Would you rather get a job or find an opportunity?

Jobs are actually harder to find than opportunities. On your journey to find a job people are more likely to tell you NO they have none. Opportunities are everywhere. You've heard of the hidden job market. Those are the opportunities hiding in the bushes.

You task is to listen, listen and listen more then pursue the opportunities once you have uncovered them. Remember that many employers don't really know what they need. Your job is to help them decipher what they are doing and how you may be able to assist, even if that means referring a friend rather than you.

Finding opportunities is far more fun and easy to do. You also get to meet more people along the way and in the end learn something.
