The young accounting graduate, fresh out of
uni and knowing everything, applied for his first job. The
prospective
employer asked him what starting salary he was looking
for.
"Oh, around $100,000 a year, depending on the benefits
package."
"Well, how does this sound? Five weeks annual leave, 22.5%
superannuation, paid expenses to overseas conferences every year, home
telephone
reimbursed and a company car replaced every 20,000
kilometres, say a
Mercedes convertible."
The graduate sat up straight
and tried not to look excited. "Wow. Are
you

"Yeah. But you started it."
A
man went to apply for a job. After
filling out all of his applications,
he waited anxiously for the
outcome.
The employer read all his applications and said, "We have an
opening
for people like you."
"Oh, great," he said, "What is
it?"
"It's called the door!"
Employer: "In this job we need someone
who is responsible."
Applicant: "I'm the one you want. On my last
job, every time anything
went wrong, they said I was
responsible."
