I just happened to be in the room when my recruiter got a call from someone looking to fill a vacancy. I have no experience in the industry or anything like it, let alone the qualifications, but have the really basic general skills required. They put me forward anyway. I got the job - it’s basically stress free, great people, decent pay, clear advancement track, extremely low employee turn over and the commute is really short.

Easily the most confused I’ve been getting a job.

If you knew about the birds and the bees, you would know that this wasn’t random.

Eh, it kind of is since your due date won’t align exactly.

Wife and I were granted permanent residency. I didn’t expect us to get it as early as we did, so it was a nice surprise.
