JOB INTERVIEW

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of school:

“And what starting salary were you looking for?”

The candidate said:

“In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the package of benefits.”

The HR Person said:

“Well, what would you say to a package containing 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental insurance, company matching retirement fund to 50% of your salary and a company car leased every 2 years - say a red Toyota?”

The candidate sat up straight and said:

“Wow! Are you kidding?”

And the HR Person said:

“Certainly, ...but you started it.”
