Getting a job, says the author, is a problem in salesmanship. A man’s services are a product that can be sold and how to go about to sell it has been so successfully and methodically worked out by John Caldwell, that he was asked to teach a class in re-employment for the graduates of the Metropolitan university. His lectures as given to the class are here edited and collected into book form by the author. John Caldwell’s method is to apply modern salesmanship, marketing methods and advertising to the selling of a man’s individual product, his services. Among the contents are: Make a job of getting a job; Know your product—yourself; Determine your appeal; Make good use of your experience; Develop a group of prospects; Situation wanted advertisements; The circular letter; The personal call; The employment agency; The interview; The eternal question—the salary; Keep your case alive; Index.

Selection of subject headings most easily usable by children has been the aim striven for.” (Preface) The work is compiled and edited by Anna Lorraine Guthrie, formerly editor of the Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature.
