How to use "Stumble upon" in context?
When I was choosing a job, I didn't necessarily want one that was bound by rigid schedules or one with a boss who monitored every move I made. I wanted one that was flexible, one where I could make my own hours, and one where I could work on projects I was interested in.
And that's what I found when I stumbled upon a job opportunity.
The job was with a non-profit organization that encouraged environmentalism and conservation. I was able to set my own hours, work on projects that I was interested in, and truly thrive in the job.
