Yesterday I attended the GMA job fair in Detroit. My local ABC station, ABC12, was there and did a broadcast. They also put a link to their story on their Facebook page. I posted a comment about the story giving a brief account of my experience at the job fair. I didn’t really think much about it at the time.
Today, I receive an email from a recruiter who contacted me through my personal website. In this email, the recruiter said he saw my comment on the ABC12 Facebook page, and then went to my website (by clicking on my name and visiting my Facebook page where I have my personal website listed as a link) and thought that I might be a match for a job and to please call him. So, I called and spoke with the gentleman. I now have an interview lined up for Friday afternoon.
So, while I never would have thought that my Facebook page, let alone a comment that I made on Facebook, would ever yield a job interview, I’m very glad that it did!
