8. The video is a bit odd, too...
Is he auditioning or interviewing?

Did she do a "Baywatch" slow-mo wet tanksuit run?

If nothing else, she has a right to a detailed offer, including benefits, insurance details, etc. Ask the big boss if you can speak to the personnel manager if he doesn't have time to go into the details.

Either that, or make sure the money is SO good, and guaranteed for a certain period, that you can afford to cover the costs of moving, insurance, etc.
