THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MD. Frldty, Dtcembtr 'I Money matters: By SYLVIA PORTER You have been warned that now--during Christmas vacation-- is the lime for you (or your son or daughter) to apply for a job in summer '73. What down-to-earlh specifics might guide you on this? Here are several refreshing ones which emerged from interviews wilh 150 employers across the country my Mrs. Mynena Leilh, editor of the annual "Summer Kmployment Directory." Personal data: Send full details on yourself, in the form of a resume, wilh your first lettei of application-not in a follow-up to this letter. References: Choose people who will respond immediately and who know you well in relation to the job (or at, least to the world of work).

Former employers or teachers are generally good references, but not a professor who had you 'in class of 100. Next door neighbors, pastors, family friends may be good references, but only if they know something about you in a work situation. Employers prefer an honest, informative appraisal of your abilities to a "glowing" reference. Check your references before you submit their names, addresses and zip codes. and work experience: List actual experience or related experience, (working as a camp counselor vs.

attending a summer camp). If you are applying for a camp job, include any experience, paid or voluntary, working with young children, adolescents, low income and or minority groups. Spedial sklllc Be as specific as you can and be honest. Don't try to answer questons the way you flunk an employer might want to hear them answered. Give details on your strengths and weaknesses in, say, tennis or golf, other sports.

Availability lor work I Give both the starting date or your availability and the term during which you can work. Indicate whether you'll be available for pre-season weekends or weeks (often starling the last week in April). Try to make yourself available for the full season, not Here's some down-to-earth advice on getting a summer vacation job Just number ol weeks. Give your earliest possible arrival and latest departure dates. Be specific too on when you'll be available for an interview.

Stick to fact. If you overstate your age to get a job with a minimum age requirement or in a state where age minimums are required for some jobs and if then your lie is discovered later, this well might lead your employer to refuse to give you a favorable reference for a future job. for applying: Be as concise as possible in stating why you want this particular summer job--for this is a key area of interest to employers. Dp sufficient homework on the job and the employer to be, able to state your reasons specifically. Note: employers are un- turned off by the attitude that you want the job to have a vacation.

Tips for yourself: Be businesslike, not smart-alecky, in both your application and your job interview; Emphasize your willingness to learn; Stress what you Know how to do rather than how much you know; Be prepared to state verbally or in your application the minimum salary for which you would work; --Respond promptly to correspondence or phone calls; State as specifically as you can what job you want; --If you take a definite position on the use of alcohol and-or drugs, state this position; Do enough homework to Be able to state why you think your particular skill, training and experience would be appropriate for the job or employer; Add any appropriate background information on yourself, and your work experience to your application if questions covering these points are not included; Do not apply unless you really want the job; --Include a stamped reply envelope and a photograph, particularly if a personal interview is not feasible not for clues to your color but to show your personal appearance. And let all employers know if and when yoii have accepted one job so-as not to block somebody else's chances.
