On the way to work... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I am parking outside of our HQ today for a quick stop prior to heading back out. I see this pearl white BRZ coming down the road. I think to myself - cool!

Car swings around, does a U-turn and parks behind me.

I get out and a 20-ish dude gets out of his BRZ wearing khakis and a button down blue shirt. I say "Nice car!" he says "you too!" He then asked me if I knew where a specific address was. He said he was on his way to an interview. I asked "what are you interviewing for?" He said "warehouse".

I am the IT director for our company so I said "Hey, if that doesn't work out, here is my contact info - get in touch and we will arrange an interview."

And that is how easily job opportunities can fall from the sky.

"Cool story, bro."

More people like you need to exist! If you ever need an engineer hit me up haha. I've always wanted to go to the west coast.

So you'd hire someone just because of what he drives?

No harm in giving the kid an interview.

Kuros · 07-10-2014, 04:12 PM

He didnt say he would give him a job, just an interview.

Who knows. Maybe the kid is an IT genius.

No, but knowing who to talk to (or use as a referral) is infinitely better than what you put on your resume. And getting to the interview part means you've successfully bypassed 95% of applicants.

Still up to the applicant to prove their worth, but that's another story.
