The professional world is full of surprises… opportunities that lurk where you least expect them!
Check out this inspiring story of someone who found a job thanks to a stroke of luck…
“A tablecloth landed me my first big contract as a freelancer,” says Sophie, 27, an interior designer.
One evening, I decided to grab a bite at the little pizzeria in my neighborhood. While waiting for my meal, my mind wandered
. I took out a pencil and sketched a few drawings on the tablecloth… I was reimagining the restaurant
. I didn’t realize the owner was watching me from behind the counter
. He said to me with an amused smile:
“Have you redecorated my restaurant?”
Embarrassed, I apologize for drawing on his tablecloth…
To my great surprise, he’s interested in my sketch and asks me to explain my ideas to him
He sits down at my table and we discuss his layout, his decor, his inspirations, and my ideas…
I never would have guessed that he’d say to me: “When can you start the work?”
That tablecloth ultimately landed me my first big contract!
