CAMPUS-TO-CAREER CASE HISTORY ’S’ ' Pete McCullough (center) discusses requirements for new telephone equipment with Traffic and Plant Managers. Success story—with a moral to it Robert G. “Pete” McCullough got his Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia in June, 1953. In September, he took a j oh selling for a manufacturing firm. He was hurriedly trained—and, after 23,000 miles on the road, decided he wasn’t fully using his capabilities. He resigned and contacted his college Placement Office. Interviews with a host of firms followed. Pete chose the New York Telephone Company. That was April, 1954. He spent the next 13 months training—getting basic experience as installer, repairman, frameman, staff assistant, etc. He was then appointed Service Foreman. In January, 1957, he moved over to the business side of the company. In May, 1957, he became a supervisor. In January, 1958, he managed a business office serving 25,000 customers, with 42 people reporting to him. In October, 1958, Pete was promoted again—to District Commercial Mana ger. Reporting to him now are two business office managers, nine super visors and 54 service representatives and clerical personnel. There are 64,000 customers in the territory he heads up. That’s Pete’s story—up to now. Fu ture promotions depend on him. Op portunities are practically unlimited in the Bell Telephone Companies for Pete and many young men like him. Moral: The most capable of men need good training and honest pro motion opportunities to move ahead as they should. Shop carefully for your career. And be sure to talk to the Bell interviewer when he visits your campus. Pete is active in civic affairs. Here, as chairman of a Boy Scout fund drive, he confers with R. A. McCaffrey, Branch Manager for the First Natioi ! City Bank of New York.
