Show THE RIGHT MAN-IN MAN-IN THE RIGHT JOB In the April American Magazine is an article entitled "Are You a Square Peg In tho Round Hole?" by Herman Schneider, dean of tho School of Engineering En-gineering of the University of Cincinnati. Cincin-nati. Dean Schneider ha3 devoted his life to making successes out ot failures fail-ures and to finding tho right Job for tho right man. He believes that failure fail-ure is seldom moro than an Indication of tho right path to success. Among other things he says: "Every Individual has certain gen-oral gen-oral traits; every kind of work has certaLn goneral characteristics. The problem Is to Interpret tho traits of tho Individual, classify the characteristics character-istics ot the Job, and then guide tho individual into the Job for which ho Is supremely fitted. This Is ono real employment problom. "Thero are very many human characteristics, char-acteristics, but thero are a few broad and general ones which frequently make for sucews or failure "Thero Is a typo ot a man who wants to get on the same car every morning, get off at the same corner, go to tho same shop, ring up at the same clock, stow his lunch In tho same locker, go to the same machine and do tho same class ot work day after day. Another typo of man would go crazy under this routine: he wants to mov o about, meet new-people, new-people, seo and do things. The first is settled; tho second is roving. The first might make a good man for "a a a shop manufacturing a standard prod- V ' uct; tho second might make a good railroad man or a good outdoor carpenter." |
