"I didn't even have to apply. Remember Ed from our old organization? I ran into Ed one day and he said, "We need someone to head the widget compliance area. Come on over and work for me." Now I didn't know anything about widget compliance but things were getting strange in my current job and so in a couple of weeks I called Ed and asked him if he could raise the salary. He paused but said yes and so I went over there and I stayed until retirement. Great place to work and I learned a great deal about the subject."
Questions:
- Has anything like this ever happened to you? If so, how frequently?
- In general, how often do you think selections like this take place?

That actually just happened to me. I heard from a friend that she was stepping down from her current job, and wanted to know if I would be interested in it. I was currently out of work, so I said "sure". She talked to her boss, and the Ex Dir, and they brought me in as a 1099 to start, just to help with year-end donation processing. They formally hired me this past January. Interestingly enough, about three weeks after I was officially hired, my boss mysteriously left the organization.
CincyCat,
I am truly envious.
Congratulations!
Michael
