Appointments Board
Early on the Secretary of the Appointments Board. Mr. A. T. Mitchell, advised the Association that the Board was concerned with the difficulties students might experience in finding jobs in the Christmas holidays. During the third term the Board . . . circularised some 8,000 firms in the Wellington province asking for jobs. As a result of this letter and the publicity given to the difficulties the Board received offers of many jobs which were advertised in the Union ever) day and later kept in lists in the Association Office.
As at the end of 1967 it appeared that most students had. in fact, been able to find jobs at least until Christmas. This satisfactory result was due. I feel, in no small way to the publicity given to the potential problem and the generous reaction of employers in coming forward with many jobs as a result of that publicity. The Association is very grateful to the Appointments Board For its considerable efforts in the handling of job advertisements.
