QUALIFICATIONS

Mr. Mack, personnel manager of Comfort Furniture Company, interviewing a
prospective salesman finished up by saying, "What we're looking for is a
man of vision...a man with drive, determination, and courage...a man who
never quits, who can inspire others...in short, a man who can pull the
company's bowling team out of last place!"

EXPERIENCED PILOTS

Mac and Todd, two brothers, went together to an employment agency
looking for work.  The first brother was called for an interview.  "It
says here you're a pilot," said the employment counselor.  Mac nodded.
"Well, that's great.  There's a need for an experienced pilots.  I have
a job for you immediately."  With that, Mac left for the airfield.

Todd's interview didn't go as well.  When asked about his work
experience, he replied, "I'm a tree cutter."  The counselor said there
were no openings for tree cutters.  Incensed, Todd demanded:  "How come
you have a job for my brother and not for me?"

"Because your brother is a pilot," explained the counselor.  "He has a
specialized skill."

"What do you mean specialized?  I cut the wood, and he piles it!"

NIGHT WATCHMAN

A man applied for a position as a night watchman at a lumberyard.

"And do you feel you're qualified for such a responsible position?" the
owner asked.

"Definitely,  Mr. Reynolds," he replied promptly.  "The slightest noise
and I'm wide awake."
