Mr. Statman.

The next is "financial position necessitates immediate employment?
In other words, that would indicate that even though he might be qualified for a certain level of work, financially exigencies would force him into taking the first thing that came along.

Mr. Jenner.

The important thing then was to get a job right away?

Mr. Statman.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

And after he has gotten it, he might be able to entertain getting some other job?

Mr. Statman.

Right--in other words, I might be a civil engineer, but I've just come into town and I will wash dishes until I can get enough money to get my immediate needs taken care Of so I can hunt for a job.
Underneath here, "Brother, junior executive, Acme Brick Co.; brother--Staff Sergeant, Air Force," and the initials of the interviewer that talked to him--it is 10-10-62 and it has H.P.C., which is Helen P. Cunningham.

Mr. Jenner.

That is the lady I am about to interview?

Mr. Statman.

That's right. Now, as I say, this document was prepared by two people, by Don Brooks, acting as the initial application taker, and by Helen Cunningham in her capacity as a counselor.
"Applicant's characteristics," this is just a word picture of the interviewer's or counselor's idea on this applicant. We use that in order to, when we are looking through to call in somebody for jobs, you can kind get an idea of what impression they have made on our personnel. Now, their impression was "well groomed and business suit"--something.

Mr. Jenner.

I think it reads, "Well groomed and spoken, business suit, alert replies expressed serf extremely well.

Mr. Statman.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

In whose handwriting is that?

Mr. Statman.

Well, I don't know; it's either Don Brook's or Helen Cunningham's, so Helen can verify that. Now, the lower half of this inside card indicates any placement action we have taken with this person.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Statman.

Now, we referred him on 10/10 to Harrel Huntington--I can't read this.

Mr. Jenner.

Let me give it a try--H-a-r-r-e-l [spelling] and H-a-r-r-i-n-g-t-o-n [spelling].

Mr. Statman.

You are better at that; you must have had hieroglyphics in school. The job was a messenger job.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; it looks like they are architects---that Harrel and Harrington---it looks like Exchange "Exch"; Is that correct?

Mr. Statman.

That's probably where the job was---at Exchange Park, the job was messenger at $1.50 an hour, and no indication of what disposition was made. They should have posted probably "not hired" in there and then they called him in about a job for Dallas Transit as messenger and no referral was offered.

Mr. Jenner.

What does that mean?

Mr. Statman.

That means that after he got there, either the job was filled or they decided that maybe he wasn't qualified for it.

Mr. Jenner.

What is the date of that?

Mr. Statman.

He was called in 10-26-62 by telephone message, so apparently they talked to him on the phone and decided not to refer him. Then a call-in card was sent to him--this was a message card by mail 5-3-63.

Mr. Jenner.

That would be May 3, 1963?

Mr. Statman.

Yes. Now, he didn't respond to this, so we issued an E--19, which inactivated his card. In other words, after 3 working days, if he doesn't respond, we deem this person not available. Then, a telephone message on 10-7-63 was sent and then on 10-8-63 he was referred to Solid State Electronics.

Mr. Jenner.

Does it indicate the kind of job?

Mr. Statman.

Yes; as a sales clerk and it paid $350 a month. and he was not hired. On 10-9-63 he was referred to Burton-Dixie as a clerk trainee at $1.25 an hour. He was not hired. On 10-15 he was called on the phone and referred direct on the same day to Trans-Texas as a cargo handler, and he
