“THEY TOLD ME | DIDN'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!” The words hurt. But deep down I knew what the boss was saying was true. , “Sure you’re a good man, Frank. You work hard. What we need, though, are men with special training. Job specialists who can come up with the right answers. Nowadays experience isn’t enough.”’ So there was the answer. Why other younger men were moving ahead, earning pay raises, getting the good jobs. Why I was being left behind. I just didn’t have what it takes. You feel desperate at times like that. Family to support. Job to hold down. No chance for the future. Then I heard about I. C.S. How I. C.S. had helped others like me get the job training they needed to get ahead. Some even found new careers. I figured maybe I. C.S. could do the same for me. I clipped out the coupon from an I. C.S. ad and mailed For Real Job Security —Get an I. C. S. Diploma! it in. The free career kit I received a few days later con- vinced me to sign up for a course. Things began to happen after that. The instruction was practical, down to earth. It seemed what I learned the night before I was able to apply on the job the next morning. Word got around I was taking an I.C.S. Course. My boss learned of it and three months later I got a raise. Six more months and I got another. Now I’m looking forward to a promotion. Once in a while I think back to the time the boss told me I didn’t have what it takes. Makes me smile now. But still I thank my lucky stars for I. C.S. Maybe you will, too. Accredited Member, I. C.S., Seranton 15, Penna.
