美國流行笑話：I got the job 我被錄用了

I got the job 我被錄用了

I applied for a job as an insurance salesperson. Where the form requested “prior experience,” I wrote “lifeguard.” That was it. “We're looking for someone who cannot only sell insurance, but who can sell himself,” said the hiring manager. “How does working as a lifeguard pertain to salesmanship?” “I couldn't swim,” I replied. I got the job.

我申請一份保險經濟人的工作。在申請表“以前工作經歷”一欄我填寫了“救生員”，就再沒有別的了。雇方經理說：“我們找的人不但要能賣保險，還要能賣他自己。當過救生員和銷售有什么相干呢?”我回答說：“我不會游泳。”我被錄用了。
