An Occupy Wall Street protestor has found her dream job working in the financial district.

While Tracy Postert was demonstrating, a high-powered passer-by offered her work.

Tracy, who has a PhD in biomedical science, was unemployed and had all but given up on finding work when she joined the movement in October.

However, while she was protesting, she held up a sign saying 'PhD Biomedical Scientist seeking fulltime employment, ask me for my resume'.

It caught the eye of the chief market analyst for John Thomas Financial Brokerage, who called her for an interview.

She starts the job next week, training to be a certified financial analyst.
