The candidate said, ‘In the neighborhood of US$125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.’
The HR person 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 graduate sat up straight and said, ‘Wow! Are you kidding?’
And the HR Person said, ‘Certainly, …but you started it.’
