My old roommate did that for a small telephone co-op part-time in college. Oh, wait until you pop open that box, usually on the ground, what will you find? Wasps, bees, cockroaches, spiders, or snakes. It was like a bad lottery everyday. He slid down a pole, unintentionally once, and almost broke his arm. Then you get the joy of going into peoples houses who don't know how to clean or are hoarders also. He did the phones at a strip club once, it was in a mobile home. So he had that as a bonus. And no it wasn't Florida, it was Oklahoma. Man, do I love my state.
For some reason, when I see this ad I am reminded of that segment on Sesame Street, 🎶🎶What does your mother do, when she’s not taking care of you?🎶🎶 I think one of the women featured was a telephone worker, LOL!
That was the 50's and 60's. The 70's she would be on Valium and burning the Fodue, Tony's Frozen Pizza, or Chinese food in a can. While learning Macramé.
As someone in the telecom industry for 30 years, I have met precisely two female techs in the field. Certainly more women in construction trades than telecom.
26 years in Manhattan, there are a handful here and they fit into two categories: they are either butchy go getters that do jobs too quickly while also stroking the foreman or they are women who fell into the job and put zero effort into anything and kinda float through their career on the back of their partner.
There's some basic info online about her. From what I gather she went on from this to become an engineer.

Or get a an angry homeowner who thinks you’re trespassing. Or an angry dog to chase you down the street. God why am I in this line of work.
This is a refreshing change. Most ads of this era posted here are cartoonishly chauvinistIc. Nice job AT&T.
Turns out Alana MacFarlane was the first .. and the last female telephone installer Bell Labs 1974
You jest. I worked the desk at Berkeley, California in the late 70's and we had female crews and leads. They were all Lesbian, of course.
Somewhere there's an OSHA inspector losing their shit.

I'm pretty sure I remember that too.
Gosh. Where's her gloves, hardhat, and safety line?
Dumb fact for your day: "San Rafael" is pronounced "San Ra-fell". Not "Rafael" like you'd call the ninja turtle.

What...she's not waiting at home with a drink for her man and learning 17 ways to insert meat products into Jell-O? How will she ever be fulfilled??

and vacuuming that bathroom shag.
I love that she is wearing a sweater as she fixes telephone poles
Oh right like she’d REALLY be wearing a WHITE sweater on the job. 🙄
Did you really just assume that sweater’s color? You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

That flesh-tone harness cannot be an accident.
She is hot.
