How would I say this in Japanese?

Question:


How would I ask 'how did that come about?' or something similar?

For example, somebody tells me they are working at a safari park for the summer, and I want to know how they ended up doing that ( without sounding too nosy or demanding)

Any help appreciated! And please don't use an online translator.. I'll know!

Answer:


Douyatte sono shigoto o tottano desuka?
どうやってその仕事を取ったのですか?

As you may know, there's a formal and informal way of speaking and writing in Japanese. The text above is in the formal. Hope this helps :)
