Faces of the future

"My contract at Microsoft was ending and I was looking for my next job. So, of course I put my Facebook status to something like 'looking for a job.' Almost predictably, a friend in Chicago saw it and mentioned she had a contact at Paramount who was looking to fill a position.

They offered me a job that day and two weeks later I was driving a packed car from Seattle to LA."
