The most important meeting in my life

I think I had the most important meeting in my life I had a six month ago. This meeting helped me find a job.
One day I was going from my English classes (or leaving my English class). I was a bit sad because I couldn’t find a job for two months. And a day before I again had been at a job interview in the publishing house and then I supposed they didn’t take me on this job. Of course, the recruitment agent was polite, but they had needed an experienced worker. And what could I say? I had just graduated from college and hadn’t any experience at all. But I wanted work in the profession very much. So I was walking on the street thinking deeply and wasn't looking around me. But then I lifted my eyes and saw a girl smiling at me. I recognized my classmate. She came to me. We greeted each other and continued walking together. She told me that she had been at college that day and our teacher asked her about me, because our teacher had the job for me. I was absolutely surprised. I walked to the college and found my teacher there. She told me that one publishing house was looking for a proof-reader. She also told me details about this publishing house and the kind of literature they printed. She asked if I wanted to apply for this job. I was a bit afraid because they printed technical literature, which is a very difficult kind of literature for proof-reading. But I decided not to miss this chance. She gave me the telephone number of the director and I arranged an appointment.
The next day I went to the publishing house. It was the not big and quite publishing house. (Не понимаю ... как по-русски?) There were a few people working. The welcome was warming. The director was an old kind man and the main editor was a tall thin woman. They made a good impression on me. The salary was not big but it didn’t matter for me. The main thing was that I would work in my profession. Then I met the main proof-reader. She was an old woman who was working in this publishing house for a large part of her life. She wasn’t very tall, but very stately. Despite the age difference we got on well. She was very kind and helped me if had some questions.
I've working there since then and I’m very happy. People and work are absolutely amazing. I don’t worry about difficulties any more. And I think working there is a good chance to learn my profession (maybe, in all ways?) Iam very glad that I met my classmate that day. It was an unexpected but very helpful meeting.
