JOB INTERVIEW

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

The candidate responded confidently, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The HR person said, "Well, what would you say to a benefits 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 two years -- say a red Corvette?"

The graduate sat up, mouth agape and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer responded, "Of course ... but you started it!"
