Over the last few years I have been unbelievably lucky in job acquisitions. Most of the jobs I've had were pretty much offered to me on a platter. Not that I didn't have to interview and work my ass off when I got the job. But it was pretty much in the bag when I started. Mkay, that sounds kind of conceited. It was more like unless I did something unbelievably stupid I would get the job. Thanks to my four years in college I pretty much know how to land a job after the first interview. Unfortunately I have a habit of being brutally honest and most employers to do not want to hear it. Mostly cuz I have no idea where the hell my life is going, or if it's headed in a direction I'm passionate about.
Um. This pretty much is how I got my new job. Right place, right time. It was my day off and I decided to chill for a few hours in a coffee house I rarely visit, but knew had a great chai. While I was enjoying the soup, I was really hungry so I ended up eating lunch there, the manager came out of her office looking flustered. When she was walking past my table she asked if I was looking for a job. It was out of the blue and I was to surprised to answer. After thinking about it for about a minute I got up and asked her what I needed to do to get the job. She asked me to come in the next day with my resume. When I did we had a nice, if strangely long and kind of personal talk.
And the rest is history. Granted it's pretty funny history.
