Comment on How did you get your job?

Copypasting my answer from the previous thread:
My current specific employment: A coworker of mine was laid off from my former employer, and joined the competition instead. Turns out that they needed what I do, and were willing to pay whatever it took, so they poached me with an offer I couldn’t refuse.
My job: Covid happened, and cuts were made among the field crew. I landed a role in the support structure instead, where I’ve been ever since.
My career: No fucking idea what happened. In 2008 I applied for a job and I had no idea what it was, and for which I was severely under qualified. I got it anyway. Turns out that being used to heavy machinery, computers/linux, and jury rigging was exactly what they were looking for, depsite wanting all sorts of degrees.

Do you mean the one that I linked? I’m still getting used to Lemmy and am unable to access any content there. How were you able to do this, or was it just your own comment that still showed in your account history that you were able to retrieve?
Employers’ postings tend to overshoot, it seems, yeah.
