Mine found me.
Out of the blue one day I got a call from a "headhunter" who got my name and number from a gal with whom I used to work. She had moved on and was the HUMAN RESOURCES (personnel department) head at the company she was working for at the time.
The job sounded interesting and I went to meet the person for whom I would work on a Saturday at a hotsy totsy spot in Westwood Village right next to UCLA! I know. High falutin'! That interview went well so I made an appointment at the company where I would be working and I went in for an interview with the person who would make the ultimate decision and we hit it off right off the bat!
This was a long time ago. I was making $18K/year where I was and I was offered the job at $23K and within three months got a raise. Yep. I fell in the honeypot alright having made no effort at all. When I left the company I was earning $40K/year plus a bonus of around $16K/year. No college degree. Just an AA degree in LIBERAL ARTS and I was the one who did the in-house accounting. It was a GREAT job. 100% insurance was paid. There was a profit-sharing plan too which I didn't even know about at the time of hire. I guess the gal with whom I spoke forgot about it. We'd pay 20% of insurance cost during the year and at the end of the year we got that 20% back in one lump sum.
I bet you've got a doozy of a story to share about your good luck? So would you?
