One will be published each week In the Daily Journal on Saturdays, and the Semi-Weekly on Mondays. We suggest those interested clip and save them.) ARTICLE VIH What the Job Placement Part of Employment Security Does for Employers The Nebraska State Employment Service offices maintain the most complete record of available workers in the community, and in most in stances are able to furnish employers with applicants who are well quali fied for any particular type of Job. All unemployed workers who are entitled to unemployment compen sation are required to register at the State Employment Service office in order to receive unemployment com pensation benefits. The State Em ployment Service is free to all work ers and employers and is used by workers, whether insured or not. If a Qualified worker is not available locally, the State Employment Ser vice office, through a system of clear ance with other offices in the state and outside the state, can canvass the country until just the right per son is found. The State Employment Service of fice provides employers with the per4 sonncl service of a trained staff, at no ccst. Workers who register with the office are asked for particulars of their experience and training. A trained interviewer talks to the ap plicant and gets all information which will help to place him in the job for which he is best suited. In terviewers use scientific tests and lists of carefully prepared trade ques tions to help them measure an in dividual's experience and ability in any given line of work. A card con taining the necessary information is filed for each applicant, according to his occupation. If the applicant is to be considered for more than ne kind of work, a separate card is made out and placed in the files under each type of occupation for which he is qualified. When an employer calls 011 the employment office fcr workers, he is ?sked for details about the job to be filled and about his requirements. The Tiles are then searched to locate those applicants who are best quali fied for the job. Those selected are referred to the employer for an in terview. The employer is free to make his own choice from among these applicants or to ask that addi tional people be referred. Nebraska State Employment Ser vice offices have been set up as a com munity service. Their value to the community depends on, and merits, the co-operaticn of employers as well as workers. There are twenty offices of the Nebraska State Employment Service, located at key points of em ployment in the state. One of these 13 located in the Cass county court house at Plattsmouth. in addition, itinerant service is provided to 95 other towns by State Employment Service representatives.
