What are they talking about?

W: Hey, I heard you finally landed yourself a job. How did you manage to do that?(53)
M: Well, it’s a bit funny how I got this job. I mean, I searched all the employment agencies and had been reading the classified ads section of the newspaper every day for the last few weeks without having any luck. Then, I got this phone call from a friend of mine I hadn’t talked to since I graduated from college. He told me that he started a company and he wanted me to help him out.(54)
W: Wow, that is a bit far-fetched. How long has it been since you graduated?
M: It’s been four years.(55)I guess I am really lucky to get this chance since the job market is terrible nowadays.
