Mrs. Constance Garretson has been an employee of the Prudential Insurance Company of America in Newark, New Jersey, for
15 years. As a sales promotion writer, she compiles the company's monthly brokerage bulletin. She finds satisfaction in
her work because it enables her to use her knowledge, exper ience, and writing skills; because she feels it fills an important
need; and because the wide diversity of duties makes it varied
and interesting. She says, "Rather than representing a con°

home and career responsibilities by working part time. About
her work in public relations she says : " I have learned much ,
have met interesting people, and have developed a salable
skill."
Here she is conferring with her coworker, Sur inder
Gujral, at Economic Research Associates.
Mrs. Mildred Marcy 's extensive background in volunteer work
provided her with the experience necessary to become Women ' s
Activities Advisor of the United States Information Agency .
In this capacity she is helping to transmit the organizational
know-how of American women to women in other countries. For
her , working presents no problems "aside from the universal
ones of planning ahead and organ izing both time and priorities. "'
The usu-al workweek is 35 to 40 hours. However,
because the work often involves meeting dead Iines,
preparing or delivering speeches, attending meetings,
and traveling, irregular hours and overtime are not
uncommon.
