<human>: Figured I might as well share how I made it work. I was fired from my last job and it was... a bit of a messy divorce. As in, former boss decided to make an example out of me; appealed my unemployment benefits 4 times and forbade any of my former coworkers from speaking to me. So I was worried that I wouldn't ever work in my field again. In addition to making contacts with every tech recruiter I could, I also searched Careerbuilder, Indeed and Monster for relevant jobs every day and updated my resume (generally just changing a couple words every morning.) I had about 10 interviews in the last 5 months, and more phone screenings than I could count, and got those through recruiters, online postings and people finding my resume online. Ultimately, I applied for the one that mattered on careerbuilder on July 19, got called back about it and answered some questions to their recruiter (with a division of a company in the top 50 of the Fortune 500) on July 22 and never heard back again.

Until last Monday, when I got an email that they were looking to move forward with filling this position and could I come in Tuesday morning for an interview. I researched the company, got to the interview 5 minutes early and sharply dressed, and I nailed the interview. Well, I guess I did, I've felt like I nailed half my interviews so far, but seeing as I don't have 6 jobs right now, my intuition in that department could be better. I was right this time, because I got an email offering me the job about 2 hours after I left the building.

I'm starting later this week.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: It's a numbers game, online job postings actually do lead somewhere sometimes; big corporations move slowly and just because you didn't hear from them for a month doesn't mean it's over.
