How did you get your current job?

Went to meet some friends at a bar last weekend and there was an older couple with them. I chatted with them for a few minutes and find out the guy is a big wig at big international company. He proceeds to ask if I want a job and then gives me his business card. The pay would more than double my current salary...
Got me wondering how do people usually fall into their jobs? Know a guy? Just apply online? Cold call?

I walked into a sawmill and asked if I could buy some lumber from them. Told them I was exporting it. I bought, they sold. And the relationship grew from there. They eventually asked me to come on as a partner.

Out of 4 different jobs, 3 of them was because I knew someone. And now that I think about it, the other one that I didn't know anyone, I was asked if I could go in for an interview in 30 mins.
Didn't have time to go back home to change so I went in with blue jeans, with either a collared shirt or a tshirt on so in all 4 of those jobs it was very casual.
When I am in a suit in tie I am not relaxed. Anyway.. Yeah, I mean you really take advantage of anything you can.

They saw my resume on indeed and contacted me. Did a few phone interviews and one via Skype and that was it.

Current job? Pure nepotism and wish I would’ve taken the opportunity years ago, but I wanted to make my own money. The first company I worked for out of college I was denied internships for 3 years. So, I kept getting more experience and applying until I earned the opportunity. My second job I walked in the office and asked if they had an open position for the role I wanted.

Retired now buy at the time I interviewed with a telecommunications company. While being walked around the place I saw an uncle of mine at a desk. I waved, he came over and chatted a bit with the interviewer and I and 3 days later I got a job offer in the mail. My uncle’s assistance and my fine GPA/Physics degree combined to get the job I believe.

Friend. There was a position that would be opening for someone who was retiring. Wasn't posted or officially listed.

Recruited by a former boss.

Got to the final interview and it was down to me and someone else. They went with the other person but it was a job I really wanted so I kept an eye on it. After two years the person they went with didn’t work out so I immediately reached out to the manger before the job was posted.

Previous job was almost exactly the same, but at a restaurant bar and I don't believe he was there with his wife.
Current job was pure luck. Right time, right place, even had a resume that I had just updated on my phone to send over on the spot.
