Dear

You don't know where he comes from, yet he got the job.

Can I say like this the above sentence?

you don't know where he comes from, though he got the job.

Thanks

Your second version is grammatical and logical, but it would not be accepted by the ear of a native speaker as an equivalent of the first version. You'd have to say, Though you don't know where he comes from, he got the job. " It's an interesting example.
