GETTING READY FOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

There are chances that an employment opportunity may come today, tomorrow, or next.

You cannot tell, but it will surely come someday. Therefore, you must always be ready. It

is not enough to be positively anticipating an opportunity, you must prepare for it. You
have heard in the past that opportunity comes to those who wait for it, but that is no

longer true. Nowadays, opportunity comes to those who go after it – those who prepare
for it, recognize it, and can seize it whenever it comes. How prepared are you?

The people that get jobs every day are not only those who are well connected or bribe
their ways through, but individuals who are actively searching for jobs and have properly

positioned themselves to get one whenever there is an opening. They are intentional,
they expect it and prepare for it. By preparation, it means first, you know what you want,

where to get it, and you are actively searching the right places for it. It means you are
mentally alert, well-organize, up to date, and modern. You are not just doing a loose,

undefined, focus-less white goose search, but a well-coordinated search within the
industries or sectors where you have competitive advantages.

Preparation also means getting all your necessary supporting documents (Resume,
Testimonials, Certificates, Recommendation letters etc.) ready, and in the right formats

(electronics: PDF or .docx file, hard copies: photocopies) and storage. Storage and

accessibility matter a lot. Exploring the opportunity and advantage of a modern cloud
electronic storage means like google drive and Dropbox services to store your documents

is a wise thing to do. It enhances easy electronic document retrieval and submission on
job websites. It means you can access the documents from any of your devices at any

time, provided you are connected to the internet. It is safer, and preferable to your
devices storage disks which is liable to theft, accidental deletion, or virus attack. You

would not want to have an employment opportunity, and your supporting documents are
missing, unavailable or inaccessible. It is necessary to get your documents ready and

easily accessible before seeking job openings.
