Vegetable Oil Is Our Middle Name
career in exhibition? Has anybody else in
the immediate family ever worked in a local
or out-of-town theatre? What is the educational
status of the applicant? Are there (in
instance of high school, for example) schedules
to preclude matinee work? Does the
applicant drive or have access to a car?
These are questions to consider. The latter
can be significant, especially for a single
unit or complex situated beyond conventional
public transportation lines.
Job interview conversation should touch
on personal likes and dislikes as far as movie
taste is concerned. Getting someone to talk
about motion pictures he or she likes i<
sound, since you are selling a glamorous
product, and if the applicant goes to work
for you, disinterest can ofttimes be reflectec

infuse touches of ebullience.
Taking on an individual who has driftec

everybody else'll be going out?", "Can'
this crummy place pay more dough thai
we're
getting?"

across th|
U.S. point up time and again that switchin
jobs may well provide wider experienc
and help limit career stagnation, but a back
ground of job-hopping is not to be note'
casually. The differential involved is whet?
er the person decided to leave a job becaus
of lack of career advancement, or perhap
was too anxious to seek a higher salan
The latter situation does not necessaril
mean inefficiency as much as it reflects
desire to better one's self, and under sue
circumstances, hiring the person and keep

When it comes to salary, the minimui
federal wage law applies, of course. Beyon
that, however, the bottom line figure i

skills, span and significance of the positio
involved. Young people must be reminde
