Are You A Jim Halpert?

U.S. News has this fun little story...

"A talented salesman with mad people skills, Jim has worked at Dunder Mifflin for several years—it was probably his first real job out of college—and has advanced from sales rep to assistant regional manager, but he is quite frank about his dispassion: "If I advance any higher, this would be my career.
