uld like a company president to answer? Education is an important factor to help you reach your goal in life. For many of our specialized opportunities, college or some form of technical training is necessary. For other opportunities, where an elementary school education was once enough and later a high school education was required, a suitable college education is today desirable if the individual is to capitalize fully on his native abilities. All other things being equal, a man or a woman with a good college background and with relatively few years-experience will be better prepared to hold a responsible position and will progress more rapidly than a non-college person, even though the latter has more years of practical experience. The ambitious boy or girl with sights set high must today strive for all possible education, taking advan- tage of our Hne night school facilities if circumstances make it necessary to earn a livelihood upon graduation from high school. In addition to education, and even more important, are your personal qualifications. Good char- acter is a necessity. Absolute honesty, industriousness, and sincerity are some of the facets of character. The inner spark and the confidence that others have in you are present only with high character for which there is no substitute. Dependability is of prime importance to onels progress in the business world, or anywhere else for that matter. The young man or young woman who can always be relied upon to fulfill an assigned task, to discharge a responsibility, or better still, to do more than is expected, will inevitably make the maximum progress in his or her chosen Held. On the other hand, one who is not dependable will just as surely have little, if any, success. Some of these traits are God-given. Some are acquired as we go through life. They are developed in the home, in our churches, in the classroom, and in our daily contact with our friends and neighbors. These qualities, coupled with the willingness to respect the rights of others and your ability to work with people, will better enable you to find employment and to attain success and happiness in business and in life. ia JOHNSON 8: JOHNSON RESEARCH CENTER North Brunswick Township, N.

What is the question most Senic About this article . . . Last winter, Johnson at johnson suggested a project originated by Pitney-Bowes, Inc. to the senior classes of New Brunswick, St. Peter's and High- land Park High Schools. The idea was to have George F. Smith, johnson 8: Iohnson's president, answer the question that was uppermost in the minds of these high school seniors in an article in their respective year books. Mr. Smith agreed as did school principals, faculty advisers, and class officers. Almost 500 seniors cooperated in answering the voluntary questionnaire which read, What is the one question you would most like to ask the President of an in- dustry like johnson 6: Johnson, if you could talk with him in his oflice alone? This article contains the presidents answer to the winning question which appears below in composite form: GEORGE F. SMITH ' President, johnson 6: johnson 0 . I WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A JOB, THE CHANCE Aus FOR ADVANCEMENT, AND WHAT DOES A COMPANY LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING AN EMPLOYEE? O wer' This was the principal question in the minds of the seniors at New Bruns- wick High School, St. Peter's High School, and Highland Park High School. More than 50'Z: of all questions were in this category. This is interesting but not surprising because, obviously enough, it will always be the question in the minds of young men and young women seriously contemplating the years ahead. Fortunately ours is a dynamic nation, offering new challenges and progressively greater opportunities with each new generation. Technological improvements have made it possible to produce more and better products at lower cost. Better products at lower costs create demands for more products, and these demands result in a greater number of opportunities for the working force of our country. Research is continually seeking to improve present products and develop new products. Specialists in other areas of business are constantly searching for new and better methods to reduce costs. This constant drive coupled with the competitive nature of our economic system brings more and more products within reach of more people and creates new and better jobs. America's streamlined production facilities require high-paid technicians to operate machines which replace the less efficient machines of yesterday. The opportunities and responsibilities in oilice and managerial ranks are correspondingly enhanced. ' Yom' opportunities for work and advancement are, therefore, excellent providing you have the qualifications to fill the jobs available. In considering an applicant's qualiiications close attention is given his education, his personality, his background and his experience. 100
