If luck is involved in a job search, are hiring decisions made on a flip of a coin or by drawing straws?

Answer 1

Luck is involved; doesn't mean luck is the whole story.

Of course they don't use random methods for choosing employees. They don't want to waste money on someone who isn't right for the job.

The luck part comes in mostly with timing -- if the perfect job for you was filled a month before you started looking, for example.

Answer 2

Well he is saying if "luck" was involved. But it can't be a flip of a coin since thats 50/50. The draw... well that depends how many straws. But really they have this hidden slot machines behind their expensive offices and they like to pull on it on a Saturday each month.

That explains why they don't call you right away. ^_^

Answer 3

On all 4 activities, I consulted my buddies and so they might not make an particularly final decision for me.

Going by ability of the coverage I gave myself, I in no way regretted the techniques made.
