      I was accepted and started work. Until that time, my experience had been derived chiefly from book, and unfortunately those books had not prepared me for the difficult period of adjustment that every inexperienced secretary must face. Consequently, I soon became so discouraged with myself and so dissatisfied witht eh job that I was on the verge of quitting. I think my employer must have sensed this because he called me into his office. He talked to me about both the duties of my position and the opportunities it offer for advancement. This talk helped me considerably. From then on, I realized that there was nothing wrong with me or the job that experience could not cure, and I decided to stay.
