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."

We're three years down the road since this was posted, but still...you have posted the absolute funniest joke I've ever read about an expat.

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

Absolutely fantastic joke. :thumbup:
