Funny Friday: Engineering Graduate Asks For Ksh1.5M Salary Per Month!

Recently we posted “an entry level job” which had been doing rounds on the internet for a while.

It read, “Vacancy!!! Salary Ksh 380,500/= per week with: free accommodation, meals and company car.

Maasai Mara needs someone to bath the Lions, take care of the Tigers, play with the crocodiles and feed the snakes.

No qualifications and/or experience required. If interested please send your CV to imara@info.co.ke

Let me know if ur taking the job..if ur not, dont be selfish; share it with others..

NB: Dont ask what happened to the previous worker, It’s none of your business. Thank you.”

But of course it was a joke painting a picture of the kind of things you will have to do to earn so much money on your first job.

The same applies to this interview:

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked a young engineer fresh out of Egerton University,

“And what starting salary were you looking for?”

The Engineer said, “I would be okay with 1.5M a month, depending on the benefits package.”

The interviewer said, “Well, what would you say to a package of five-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, a house allowance in Runda, company matching retirement fund to 50 percent of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a Range Rover?”

The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?”

And the interviewer replied, “Yeah, but you started it.”
