Introduction to Modern Office Procedures
This program was established to aid students in developing useful job
skills by receiving instruction from MPC supervisors along with "hands
on" work experience in the department.
After a brief introduction to MPC, students were able to specialize in
one of the following ·areas: supervision and management principles,
secretarial-receptionist work, personal correspondence and letter
writing, office machines and equipment, word processing, statistics
and report writing.
The 76 students who participated were very enthusiastic about the infor
mation and training they received and felt it would be very helpful in their
future employment.
Many said they used the skills and principles they
learned immediately, in performing their student jobs and responsibilities.
A number of graduating seniors who took part were hired in Mail Processing.
Several others will be employed in international offices or serve as
ministerial trainees in international areas.
Blessings in Employment
God generously provides for those who faithfully keep His laws, especially
in the area of their employment. Many members have been blessed with better
jobs, salary increases, improved business even in slower economic times,
and grace and favor in regard to taking time off for the Sabbath and holy
days. We thought you'd find some of their experiences, as shared by the
following letters, very encouraging.
My husband has just been blessed with a new job and he is making
two to three times as much as he did at his previous job. So in
stead of sending a check for this amount twice a month, we will be
sending one once a week. It's an answer to our financial prob
lems.
Not only has the income been a blessing, but also my husband has
been assigned to the first shift indefinitely. This is a real
blessing and a surprise because at the factory where he works you
have to have years of seniority before you can get on first
shift. Now my husband will be able to continue attending Spokes
man Club.

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am fine, except
for sore feet. You see, I have been working for New York Airlines
for three weeks as a ticket agent. God has blessed me by granting
me my dream career.
For ten years I have wanted to be either a flight attendant or a
ticket agent. It was a long and hard struggle, but after 3� years
in the U.S. Army, 1� years of college, travel school in 1980 and
two jobs in the travel industry, it has finally happened.
Training in New York was fast paced and difficult at times, but I
always prayed to God to help me through it.
