OHOUSTON (UPI) ”-
Running out of birthday
idéas for the executive who
has everything? Consider a
bionic briefcase.

The-deluxe model, sold by
Communications Control
Systems, features «an
electronic transmitter that
can help track a kidnapped
executive, a. wiretap and
phone bug detector, a
bulletproof exterior, a light
beam that can temporarily
blind and stun an assailant, a
siren that goes off if the
briefcase is stolen and a
conversation monitoring
device.

“The bionic briefcase is
one of our big items,” said
store manager Marc
Brackley. “We'll fix it up any
way you want it. It’s rigged
for anyone in a high risk

position.”
“This means people

discuss?

She said, “Be prepared for
such questions and know in
advance of the interview
how you'll answer them.
And, above all, be honest.”

Interview boards or panels
seem to be on the increase,
and I wanted to know if
there were any special rules
for meeting situations like
that.

“These are called pressure
or stress interviews,” Meg
said. “They can be scary, but
if you try to relax and take

youl get through it. If

jewels, -- important
documents. If it’s pulled out
of your hands, a screaming
‘siren will automatically go
off. You can flash it at an
oncoming attacker and a
high-power beam _ will
temporarily blind the at-
tacker.”

“We can add a feature that
detects poison vapors and
we can also install a recorder
that will monitor your
conversations for as long as
six hours. And if you're
worried about kidnapping,
this can be a real aid. We put
an electronic transmitter
that can track you down
wherever you are.”

Cost of all the
ultrasophisticated anti-atta-
ck gear runs about $25,000.

“But people rarely order
everything”, Brackley said.
“We tailor it to your needs.”

The store, which opened
18 months ago, does most of

question, don't direct your
answer only to that person:
by using eye-to-eye contact,
deliver your answer to each
and every one ef them.”

Meg says that rehearsing a
forthcoming job interview is
a good way of ironing the
bugs out of your = per-
formance when the _ real
McCoy finally arrives. It
might even be a good idea to
have someone put you
through your paces. by
asking some of those tough
questions we talked about
earlier.

Changing times and social
customs dictate new codes
of behaviour, especially in
the workplace.

its business with customers
walking in off the street.
Their typical sale ranges
from $1,200 to $10,000. But
some customers spend as
much as $80,000, Brackley
said.

Fear of industrial spying
leads to many sales.

“Big business is filled with
spies,” he said. “These
business men aren't
paranoid, they're shrewd.
They know there. are spies
all over the place.”

One of the firm's better

selling items is voice stress
analyzer, a device that can
measure stress levels in a
tape recorded voice.

“Our customers tape their
business dealings and then
play back the voices into our
machine,” Brackley _ said.
“The machine's makers
claim it can help tell if a
person is lying. It’s an in-
credible tool in big
business.”

“If you're offered coffee
or a Cigarette and you'd like
them, then go ahead and
accept,” she said.

When an interview is over
and you've left the office,
you're not quite finished.
There's still one more very
important detail that 1s often
overlooked: a letter of
thanks to those who in-
terviewed you.

“It’s certainly a= nice
gesture and a lot of people
find thal writing a thank you
letter can prodagce some
favorable results,” she said.

So, if you follow these
suggestions, your next job
interview needn't feel like
