Compensation: Will discuss at interview."


Of course compensation will be discussed at the interview because how else are you going to get applicants with clean driving records to drive boats or “Sky Ranger” vehicles for eight hours a day at only minimum wage? “Congratulations! You’re qualified. The last thing before we hire you: Is $7.25 an hour enough for you to begin working?” If you refuse that wage, then they can always disqualify you for “being a poor organizational fit.”

You better not talk about pay before the interviewer asks you because it would make you seem to have “motivation…in question.” I emailed Jodi for clarification of this disqualifier at the address listed in the vacancy, and she kindly responded, “It means motivation is required and (you) must not be in question about having it.” Nonetheless, the presence of ulterior motives may also prove troublesome. Therefore, it is up to the rational, logical mind of the reader to infer what constitutes a questionable motive:

A) Wanting to become the “rock star” of the Sky Rangers by pulling impromptu stunts, potentially jeopardizing fellow pilots and spectators;

B) Using your Dells Duck boat to run drugs across Lake Delton;

C) Wanting to work as a Dells Duck enough seasons to earn $10 an hour;

D) Using your Sky Ranger vehicle to execute your terrorist cell’s Plan D, a careening nosedive into the main stretch of concession stands;

E) All of the above!
