I'm writing an essay and I need a short, pithy joke about Sales or Job Hunting.

It must be clean.

1. what's the difference between a used car salesman
and a computer salesman? The used car salesman knows when he is lying.

2. It's got to be "positive".
Still, it's a good joke.

4. Ok, how about this:
I am not afraid of hard work. In fact, I can lie down right next to it and sleep soundly.

Or you can use some of those ambiguous lines from joke resumés like:

"I cannot recommend him too highly nor say enough good things about him. There is no other person with whom I can adequately compare him. His work history is the sort you don’t expect to see nowadays and in it he has clearly demonstrated his complete capabilities. The depth of his knowledge will surprise you. You will be amazed at the quantity and quality of the questions he asks. You will indeed be fortunate if you can get him to work for you."

3. not necessarily jokes, but this site has a lot of very good quotes
for example,

The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
--Robert Frost

Maybe something you can use here.
