What do you think were the factors that caused that young man

that made that advertising man want thlsyoung man to work for him:
1 Hr had initiative enough to create a job hr had never heard of. 2.
Til«- tremendous enthusiasm he displayed in outlining the work
Of the latter quality, the late Charles M Schwab, chairman of the
board of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, said: "A man can succeed
at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm."
Show a man that you have earnest enthusiasm for the work you
