check is the important thing, and a
job is merely the necessary evil that
produces that vital pay check.
That's very natural and human
attitude. but it isn't one that charms
an employer. Get rid Of it. Put
yourself in the employers shoes. fig

an employe. and then show him that
you can give it to him!

let.
Meanwhile, we want to make a
suggestion today on what we feel is
one Of the most important angles Of
this whole employment-hunti
business. And that's your ability to
look at the job from your prospective
employers point of view, and show
some appreciation of his problems.
One of the things which impresses
us in our talks with job-hunting fell
lows and girls is the all-too- frequent
absence Of that very ability. Here's
Mary, for example, who wants-and
badly needs-a position as stenog-
rapher. And she Is so earnestly
anxious to get that weekly check
coming in that she can't think about
anything but her own problem. And
when she talks to prospective en-
ployer, he senses that attitude on her
part.
Now, you can't blame Mary too
much, because she is worried. But
that frame of mind is hurting her
chances Of landing position. An
employer, no matter how kind
hearted and considerate he may be
in his personal relationships, is
forced to consider Mary's applica-
ton on the basis of her ability
to do job for him and not on
how badly she needs work or how
worthy of help she is.
And the employer has his prob
lens, too. In spite Of all the people
who are unemployed it isn't easy
to find the applicant who can best
do particular job and who can
fit smoothly and comparatively into
an organization.
So before you write a job applica-
ton letter or go into an Office for an
interview, try to put yourself in the
employers place. What does Mr.. x
want in stenographer? What does
the Blank store need and expect
from its employees? What are the
particular problems Of the Jones
company and how could you assist
in their solution?
Making the Right
Impression.
If you can put yourself in that
frame of mind your prospective en-
ployer is bound to sense it and be
impressed. He has his problems
and here you are, possible en-
ploye, looking at things from his
point of view, trying to figure out
how you can be of help to him.
That's the attitude every employer
is looking for. If you have it, and
if you possess the ability to do the
job, he's going to be strongly i'm
PEELED to hire you. In fact, the
right attitude can often compensate
for lack of training and partially
for lack Of ability.
The smaller the organization Is
and the more direct the employer 6
contacts are with his employees. the
more important this attitude Is
But even when applying for work
in large organizatlon-in fac
tory, for example, where you will
be only one tiny cog in a huge ma

BY EMILY POST.

To accept money from a man
even from the man a girl is going to
marry-is something so far outside
the subject of this column that it
has to be dismissed entirely. But
do feel 1t necessary to answer the
girl who tells me that etiquette is
all upside down and then explains:
THE man I'm going to marry
bought me some new skis and a
jacket to ski in, on my birthday. He
thought these presents were entirely
proper. I had suggested beforehand
that he give me the amount he
meant to spend on my birthday
present, to put toward a sum I have
been saving to buy fur jacket. But
he thought people would think i'll
of such thing if they heard about
it. Please tell me, Mrs. Post, why
propriety would frown on his con-
tributing to clothing that need and
want very much and yet it smiles on
sports clothes that I didn't want
very much, and skis that have lit
tie chance to USE"
My answer to this is that etiquette
would be upside down" if it ap-
proved of his giving you anything
that comes under the definitely
named tabu wearing apparel" A
ski jacket that is very inexpensive
and belonging in the category of a
sports speciality. might be consid-
cred proper. At least 1t would not
seem impossible to classify 1t with
skis, or skates, both of which are
entirely proper. A jacket that could
be worn to town. lovely one of fur

what your f1ance could have done
that might have pleased you more.
andYat the same time caused no risk
of gossip, would have been to put
the amount into savings account
to which he might keep adding from
time to time in order to buy the
lovely fur jacket you want, as soon
as you are married.
