Job Interview

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a
young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you
looking
for?"

The Engineer said, "In the neighbourhood of $125,000 a year, depending
on
the benefits package."

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks
vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching
retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2
years
say, a red Corvette?"

The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

I'm rolling on the floor here. :lol: :lol: :lol:
