Learning of a good job opportunity is hard; getting an interview for the job is even harder; and getting the particular job could be harder than solving the "Rubik's Cube."
In other words, getting a good job is hard as hell for most of us. BUt where there is a will, there is a way. Start with a plan, call on your friends, find an advocate, and "gut it out." It will all come together sooner or later.
In fact, when it happens it will probably be the result of something totally unexpected and you will immediately think that finding the right job was luck. But it won't be luck. It will be because of persistence; it will be because of something a friend did or said; It will be because you're qualified; It will be because of inextricably linked circumstances that you won't be able to explain. BUt it won't be mere luck.
