What You Needed To Get A Job As A Secretary!

What You Needed To Get A Job As A Secretary!


a Film by David Hoffman

In the 1950s becoming a secretary was the #1 job opportunity for young women. I can remember when corporate executives were told to get rid of their secretaries and do the work themselves. It is amazing how many rules secretaries were told were necessary for their jobs. I list some of them in my video introduction. As many of you know, I collect old documentaries that I see as American social history. This one certainly presents a picture of how women were being treated at this time. I remember female students in my high school being shown a film just like this.
