AGE AND SEX

Men only are considered for these positions. Applicants should be between the
ages of 30 and 50. Those with outstanding qualifications who are outside these
age limits may be given consideration. Men of selective service are not
considered unless they have dependents or are eligible for deferment for other
valid reasons. Proof of such deferment is necessary.

EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND EXPERIENCE

Graduation from a standard college or university is desired. (In exceptional
instances, oustanding experience over a long period may be acceptable in lieu
of such graduation.) Training in a graduate school of social work and success-
ful experience in a social agency as a case worker and supervisor, or closely

related experience, are desired.

Since, in some instances, the work of a field director is essentially of an

. administrative and executive nature, proven ability in law, education, consular
service, business personnel management, military service, insurance counselling,
etc., will be considered in lieu of the above. In general, however, such
experience should have been supplemented, at least on a volunteer basis, by
active participation in community activities of a social welfare nature such as
Boy Scouts, Red Cross Chapters, Community Chests and Councils, health agencies,
municipal housing developments, settlement houses, etc.

PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS

The field director must have an outgoing friendly personality, a sense of humor,
dignity, poise, and maturity. He must have executive, supervisory, and leader-
ship ability. He must have racial and religious understanding. He must recog-
nize and accept military regulations. He must be able to recognize and accept
the fact that Red Cross represents the public in its service to the military
stations. He must be able to work harmoniously with other members of his staff
and with the men who seek his assistance. Since a field director is accredited
to the commanding general and must interpret Red Cross services to him and to
othe officers of high rank, he must have those qualities of appearance, intellect,
integrity, and personality which will enable him to develop and maintain their
respect andconfidence.
