Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young broadcasting student fresh out of the British Columbia Institute of Technology, “And what starting salary are you looking for?”
The aspiring Morning Show Host replies, “In the region of $60,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”
The interviewer inquires, “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% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, an All-Wheel- Drive for Revelstoke weather and roads?”
The BCIT student sits up straight and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”
The HR Officer replies, “Yeah, but you started it.”
