Opportunity Knocks…

A while back I received the best piece of advice ever:

“take advantage of every opportunity that is presented to you”

Its true. A random conversation at the weekend, and I’ve been offered the opportunity for a work placement. I know it will cut short my Easter break, but at the end of the day, if it helps in the future, then its worth it.

All of life is experience. Every little thing builds on another. If you don’t seize opportunities, you can be certain someone else will. There are so any students who graduate with nothing on their CV. No hobbies or skills. It show that all you did at uni was read books, or that you were too lazy (like a lot of students are) to get up and do something with your time. This was my problem in my first year, however in my second year I joined a society, got involved with volunteering and Tae Kwon-Do and haven’t looked back. I realised that my CV needed to say more. And that is the most important thing about going to university – life experience. (Oh, and the degree as well!)

And that, said John, is that.
