Opportunities don't happen, you create them.

Opportunities don't just come to you. You have the power to create them yourself. If you know what you're doing, which is most likely, then you won't find it difficult to find work that fits your skills and what you want out of life.

Your career should be a reflection of yourself. Many people are not going to have a job for the rest of their life. It may be hard to believe, but as much as jobs can come and go, you create your own opportunities.

So even if you don't think that now is the best time for an opportunity, keep your eyes open. You never know what's going to happen next.In order to be successful in your work, you must create opportunities for yourself. Make sure that your resume and LinkedIn profile are always up-to-date so you can make the most of any opportunity that may come your way. Include a photo with each application so employers know what they're getting into if they hire you.
