Whatever you do, answer one: how did you really get your job?

Three questions, one for every job. Pick whichever fits yours: 1. How did you really get your job? (A CV, someone you knew, years of trying?) 2. Is it worth what it pays? (No numbers needed. Yes, no or "it depends", and why.) 3. Would you tell a friend to do it too? Say what you do and your area, and roughly when this was true. Anonymous is fine.
