Opa!

What I meant is, none of the people you know has asked you to come work with/for them?

I have some 12 years of experience and after my first gig I never had to take an interview and go through hiring process again.

Now I'm working as an H1B in the US and even this happened because of someone I worked a few years before. No interview or weird process except for the VISA thing.

And I don't think I'm an exception. What I learned is that people usually build a network of people and work with them most of their life.
