Hi, I'm Bud Askins, Senior Junior Vice President here at Vault-Tec.

You probably know Vault-Tec is the brand to trust in the increasingly likely case of a global nuclear war. But I like to think we offer more than hermetically sealed vaults built to withstand Armageddon. We're also a pretty neat place to work. So, stay tuned and let's see if you have what it takes to represent the fastest growing company in America today.

Greetings, prospective Vault-Tec sales associate! America is the greatest society in human history. Sadly, not even the foremost fighting force ever assembled, the American Fighting Boys, can truly guarantee our safety against the Reds.

But there is a winning team. And our sales associates... are the starting lineup.

Thanks to the future hard work of sales representatives like you, the best and brightest will soon be buried deep within the Earth in safe, secure, state-of-the-art shelters with amenities for mind... body... and spirit.

But only star sellers have a shot at a full time job with us, here at Vault-Tec, and in order to compete, you'll have to land those high value targets. A fish can feed you, but land a whale and the whole team can eat.

So dress to impress with the proper scent and handshake, dry but supple with proper finger spacing. Remember, you're not just the salesman, you're a delivery man, delivering our customer from all that nasty business up there on the surface. Lucky for her, that's the type of peace of mind money can buy. Don't forget to leave her a gift.

Join the Vault-Tec winning team and the benefits of health care could one day be yours.
