He asserted that a person should be able to find one or two jobs of the more than 20,000 cataloged that will bring him these three fundament als. Telling of the interest shown by graduates in foreign service, Boyn ton said Over 6,000 companies have businesses in other countries, “Many students only apply to one or two of the more publicize^ com panies with foreign holdings while the New York telephone directory contains 26 pages of firms dealing in foreign trade,” he stated. “Many seniors do not know how to go about getting a job. Still more do not knpw what they want to do,” Boynton said. “In seeking a job,, first know yourself. Know what you can do and what you can not do.. Knowing your abilities, capacity, and likes, then study the various types of jobs—start with accounting arid study through to zoology. Libraries- contain book lets describing many jobs, their qualifications, pay, advantages and disadvantages.” > I ! pill “An applicant often sells him self and then unsells Mmself be cause he does not know how to carry through an interv ew,” Boyn ton said. “Take your cues from the interviewer, try to let him °r ftet him to do most of the talking) but ment Office.
