sizuu, lor many reacning appli
cants are rejected because they
neglect to include a photo with
other data. In other words, “No
photo—no job," might well prove
the outcome.
Be Natural
It has been suggested by au
thoritative persons connected
with placements that the photo
be as natural and lifelike as pos
sible. Backbones stiff as ramrods
and forced expressions are not
conducive to making good im
pressions. Conservative, dark
clothing should be worn, and girls
are advised not to wear figured
dresses, as designs photograph
poorly.
Urged to Hurry
Only a compartively few pho
tographs have yet been turned in
to the placement bureau, and oth
er students are urged to submit
photographs immediately. Re
member, the impression you are
going to make on a future em
ployer might be determined by
