美国流行笑话：I got the job 我被录用了

I got the job 我被录用了

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.

我申请一份保险经济人的工作。在申请表“以前工作经历”一栏我填写了“救生员”，就再没有别的了。雇方经理说：“我们找的人不但要能卖保险，还要能卖他自己。当过救生员和销售有什么相干呢?”我回答说：“我不会游泳。”我被录用了。
