I heard about the job which was across the street from the place I was currently working. I found the job posting and got the name of the HR person and called over the next morning. I was very fortunate to be able to speak with her and explain that what I had been doing for the past five years mirrored exactly what they were looking for ... She was interested to meet me because the two companies were very similar. I was called in for a formal interview and testing, and reference list needed to be provided.
