Vacancies for Engineers.
Are you an engineer? If SO, are
you working in a war industry In
a position which calls for all of the
training and experience that you
have had up to the present time?
If this is the case, please forget what
I am about to say. Clearly, the
United States Government doesn't
want to be party to shifting quail
ified persons from war industries to
the Government service. We would
be simply robbing Peter to pay Paul.
We would not be advancing the war
program.
But II you are not 80 employed,
then I do have q message for you.
Right here in Washington alone we
are being asked to fill 1000 engi-
neering positions a week. Field
establishments of the war agencies
require an equal number. We have
hundreds of vacancies that have
not yet been filled. For example,
we need all of the marine engineers
and naval architects that we can
find. We need aeronautical engi-
neers. We need radio engineers.
Let me put it this way. If you
are an engineer, and if you are
not now working in war industry
at q position that calls for all OF
the training and experience you
have had, write Immediately to
principal Examiner in Engineer
ing, United States Civil Service
Commission, Washington, D. c."
The war has made it necessary for
your Government to place tremen'
dous powers in the hands OF the
executive branch. These powers
must be exercised by the very best
persons we can find. Otherwise
the entire country will suffer.
Many Of those powers cannot bt
exercised In the right way unless
we can find for some OF the wal
agencies persons who have unusual
qualifications in the field Of eco.
nomics. That is, we need econo-
mists who have had background
OF education and experience in such
industries as foods, communications
and leather. We need economists
who have participated in marketing
studies, or who have made price
analyses Of particular commodities
Specialists Needed.
But, in addition to economists, w
need industrial and business spe.
cialists who have thorough knowl.
edge Of production, processing ane
distribution in such areas as non.
ferrous metals, machine tools, plas.
tics, chemicals and marine equip.
ment
And then, too, We want econo.
mists who have become specialist.
in the economic life of foreign coun.
tries. They are In great demand a.
the present time.
The salaries for the positions thai
I have been talking about range al
the way from $4,000 a year te
$1,000 a year.
II you feel that these needs might
provide you with an opportunity
of serving your country in these
critical days, write to "Principa
Examiner in Economics, United
States Civil Service Commission
Washington, D. c."
