    Finding new opportunities (Part II)

    Many fresh graduates are unaware that the jobs postings in newspapers or employment websites are only the tip of the iceberg when compared to all the actual career opportunities available on the market. Oftentimes, the advertised jobs attract dozens or even hundreds of interested candidates. Tracking down a position that is unadvertised or doesn’t yet exist is therefore worthwhile because one will face a lot less competition. In this video, a team of students are discovering the golden opportunity of their lives. Does their story inspire you to find your own future dream job?
