{SPEAKER name="Carvester Booth"}
for you to find a job in Washington, it was very easy.

{SPEAKER name="Catherine Purge"}
I see

[00:14:07]
{SPEAKER name="Carvester Booth"}
So I was offered various jobs. Two friends, they said "I'll take you to work with me" or "I'll take you to work with me". And this was an inside referral, which made

[00:14:18]
{SPEAKER name="Carvester Booth"}
So I had many job offers, and after visiting the Smithsonian Institution a couple of times, I said I think this will be my first choice. Because I like the artifacts, I like interesting things about the Smithsonian Institution.

[00:14:37]
{SPEAKER name="Carvester Booth"}

[00:15:07]
{SPEAKER name="Carvester Booth"}
I liked, I think mostly was the management portion of the job, and an opportunity to advance oneself. And also the opportunity to go to school to get training, and in this area a man could advance.

{SPEAKER name="Catherine Purge"}
Were there any low points, or were, was it mostly a good experience?

[00:15:47]
{SPEAKER name="Carvester Booth"}
I would have to say a good experience because the training that was given to the Smithsonian employee was good for security. And I think we had the best training at that time. Um.
