Ha, I got my current job through a local car forum, although nobody was advertising, just some guy was talking about how he needs good floodlights on his 4x4 Opel because he drives a lot in northern Scandinavia. I enquired a little about job possibilities as I was fed up with driving and so it went. Saw him and my future boss for the first time a couple of months later in a town 800 miles from home with zero experience.
Three years and one week later I’m still thinking that this is the job I want to go to retirement from.
