A recent university graduate was being interviewed for a job

A recruiter asks a recent university graduate: “What starting salary are you looking for?”

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

The recruiter says: “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50 per cent of salary, and a company car leased every two years – say, a red Corvette?”

The applicant sits up straight and says: “Wow! Are you kidding?”

And the recruiter replies: “Yeah, but you started it.”

The man said: “$200 and it’s yours.”
