A description of each presented applicant is necessary because employers are frequently specific in type young blond stenographer or a sturdy middle-aged housekeeper for instance "Help Thy Neighbor" is as interested in pleasing the employer as it is in placing the employe Someone in the files will match the specifications if the interview does not Sometimes an applicant expects too much now and then an employer insists upon the impossible Recently a stenographer offered $18 a week would not take the job because she thought that was not enough "Help Thy Neighbor" promptly struck that young lady's name from its lists Given a start it is up to the applicant from then on to progress or fail This principle of fairness to both the employer and the employe is no doubt the root of the continued growth and popularity of "Help Thy Neighbor" In addition its services are entirely free all expenses being assumed by the sponsor Before going on the air Hal Styles gives applicants a list of questions he will ask them They know the answers and ad lib them While the individual selected is seldom chosen because of outstanding personality Styles generally chooses his subjects with the ex pectation that some entertaining bit of response will develop from his inquiries TAKE YOUR CHOICE OF THESE JOBS One person appearing on a broadcast is sometimes offered a number of jobs He takes his choice of them the balance are given out to registered applicants in the audience In the event that work offers phoned in during the broadcast cannot be matched from the audience persons in the office files best qualified are notified to get in touch with the employer All jobs offered during the week are filled direct from the files "Help Thy Neighbor" is not an opportunity for whiners but it does encourage an unfortunate 'applicant to mention his or her personal disabilities as well as capabilities For example there was the latvyer who had had one eye put out by a missile from a dynamite explosion Without an eye he could not get a job without a job he could not get an eye Immediately after he to141 his story contributions to pay for a glass eye began coming in front kind listeners He was offered besides several temporary jobs YOU TALK PHONE RINGS YOU WORK As job offers are phoned in Mr Styles announces them over the air The applicant's expression of joy as he comes up for his slip giving information on and whereabouts of employment is reflected In the face of the mediator I like "Help Thy Neighbor" be cause it is without the condescension frequently apparent in professional charity The atmosphere is one of sympathy and understandi ing An applicant is not made tt guess there's nothing unusual about my story There are probably a hundred just like it right here in Oklahoma City had a good the boss liked me But he had to let me go in the day that thou stoodest on the other side in the day that strangers carried away his sub stance and foreigners entered into his gates and cast iota upon Jeri salem even thou west as one of A Friendly Council 202 BASSETT every time that someone Hies The If we and we ways Let's gasoline Why?
