Instead, he wrote a
note to the executive on whom he had called first.
"Dear Mr. Blank:
I know now exactly what the job in the cost department is, and that
I can fill it. But I should like to think over the best ways to
give you complete satisfaction, before talking with you about it.
Please telephone to me at Main 4683 when it will be convenient for
you to see me.
Respectfully,
James A. Ward."
The young man sent his note into the private office and left at once.
There now were nine applicants on the anxious seat in the reception
room. Ward did not wish to be asked to wait his turn. He felt sure the
executive would inquire of the costs manager about him, and he got away
from the office quickly so that there would be an opportunity for his
chosen prospective employer to receive the full effect of the good
impression made in the cost department.
[Sidenote: Giving Opportunity A Chance to Catch Up]
My acquaintance was not at all worried lest some other candidate be
chosen in his absence.
