I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but its soooo important to market yourself. You have to ready at a moment's notice to give someone "your stats". Being able to show my leadership abilities and my skill set has landed me several opportunities.
Also, how open are you to change? Are you set on one particular path and one path only? Sometimes opportunities open up that aren't in the area you thought you wanted to be in, but they turn out to be the best situation for you. Don't let a great opportunity slip away because the field isn't what you planned to do.
