This link was a really intriguing post entitled, “How did you get your job?” I was planning to read through some more of the comments (it got really popular quickly), but the author deleted the post for some reason!
I was in the middle of writing my comment when they removed the post.
Luckily I still have it in my clipboard.
I was moving to a new city. I found exactly two jobs available. One was for some address selling company which meant that there was exactly one other job available. I found that job through some shady job scraping website that still had a link to a PDF.
I emailed the lady in the PDF and sent her my résumé. After a while I got a reply from another guy and got invited for an interview.
Apparently the PDF was horribly outdated. The lady mentioned in there hasn’t been working for the company in years. But coincidentally they were just about to post another job opening. So I just slid in there and got the job.
Crazy chain of events! So what are you doing now?
Long Covid has me tied to the bed permanently and I can only doomscroll and watch stupid YouTube videos and hope that my wife doesn’t break under the pressure of caring for me and our children and the house and all the paperwork for disability.
Oh…
