About two years ago and no, I didn’t know them (but I did have experience on the field) I just googled local companies. I got an interview in the second place I asked.

Well, 2 years ago when I was looking for a job and tried the same thing, I got told the don’t take resume’s unless there was a specific job posting. And I was asked if I saw a position advertised. Then asked to leave the business when I said I was following advice like this.
You hit a one in a million.

I don’t think it’s luck. What probably explains more of it is that I was applying for a job that involves getting your hands dirty in a company with less than 10 employees.

And me applying to the same sort of postion in yhe same sort of company means you really are just working with confirmation bias.
