I was laid off from my last job in February along with a good friend, Magcake, that I met while working there. We jokingly said we should bill ourselves as a package deal and try to get hired by the same company. She had a temp job for two weeks and I've worked a part time position for the last month. Neither of us is getting very many interviews.
Magcake had an interview two weeks ago. She asked for my resume so she could take it with her. To the amazement of the CEO, Magcake left my resume suggesting that he should hire me if he didn't like her. A week later I got a call to meet with him on Saturday.
As the interview was winding down we started discussing Magcake. He mentioned that he was looking for a way to hire her, but wasn't sure where she would fit. Magcake and I have different backgrounds, I'm Exec Admin and she's IP legal. after conversations back and forth I got a call this afternoon. We've both been hired.
Not only did I get myself a job, but I got Magcake one too. It was unorthodox, and it could only happen to me...or Magcake. :)
