Back when I was job hunting last fall, I applied to an accounting supervisor's position at a large Agricultural firm. Didn't even make it to the interview stage. But at the end of the on-line application it asked me if I wanted my resume kept on file for future opportunities? I checked yes of course and figured I'd never hear from them again.

Then about 10 days ago I got an e-mail from them, with a job description, asking me if I'd be interested in applying. Even though I had deliberately not planned on job hunting for the first 5 weeks that I'm in rehab, I thought what the heck and brushed up my resume to include the new software I'd learned at my last job, wrote up a half assed cover letter to upload, and submitted my application.

Then I got an e-mail from them asking me to take a personality test on-line, which I did, it took 45 min and was a pain. Didn't expect to hear anything from them as it's for a Finance Director's Job which is a lot senior to my last job.

Then today I got an email from them, that actually had a person's name attached that said that based on my application, and the results of my personality test they were passing my resume onto senior management for consideration, and that they'd be in touch re next steps.

It'd be a cool job - it'd be finance director for 5 region's here in ON. Major downside is it's really high travel, but I've done that before and know I can handle it.

The timing is really awkward, as I'm only finished 2 weeks of rehab, and have 8 more weeks to go, and I'm still feeling like it's a real long shot, but what the heck it's good for my ego, and is making me feel good about my marketability for when I do start job hunting.
