Fortunate? You get a job based on fortunes of life?

Yep. According to the NY Times (the job market section of which I check every
Sunday), roughly 80% of all the professional positions never get advertised. The
people who land them get turned onto the position by their friends. The PC term
for this is "networking." Another way to put it is that you can land a decent
job if you're lucky.
