MEET YOURSELF-
10 YEARS FROM NOW
Ever wonder what you'll be like when the class of '54 holds
its 10th reunion? If you started to work for one of the
Bell System companies after graduation, here's a pretty
good idea.
INTERESTING, RESPONSIBLE WORK: Perhaps a Commercial
Manager, the company's representative and spokesman to as
many as fifty thousand customers. Or a Transmission Engi-
neer, helping to provide the telephone needs of an entire
state. Or a Supervisor in the Traffic Department, responsible
for the speed and quality of local and long distance service
in several cities and for the personnel relations of a large
number of employees.
WE MAKE SURE THERE ARE PLACES TO GO: The number
of college men hired is related to the number of administra-
tive and technical positions expected to be available in the
next 10 or 15 years. It is our policy to fill these positions from
within our organization.
ARTS, SCIENCE, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND
ENGINEERING GRADUATES are among our particular needs.
The specific degree is not as important as the total effect of
your college training.
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MILITARY STATUS, contact your
Placement Officer soon for details on the opportunities for.
employment with the Bell System.
