As a teenager, I got my first job as a technician at a local PC store in the mid-90s, I think solely because I dabbled on a Amiga at home. I just walked into the store with a resume. The guy who ran the shop was an early Amiga user, and though Amigas had fadded by that time (1994), it created a connection - in the interview, the owner said: "Amiga, that's a sign of good taste".
When I graduated from university, I was looking for work. I had an great-uncle who repaired and sold church organs. I helped build out his website, and I think it ultimately helped me land a job at a another company that build digital control systems for pipe organs.
