Senior year of university I was browsing my school’s intranet page late one evening when I saw an advertisement for a “developer interview day” hosted by a Fortune 25 company.
I thought what the heck and filled out the application. Upon submitting the form, I got an error saying that my GPA did not meet the minimum requirements for the position.
I kept bumping up my GPA until the submission went through.
Ended up working at that company for 5 years!
