The Young
Business Man:
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a
beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he
saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot,
the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big
deal working.
He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung
up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"
The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."
At The Job
Interview:
One day a man tried to get a job at a great company. He passed every
test with flying colours. At the final interview part, the CEO told him
that his constant blinking would bother customers.
"I can fix that with some Aspirin. Just take some and I'll be better in
a second"
So, he reaches into his pocket and pulls condom after condom out until
he finds the Aspirin. He takes it and his blinking goes away.
The CEO says "We don't approve of womanizing!"
The guy says "Oh! No! Have you ever tried to ask a pharmacist for
aspirin while your winking"
Stopping by
The Office One Day:
Resolving to surprise her husband, an executive's wife stopped by his
office. She found him with his secretary sitting in his lap.
Without hesitating, he dictated, "...and in conclusion, gentlemen,
shortage or no shortage, I cannot continue to operate this office with
just one chair.
A
Question Of Billing:
A one dollar bill met a twenty dollar bill and said, "Hey, where've you
been? I haven't seen you around here much."
The twenty answered, "I've been hanging out at the casinos, went on a
cruise and did the rounds of the ship, back to the United States for
awhile, went to a couple of baseball games, to the mall, that kind of
stuff. How about you?"
The one dollar bill said, "You know, same old stuff... church, church,
church."
Rejection
Letter Response Template:
The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer or
publisher, just send them the following:
Dear [name of the person who signed the rejection letter],
Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After
careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept
your refusal to offer me [employment with your firm/a contract to
publish my book].
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising
field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite [name of the co or agency that sent you this letter]'s
outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting
[applicants/manuscripts], I find that your rejection does not meet with
my needs at this time.
Therefore, I will initiate [employment/publishing] with your firm
immediately following [graduation/job change, etc. -- get creative
here]. I look forward to working with you.
Best of luck in rejecting future [candidates/manuscripts].
Sincerely,
[your name]
