Guess the date of these job ads

[Time40]

I found an old newspaper, and I was surprised that these ads appeared when they did. Would anyone like to guess the date? I'll post just one to start with, as I tried to post two at once, and the MN server didn't like it.

And another ...

1988

No, not 1988

1950

1980

And another

I'm wondering if you're going to come back and say it was last week!

First one...1975?

Brilliant thread by the way...love a bit of history

1990

50s or 60s

Late 70's? Possibly even early 80's?

I used to work in a recruitment firm. Even in the early 2000s, our forms still asked for marital status!

I'm thinking late 70s/early 80s.

LOL!

I'm going to come back in ten minutes, because I don't want to spoil it if someone gets it!

1978

1973

1972

It looks so wrong, doesn't it? I wonder what would have happened if a man applied to pack biscuits, or be the "friendly, helpful typist"?

I'm guessing early 1960s.

This one gets me. It's just MAN or LADY and then what they are actually needed for in tiny writing. Ridiculous!

1965

I used to work in a recruitment firm. Even in the early 2000s, our forms still asked for marital status!

Wow, that's late!

I'll reveal the answer in 7 minutes

1972

Actually, I'm going to revise my guess to mid-1950s, because there are no regional dialling codes given for the phone numbers! <sneaky sleuthing>

I am going with the 60's, maybe 1962?

1998
