70 Year Old UK Woman's Job Application Returns Home After 48 Years, Here’s What Happen Next
A 70 year old Uk women received a job offer letter 48 years after applying to be a motorbike stunt rider in 1976.
Viral News: In an unexpected twist, the story of a 70-year-old woman from the UK has gone viral on the internet. Tizi Hodson, a woman , applied for a position as a motorbike stunt rider back in January 1976. However, she never received a response from the company.
Nearly five decades later, a UK woman received a job offer letter that had been stuck in a post office drawer for 48 years.
A handwritten note “Late delivery by Staines Post Office” appears on the top of the letter. “Found behind a draw [sic]. Only about 50 years later,” it adds.
While sharing the post she said, “I always wondered why I never heard back about the job. Now I know why.”
Meanwhile, Hodson is still not sure about who brought the letter back to her or how it ended up in her hands, after all these years. Recalling the events that led her to figure it out.“How they found me when I’ve moved houses 50-odd times, and even moved countries four or five times, is a mystery.
Although it got stuck in the post, the setback did not prevent her from leading a “daredevil” life as she got a job that used to take her all over the world, the news agency reports.
She relocated to Africa, worked as a horse whisperer and snake wrangler, mastered flying, and went on to become an aerobatic pilot and flight teacher.
Reflecting on the letter she wrote when she was just beginning her career, Hodson told BBC that she was careful to keep her gender a secret. To ensure that she got an interview, she ensured that she did not disclose to the companies that advertised for a stunt rider that she was female. She was going at a hundred miles an hour to prove she didn’t care even if she would break every bone in her body, she was okay with that.
“If I could speak to my younger self, I would tell her to go and do everything I’ve done. I’ve had such a wonderful time in life, even if I have broken a few bones.”
