@futurebird I've been at my current job for 24 years. Before it I was consulting but I really didn't enjoy it. Someone I knew gave my business card to my current employer to do some consulting for them. While I was I doing that work for them a full time position opened up and I applied. Now I'm just a few years shy of retirement.

My first job out of recovery from alcoholism was at a little tiny produce place in Abbotsford, BC. I dropped off my resume, got a call for an interview that afternoon, and was hired a few days later. My boss, Trent, was incredibly generous and kind. He was one of the best bosses that I ever had. He was always there, getting his hands dirty with produce prep and stocking, jumping on cash, helping us break down shipments, put together restaurant orders, etc. He was the only boss that I ever had who felt more like a co-worker than a boss. I worked there from '14 to '19.

@futurebird I didn't know them, but they knew me. Can't really say if that was a positive or negative thing.

To be fair, i've only worked at one place over the past ten years, so "best" isn't really a fair way to describe it.

@futurebird Applied 'cold' for a different job at the company (which would have been a stretch for me), got an interview but not the job, and a few months later was invited to apply for the job[*] I ended up getting.
...This was like 15 years ago, since then the job has accrued responsibilities and eventually pay to match.
[*] A vacancy arising from someone getting a different job I'd also interviewed for; that company never actually got back to me to say I hadn't got it, so the phone call from my to-be-boss was how I found out lol. It would have been a bad fit for me so this was very positive all round.

@futurebird I was "recruited" back when 3rd party recruiter firms were still a real thing and not just a series of crypto scams crawling linkedin for desperate people...

@futurebird they saw my CV and reached out to me.
This was also the only job I've had over the last 15 years that I got not by searching on job boards and applying to job ads. -

I had a reverse cold application. 25 years ago I applied for an entry-level contract management position with a public agency. The CFO did not select me, but she said that she’d keep my résumé on file. I thought sure, everybody says that. Six months later I get contacted out of the blue for another position at the same office. Eventually I replaced her.
