Getting a Job After Paying a Bribe

Question
A person obtained a suitable job through bribery, is this permissible? And is his earnings from this job lawful?
Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: It is forbidden for him to pay a bribe to obtain a job, and his earnings from the job are lawful if he performs his work to the best of his ability and fears God in it, and God knows best.
