Memorandum

To: William D. Vane, Vice President for Operations

From: Harry Matthews, Personnel Department

Date. December 3, 2002

Subject: Recruiting (招工) Program

To keep our company staffed with qualified electronics technicians, we will have to imporove our recruiting program.

In the past dozen years, we have relied heavily on the recruitment of skilled veterans. But our attempts to reach this group through daily newspaper ads has not been successful recently. This group, as a source of trained employees, is becoming attractive to many employers. I think that the want ads should continue, although each passing month brings fewer and fewer veterans as job applicants.

Our in-house apprentice(学徒工) program has not provided the needed personnel either. More and more high school graduates are choosing to go to university. Each year, fewer high school graduates, our one source of trainees for the apprentice program, enter the shop. Even Career Day recruiting has yielded disappointing results. The number of students interested in the apprentice program has dropped greatly as university enrollment (招生) goes up.

I would like to meet with you soon to discuss the details of a more active recruiting program. I am certain that with a right recruitment campaign we can solve the problem.
