Defence is not the only solution in Job hunting

Not sharing job hunting methodologies with the spirit of unconditional generosity is dangerous. It creates a handicap that comes back like a bad coin.
Perspectives need change. We are so fierce in protecting ourselves from competition that we tend to forget what competition really means. If your neighbor is one up on the pudding pie, it’s simplest to ask for the recipe.
Yet, we choose to re-invent the wheel.
Instead, we need to re-invent our thinking. 

Especially now, when access to information relating to the job market is uniformly available to everyone, success boils down to effective usage rather than special skills.
We have access to ropes to pull us up, but we don’t know how to make them into ladders.
When I was a fresher, breaking my shoes on the job hunt race track, I had stated that no matter what I do, the other one always got what I want. 

And now my perspectives have changed. I do give a thought to the fact that job hunting is not a chakravyuha. Somewhere, there is a map and one does not have to be a cartographer to figure it out.
One way to improve your perception with time is to keep changing your spectacles.
