An app I made in college most certainly (but indirectly) led to my current position. In college I made an app that did some simple calculations to determine the availability of parking spots at my overcrowded commuter school. It was not very advanced at all; it had a label and traffic light for each parking lot and was based on the timing of classes to change the color of the light. When I showed it to a recruiter, I got an internship that lasted 8 months at a well known software company where I gained enough experience to move on to a better and more organized company. I didn't receive the best education, and certainly am not the brightest amongst my colleagues, but I have no doubt that developing and publishing that specific app in school led to my current position.
