being unemployed, i am fascinated by such things.

by giving a series of blowjobs, of course.

A completely unsolicited out-of-the-blue call based on my resume being posted on monster.com, without ever having even applied for the position. Kind of a fluke, but makes me believe their commercials.

interviewed

nepotism

i can do that!

I responded to an old internet advertisement on the University of Nebraska job site for graduating students. They weren't actually hiring at the time, but they still offered me a job after I interviewed with them.

you're hired!

walked in with a mediocre portfolio, a smile, and a bit of charm. hired on the spot. been here for 7 years.

college career center

I was dating my bosses daughter and he offered me a job because i was "A well adjusted young man". I was high at the time.

I lucked out... I found a job listing in the newspaper for an "architectural/engineering consultant firm," and since I went to a architectural/engineering school, I figured I'd be a shoe-in. Turns out I was. I have since dropped all remnants of the job I interviewed for, and now work on project management/web development. I'm going on almost 10 years here now, and quite honestly, I'm feeling like I need a change soon.

You're supposed to hire her after you get the blowjobs, not before you fool!

Ficky ain' no fool, though. She has to get paid before she gives the head.

"But I went to Harvard!"

"Then it should be a really good blow job"

I got an internship at a PR company through a friend of a friend's sister.

Then did a contract thing for a healthcare company

Through which I met someone who works for my company.

I walked into the interview, he looked at my resume, saw that I went to UGA, he was a 96 grad, so we talked about bars and music. They called me that monday and said "Go to Montgomery"

Sarcastic answer: blackmail

Short answer: I interned here the summer before I graduated and applied while doing my semi-hysterical scorched earth pre-graduation job search.

Long answer: Interned here summer '99 and made a good impression. Applied when there was a job opening that worked out timing-wise w/ me graduating. They told me that position was too advanced for me (which, looking back, was true) and I was resigned to working one more summer @ the college paper and looking some more for a decent job - to that point the only firm offer I'd had was from a 17,000-circulation paper in Roswell, NM. A week into the summer, the same place that turned me down called me back because a different job I was qualified for opened up. I was the only candidate and got the job that June. 2.5 years later I got promoted to a better beat and last month I got promoted again, both times out of the blue.

For some reason I decided I wanted to move back to my hometown after graduation. Heard about a potential position by chance and I dropped off a resume and talked for at length to my boss. Then I went through an interview process and I got the job. Now I'm in the market for a new one.

A friend of a friend who works here. He introduced me to him, got invited to a Christmas party, met one of the HR recruiters - she liked me, so as soon as I sent over my resume, she called me for an interview and found a position that would suit me. Then I got the job.

It's pretty much my dream job and so much room for growth, so I'm stoked.

Before this new gig, I got my old job through a temp agency from Monster.com and got hired permanently. Was there for almost 4 years. SO glad I got out of there- I was so unhappy.

I got hired by a client I was doing freelance work for because they were sick and tired of the in-house idiot.

It's a good gig. I took about a 50% cut in my hourly pay, but I get 100 hours of work every month guaranteed at the lower rate. Plus I get pretty much all the freedom I can stand, and an office where I can blast music all day long.

i didn't get my job here until about 1 1/2 years after my first interview. i found out about this place from a good friend who used to work here. they weren't hiring at the time, just wanted a list of people to call when a spot opened up. thank god i had patience, because I love it here, and i had a SHITTY job before this.

and i have my own office :rawk::rawk::rawk::rawk:

Jizzmopper?

A classmate of mine said,

"Say, Danny, are you looking for a part-time job? My boss is looking for some good writers."

It just so happened that I had quit my job at an immigration law firm just three days before my classmate asked me that question.

"Uh, yes I am, actually."

So, since November, I've been working with a private company that promotes literacy in New York City public schools.

you must have been one of my "clients."

I'll be damned! I didn't recognize you in the avatar without the elbow-high yellow rubber gloves!

and just imagine what I wore when I mopped!
